'It's gone too far'

Brexit has made no difference to your average persons life. I doubt it has impacted on anyones day to day on this forum,

Even if that were true (which it so is not), you have completely, and to a staggering extent, failed to understand my post.

It was put to the public to vote on leave or stay, the vote was made and the result wasn't what you wanted. Tough but that's life.
I said it was a democratic vote put to the people who all had a chance to say yes or no. We all voted and one side won with one side losing. Only the losing side cannot accept the result and have never got over it.

A few discrumpled holiday makers is the only complaint and apart from that it is mainly about just not getting their own way and accepting that their vote to stay lost the referendum. Move on and get over it.

As I said, those people who you characterise as "only the losing side cannot accept the result and have never got over it", and "not getting their own way and accepting that their vote to stay lost the referendum", and who you think should "move on and get over it" are behaving in exactly, exactly, the way that Farage said the Leave campaign would behave if they lost by a small margin.


Do you know what a hypocrite is?
 
Hopefully Nosey has found something more credible than the article written by Professor Thom Brooks , Durham University 9rd February 2023.

Available here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4351994

It acknowledges Dublin was at best a deterrent, but provides nothing much to support the claim. Thom Brooks did quite a lot of publishing in the run up to the leave vote, to discourage leave voting.

This isn't a peer-reviewed journal article — it's a self-published "working paper"/policy report. It has no journal, no editorial board, and no external peer review. it was explicitly written as a policy intervention aimed at MPs, timed to the UK's "Stop the Boats" debate, accompanied by press outreach and a widely-shared video, and was subsequently cited in a House of Commons debate. That's a legitimate way to try to influence policy, but it's not academic research.

Stopping them from leaving is the best approach - yes (y)
Returning them to their home country is unlikely to need to involve the EU.

So nothing to do with Brexit (y). In fact you could just as easily argue that Brexit has been an effective deterrent due to the loss of EU rights
 
Small boats are because the criminal gangs will try anything to get people into the UK....fact. They tried lorries......next, parachuting!!!!

Yep - there is easy money to be had, a free boat taxi and board and lodging when you arrive.

The vote was cast, it was a fair vote and leave won. End of. Nothing more than that.

Didn't the increase in boats follow the massive security increase for lorries coming from the EU?
I also think it was to do the illegals realising that the constant line put out by the government that crossing the channel was extremely dangerous was just scaremongering. And slowly they began to realise it.
