One minute you suggest that the boats are custom made, or adapted, then you claim that they're designed for that amount of passengers.
He could raise the money for his passage, but he couldn't raise the money for his father's medical treatment?On a different point I actually feel sorry for this illegal imigrant
Albanian migrant: 'I wish I'd never tried to enter the UK illegally'
Artan tells the BBC he spent thousands crossing the English Channel, only to be deported back to Albania.www.bbc.co.uk
He was honest and it didn't work out too well for him.
But we need immigration.
How did he expect to find work in UK without a visa? And why did he not think that the same could apply in the EU?
or we can wonder why he didn't use the money for his father's treatment in the first place and save himself a wasted trip...
Re Government uses it's propaganda arm because our legal systems have become the Pitts and cannot be taken on.
Fine but a smuggler isn't going to be bothered about that. They will also want their money before the actual crossing if they are involved earlier in the trip here. You seem to be trying to blame the French to me. They have their own asylum seekers. What to do with ours? All EU countries have their arrivals. The channel means ours collect in France. Then comes the convention that all follow even us. Say all scrap the convention. That needn't prevent arrivals. What to do with them and who pays? Can Rwanda take 1,000's. I very much doubt it. The posh accommodation shown would soon fill up. It could be a place to send rejects. Depends on the numbers.
Things appear to have improved in a number of areas but not jobs or salaries.
When I attempted to drive all the way to Greece advice was to stay out of the place as it was too dangerous. Tito's communism though was pretty impressive. That was in the 70's, I'm sure I we were followed and even stopped at times by some form of security people. The youth hostel was the best I have ever stayed in. A caravan holiday park complete with decent food. Some German ones left by Hitler were also pretty good. Austria less so.Some numbers have been mentioned on the news recently relating to the overload. If you look these and others will be around somewhere or the other. However a more significant problem is likely to be true asylum seekers. What to do with them. I mentioned women and kids as they do arrive as well.

it proves the opposite, the men are the ones prepared to take the risks
Of dodging a bullet, both physically and metaphorically I see you left off.
He was no doubt suckered in by claims of a land of milk and honey and a country keen to welcome him, feed him, house him and give him money for free. He probably didn't understand that he'd have to falsely claim asylum and opted to be honest to people who had initially treated him well.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to add up 450-600mm (avg width of a human adult) x 15-16 x 2 (the configuration) Plus another 800-1200 for the bow and the same again for the stern pontoon sections abaft the transom (where the motor sits) and we have minimum dimensions of 8M.One minute you suggest that the boats are custom made, or adapted, then you claim that they're designed for that amount of passengers.
Now you claim to know the exact specification of these boats. Talk of making it up as you go along. It fits exactly.
But at the end of the day, your arguments are aimed at the "skipper" or the "master" of these boats, There is no skipper or master so your arguments are invalid.
