Looks like Notch has had a shandy with his tea tonight.

oh look here is a ficko Reform MP admitting Reforms "take em back to France" is bolox

 
WRONG

pushbacks are not legal**

Motorbiking is WRONG


**when a boat is in distress
In migration, pushback is "a set of state measures by which refugees and migrants are forced back over a border – generally immediately after they crossed it – without consideration of their individual circumstances and without any possibility to apply for asylum". Pushbacks violate the prohibition of collective expulsion of asylum seekers in Protocol 4 in countries party to the European Convention on Human Rights[ and often violate the international law prohibition on non-refoulement.
 
…and he's still not sobered up this morning. Poor Notch.
Was he drunk last night?

It reminds me of Churchill's supposed saying when confronted by his house mistress, "Sir, you're drunk!!"
"Yes, and you're a racist and in the morning I'll be sober". (excuse the paraphrasing). :giggle:
 
Pushbacks are legal under Article 25 UNCLOS
If pushbacks are legal, how come Priti Patel dropped a bill claiming they were legal

And how come the House of Commons library says they are not legal

The main issue is whether pushback operations place people in danger, or whether they can be conducted in such a way as to not endanger life.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea creates an obligation to rescue anyone in danger at sea. Article 98 obliges states to require all masters of a ship to help anyone in danger at sea, so long as it does not also cause serious danger to the rescuing ship. It requires vessels to:

  • Assist anyone found in danger at sea;
  • Proceed to rescue people in distress, if informed of their need for help and if this may reasonably be expected of the vessel;
  • Assist and follow procedures in the event of a collision.
These obligations apply to:

  • A state’s own waters (the territorial sea);
  • any search and rescue region beyond the territorial waters (an area set up by agreements between states to manage search and rescue operations);
  • international waters (which can include search and rescue regions).
Commentators who suggest pushback tactics could be incompatible with the UK’s international obligations for search and rescue, say this is because vessels containing migrants in the English Channel have generally been small and vulnerable to danger through pushback tactics.

I’m not drinking at the moment as my wife is on steroids and can’t drink -I’m not opening a bottle of wine just me, we usually have a glass together

Robespierre makes a point at the start when he says these Gumbies - no way will i call them 'reform' from now on - get disproportionate airtime compared to other independent parties or the Greens.
