Are the border force and the RNLI losing their touch?

[Mottie]

"A spokesperson for Kent Police said: "Officers are conducting enquiries to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident." Meanwhile, an investigation has begun into whether a migrant boat reached the Kent coast without being intercepted by the Border Force. The thousands of people crossing the English Channel are usually brought to shore in Border Force or RNLI boats, but one is reported to have slipped through on Saturday, the first time this has happened since December 2022. Kent Police said five people were detained near Kingsdown and passed to immigration authorities, the same day as more than 1,000 people were recorded to have arrived in the UK by small boat".

Am I reading that right - between them, the border force and the RNLI brought over a thousand illegal immigrants into this country on just one day alone last week and no boat has made it all the way here under its own power since December 2022? No wonder people are marching in vast numbers. This country will sink at that rate. It’s a wonder they haven’t anchored a floating pontoon just past the midway point in the channel where they can stop off and have a cuppa and a comfort break while waiting for their water taxi.

A thousand young men we know absolutely nothing about and coming from known troublesome countries in one day alone, yet nobody sees this as an invasion or a problem. Financialy and security wise this is too much to swallow. Bye Bye Starmer I would say.

So you think Starmer is responsible for people getting on small boats and leaving France.

The boats would arrive here anyway if they weren’t picked up.

So your argument is atupid


Poor Mottie has become radicalised by Reform

 

[Mottie]

Oh, so we are spending hundreds of thousands of pounds just to save the traffickers a couple of gallons of petrol? Why not just wait on the beach for them to arrive before taxiing them to their 4 star hotels? Surely a 52 seater coach with one driver is cheaper than a fully fitted out border force patrol boat?

Why do you always resort to immaturity?

They are picked up

A) because it stops them arriving on our shores and possibly disappearing

B) because it avoids the risk of a migrant boat sinking which would then endanger the lives of both migrants and British border force.



I realise that is too complex for you, so,I suggest you just wave some flags, you can cope with that. Just.

 

[yorksbuilder]

The boats would arrive here anyway if they weren’t picked up.

Not all of them

 

[Mottie]

Why would they disappear - these good, upstanding, law abiding, hard working people come here fleeing persecution and to claim asylum, haven’t they? They can’t do that if they disappear.

B) because it avoids the risk of a migrant boat sinking which would then endanger the lives of both migrants and British border force.

But you said:

The boats would arrive here anyway if they weren’t picked up.

Make yer mind up, wishy washy.

 

[Mottie]

The boats would arrive here anyway if they weren’t picked up.

Not all of them

That’s the chance they take for leaving a safe country. France is a safe country, isn’t it?

 

[Mottie]

He's certainly not dissuading them.

100%. They have no reason for leaving France, other than economic, to come and sponge off the UK. If no rescues were made, some boats would sink, word will get round, numbers will drop. As long as the pickups continue, numbers will keep rising, its an easy ride for them

Yorksbuilder claims to be a Christian

Yorksbuilder supports the drowning of asylum seekers

 

[yorksbuilder]

Never said that i support the drowning of anyone. Stop putting words in other peoples mouths. Any death is a tragedy. If the economic migrants want to avoid the risk of drowning, they can stay in France, it's a safe country

 

[Notch7]

He's certainly not dissuading them.

UK has no jurisdiction over what people leave French coast

UK has no jurisdiction over what people enter mainland Europe from North Africa

but Mottie says its all Starmers fault.

Mottie never said it was the Conservatives fault when they had over 400 asylum hotels and 8,600 arriving in one month.............but then Mottie voted for Conservative so he wouldnt

 

[Notch7]

Do you support border force picking up migrants in small boats to protect them from drowning

or not?

If the economic migrants want to avoid the risk of drowning, they can stay in France, it's a safe country

not relevant

border force deal with boats in the channel,
