What's happened to the small boats?

[Koolpc]

Being in the EU has not deterred or stopped illegal migrants from getting in to France etc etc etc.....

There are clips going round of newly arrived Africans to Ireland being given brand new houses - and complaining about them. 'It is not suitable for my ADHD children'.

And they've been debunked.

You claim to be a man of the world.

Yet someone has led you up the garden path.

I have seen those also.
Can you explain in what way they have been debunked.

You are, of course, mistaken.

Because you refuse to accept the effects of Farage's Folly.

Feel free to post a well argued case that Brexit is the cause of the small boat crisis. It’s complete nonsense.

"Has Brexit exacerbated the small boats crisis?"

Yes, experts and reports indicate that Brexit has exacerbated the small boats crisis.
Leaving the European Union ended the UK's participation in the Dublin Regulation and access to EU-wide fingerprint databases, making it significantly harder to legally return asylum seekers to the first safe European country they entered.
Key Ways Brexit Impacted the Crisis
Loss of Returns Agreements: The UK lost its legal mechanism to deport unauthorized arrivals back to EU member states, creating a powerful pull factor for cross-Channel migration.
No Database Access: Britain lost real-time access to the EU's fingerprint database (Eurodac), preventing authorities from easily checking if an asylum seeker had already been rejected elsewhere in Europe.Incentive for Smugglers: People-smuggling networks use the lack of a post-Brexit EU-wide returns deal as a marketing tool, assuring migrants they cannot easily be sent back.

Alternative Perspectives
Wider Global Trends: Critics of blaming Brexit argue that global conflicts, climate change, poverty, and the professionalization of transnational smuggling gangs play a far larger role.
Government Stance: Some government ministers and political figures maintain that domestic factors, legal backlogs, and underground labor markets are primary drivers, asserting that the small boats issue is not fundamentally a "Brexit-made" failure.

That'll work....once they realise the French will have them back they will stop going to France, and in turn our old codgers can fall asleep in the park without fear.

When I ask similar questions, I get told "It's all on the internet, go and look."

So, go and look.

If it turns out not to be true, good, but I doubt it. You are the person who said that it was perfectly normal for muslims to ride through Manchester centre on horseback in paramilitary uniforms.

I thought I'd search on Irish and immigrants. To be sure to be sure.
Found this: https://www.echolive.ie/nationalnews/arid-41393524.html

It says they have 1485 illegals.
"They represent 28.9 illegal third country nationals per 1,000 Irish inhabitants – the highest per capita rate among the 27 EU member states where the average was 2.8 per 1,000 citizens."

Ireland's population is about 5,400,000

Hmm
1485/5,400,000, which is 0.000275
So not 28 per 1000, but 0.28 per 1000

I suppose they call that a 1% error?

Can you show me where I said that?

 

[JohnD]

Perhaps Spline the Racist is just making things up in the hope that somebody who doesn't know better will think it's true

 

[SPLINE]

Can you show me where I said that?

Yes, why - can't you remember?

 

[securespark]

I remember arguing, using the 1936 law, that it wasn't a paramilitary uniform that they were wearing.

As for riding a horse, you can do that pretty much anywhere.

 

[securespark]

Yes, why - can't you remember?

As I've just said, I argued they were not wearing paramilitary uniform. The fact they were Muslim is immaterial and again, as I've just said, you can ride a horse anywhere.

Yes, you see it every day in the centre of Manchester.
