That might be the case if they weren't paying but should imagine they don't lack for punters who'll jump at the chance to get on board.

Dont worry.That might be the case if they weren't paying but should imagine they don't lack for punters who'll jump at the chance to get on board.
It's a market created by the system that insists asylum seekers must arrive, by any means possible, in order to claim asylum.No, in my book its a criminal act and they should be prosecuted. Not sure we have any jurisdiction over what happens in France though ?
Extreme violence does not work. It merely exposes the inhumanity of the perpetrators.If only people would take action instead of talk. ...
Mob rule works.
That shows how desperate they are to try and improve their lives. And they won't do that by relying on state handouts.The context was - before we blame others for letting them die, we should remember they chose to leave a safe country on a vessel unfit for the passage.
...
Is it a case of the ends justify the means, so put up and shut up?
Not if it's a case of the Government intentionally manipulating the system and accommodation failures to create and intensify anti-refugee sentiment.
That's blatant manipulation of the electorate, very Trumpesque style.
There isn't plenty of material of asylum seekers running into bushes, etc."Not" to what?
What manipulation?
How would ballsing up accomm intensify antipathy towards refugees? If they wanted that there's plenty of immediate material, on those running into the bushes, or appearing on the prison lists.
UK voluntarily signed up to the UNHCR. But back then it wanted to show the world it was a civilised developed country.No matter what the weather we make it our duty to pick our clientele up to house them in the finest hotels, to keep our shareholders happy.
Unbelievable Jeff.

Do these people train, practice and put many hours of prep in?How come - they made it. Some people swim across now and again.
Here's one for you. Blair and co clearly got it under control quickly LOL these things end when countries settle down

that I agree with.It's a market created by the system that insists asylum seekers must arrive, by any means possible, in order to claim asylum.
If the same amount of effort was put into removing and preventing the need for such a market, as is put into the propaganda trying to stop refugees crossing, blaming asylum seekers, and the criminals, there would be a safe and legal alternative to crossing the channel in dinghies.
A £4.4b jack off several trades plc with ~5.2% profit. Employs over 50,000 people.

So as I have mentioned before the Tory backed the move as well. I don't think Iraq figured in that graph I posted. Many people wonder what that one was really about. He's already attacked another country and that may well be a clue.A problem possibly caused by the UK participating in such conflicts under his watch. The hunt for WMD resulted in 100s and 1000s of deaths and millions of displaced people.
This is where you using a law knocked up in 1951 is so out of date in 2022.A £4.4b jack off several trades plc with ~5.2% profit. Employs over 50,000 people. Has acquired a swiss immigration company with a turn over of £97m for £39m, I assume the £39m consideration means that.
One refugee who got here and was admitted described his trip. It included a flight and food at times. It wont have been a normal commercial flight and only part of the trip. Other transport used as well. Seems all do not walk amazing distances and it's highly organised.

Indeed, many people smugglers are not operating out of Calais. The transport from place to place, in stages, is well organised in advance.One refugee who got here and was admitted described his trip.

There are as many reports of Europe-wide smugglers gangs, including some in the UK. As I said, I suspect those arrested in Calais, and the proximity are just the 'taxi drivers'.That isn't true based on the under cover reporter findings. Quite a few under cover reporters have exposed the networks linking the smugglers to customers. These are serious gangsters operating in Calais and wider France. Calais is a nasty place when I cross with a vehicle I tend to opt for Dieppe now despite the extra journey time. I feel sorry for the people who live there. The local authorities seem to think the answer is to move them on the UK asap, but that just encourages more to come.

I wanted to understand the gangs that smuggle refugees into the U.K., so I infiltrated one. For months, I pretended to be an economic migrant from Pakistan stuck in France. I wanted to understand how gangs managed to move refugees and migrants across the sea from Calais to Dover.newlinesmag.com
With Italy set to take a tougher stance - it may be a little harder.
People traffickers have concocted a ‘slick’ Europe-wide racket to smuggle migrants in small dinghies across the Channel to the UK, according to a National Crime Agency boss.
Director of threat leadership Chris Farrimond was talking after dozens of arrests – including six men and a woman in London – in what is believed to be the biggest ever international operation targeting criminal gangs suspected of people smuggling.
