Well at least he is having a go.I like him because he makes me smile.

Well at least he is having a go.

he is telling you what you want to hear.

Last time he sold you sunlit uplands, whilst making the country worse off.

It’s a shame you’ve not learnt

I think it is more important for a leader to make you smile and tell you what you want to hear than to get bogged down with policies and economics that mean very little to your average person. I have never noticed a. difference in my life whoever is in power. Therefore if one of them can make you smile that is high on my priority. Take Starmer as an example, does he make you smile? No he doesn't, he makes you miserable. At least Farage can put a smile on your face.

Gotcha, you want a clown in charge of the UK.

Boris always put a smile on my face. I do hope he makes a comeback, it’s what the Tories need right now.

I said smile, not laugh. Big difference. Try voting for a party that puts a smile on your face rather than voting for some that don't.

I found this to be a sure way of makinng you happy.

Notch was happy when he voted for Brexit but then got the 'ump when he couldn’t get any tomatoes in his local supermarkets so he changed sides.

it doesnt say they must go to France

it says "to a place of safety"

and it says "taking into account the particular circumstances of the case and guidelines developed by the Organization"





The Contracting Government responsible for the search and rescue region in which such assistance is rendered shall exercise primary responsibility for ensuring such coordination and co-operation occurs, so that survivors assisted are disembarked from the assisting ship and delivered to a place of safety, taking into account the particular circumstances of the case and guidelines developed by the Organization.In these cases the relevant Contracting Governments shall arrange for such disembarkation to be effected as soon as reasonably practicable.

In French Waters, France is the Contracting Government responsible. If they are not going to France, its France that needs to arrange it and seek permission.

That applies everywhere, but in reality in the channel area. there's so many rescue boats monitoring the refugees boats (as you keep telling us), that there's little and rare need for a passing vessel to effect a rescue of refugees.

So we're discussing the conduct of dedicated rescue boats.

Rescue of boat in distress in French waters and it's coordinated by the French, who can and will direct other rescue boats to assist ot not to assist.
The rescued are usually taken to France.

Exactly the same applies if the rescue is effected in UK waters, UK rescue will coordinate and direct the rescue. Those rescued will be taken to UK.

Finally we got there

But on occasions it might be more expeditious to take those rescued to the other side.
It's about saving lives not strictly keeping to rules and regulations, nor scoring pointless political points.

It would be a strange scenario where taking someone further is the best plan.

that would probably mean another 5 years of Labour.

I don't look towards politics for amusement, sorry. Never have done. It's probably one of the least amusing things I can think of. A bit like cancer or estate agents/traffic wardens, people bragging about their wealth, liars etc.
