Which month would any sane seafarer cross the channel in
Labour do it again!
- Thread starter JP_
- Start date
Labour will be having an inquiry into this monthly total, there will be panic at this downturn in imported voters.
Kier will be on the blower to the RNLI right now, demanding they bloody well get out there and find some.

It's has to get lower at some point they are all bloody here already 
I'm pretty sure they're making more much faster than we can take them.

Depends on the boat speed and size obviously.
But with sea temperatures close to 10 degrees or less, wind speed above 10 kts and heavy rain. its not ideal.
Anything other than a southerly is not great, if you are going North. Easterlies and westerlies will aid a sailing boat, but give you choppy water with wind over tide if you time it wrong
while Jan-25 had a some days with very strong winds, Jan-26 had twice as many days with heavy rain and strong winds

So who presided over the highest number?
Conservatives. 2022 when they tightened up inspections and brought in £10k per person fines for those arriving by lorry.
But for a week or two of bad weather, Labour would have taken the top spot last year. Everyone knows that. Not everyone wants to hear or admit that.

Since we are cherry picking months - December-2024 under Labour was the worse month on record
Dare say the French authorities have clamped down on the corruption / brown envelopes / bribes that have probably been going on

Loss of life was 'avoidable' in deadliest ever Channel migrant boat sinking, inquiry finds
More than 30 people died trying to make the journey from France to the UK in the early hours of 24 November 2021.
£7.5M to find out that "Travelling on board a small, unseaworthy and crowded boat, and crossing one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, is an inherently dangerous activity."
money well spent. - not.
