RNLI

A different AI said 40000 reached us this year, down "about 40%".

Indeed a search on Rattler, marine drones, found quite a lot.
A jetski with a retiarius on the back, would do.
That's the Roman fellah with the trident and the net.
Net to foul the prop

They could borrow Highwayman on his day off

Meanwhile, back in reality central...

".......the UK is experiencing one of the steepest declines in net migration and is at one of the lowest levels since 2012.

Small boat arrivals also declined in the first five months of this year: 9,142 migrants managed to reach the British coast between the beginning of the year and June 9 -- that's 38 percent fewer arrivals than during the same period last year....."

Your turn Mottie.

Another 3 blasts of the horn as the good ship Nosenout runs its engines in full astern.

Nobody is talking about legal migration.

The numbers year to date are broadly similar. When you look at people rather than boats.

The smugglers are using larger boats with more people than before.

What TF has that to do with the RNLI? You did start a thread about the RNLI didn’t you? Do you want to change it now? That’s called 'swerving' dontcha know.

Fair enough. It is also suggested to people that they do not go hill walking in t-shirt, shorts, and trainers, with no map, compass, warm/waterproof clothing and food. Should mountain rescue teams not turn out to rescue idiots who do?

Where did I say the RNLI shouldn't rescue migrants in danger? I just said the migrants shouldn't put themselves at risk, and neither should irresponsible hill walkers.

They should claim asylum in the first safe country

Indeed they shouldn't, but they do. And he RNLI should no more be criticised for turning out to rescue people at sea than mountain rescue teams are for rescuing numpties on hills or doctors treating smokers with lung cancer.

That is so not an answer to "What about people who want to claim asylum in this country? "

Noseall completely ignores my post because, well, his loveable French rogues are not doing what we pay them to do.

No problem. They can sit in a high security facility for a few years to think about it.
Basic food, shelter and medical assistance will be provided whilst they decide if it was a good idea to enter the UK illegally.
They can stay as long as they like.

That's how it should be, not left to roam around free and work on the side under different peoples names for Deliveroo whilst taking our hospitality.

After a few months when they have all buggered off (to some other soft touch) and the boats are no more, we could turn them into tourist attractions/hotels where the guests pay to have a good laugh at virtuous lefties.
Like a museum of absurdity.

Or how about providing ways for people to claim asylum without having to break the law?

Nope.

Between January 1 and mid-July 2026, approximately 12,500 people crossed the English Channel in small boats. This represents a reduction of roughly 37% to 40% compared to the same period in 2025. The drop follows a landmark £662 million partnership agreed with France in April to boost beach enforcement

Glad I could help educate you and Mottie.

Did I show you the crux of this thread.....
