Boat illegals up under Labour.

Well knock me down with a feather!

"More than 20,000 people have made the crossing to the UK since Labour took power, up on 17,020 during the same period last year".

Yvette Cooper won't set timetable for cutting 'dangerous' boat crossings

The home secretary said the number of crossings - more than 20,000 since Labour took power - was "far too high".

Just one reply so far and I can’t see it because whoever posted it is on my ignore list. Oh well, it looks like I’ve struck another nerve.

We just make them far too welcome here, if we treated them the same as the counties they passed through on route, the problem would completely disappear..

One of the reasons why the UK is having to build more houses

They have to be housed some where

Tents, on some isolated Scottish island?

Would it ?

It's that simple?

Lots of other countries are having the same problems.

Maybe the issue is just a little more complicated

Australia had a lot of success with diverting migrants to an island, making it clear they wouldn't be going to mainland. Then liberals got elected. Believe the Itis do something similar with Lampedusa Island.

Rwanda would have been effective if liberal judges and a new marxist government hadn't intervened. There was anecdotal evidence that even though Rwanda never got off the ground, the threat of ending up there was influencing some migrants about where to go to chance their arms. Predictably, crossing numbers from France are even worse under the new 'administration' we have.

You've seen the post above yours?

That's the difference between the "systems".

Rwanda was never going to work, and at an incredible cost too. How many would have gone there? Once you answer that you can work out it's actual effectiveness.

Well there has been a high level meeting in Italy with our Home Secretary

Task force

Possibly, but it's worth a try!

I'd prefer a more thorough approach.

Proper processing, returning, and breaking up the gangs.

Some progress seems to be happening, if you look past the headlines

Labour have deported more failed asylum seekers in 4 months than the tories did in 4 years.... live in a bubble mottie.

That's more than a slight exaggeration, what's your source?

The returns are up, 12% on the previous quarter and 29% on the same period in 2023.
