Reform lead the polls

Hell if I were a French far right party and the British government started invading our waters and dumping people on our beaches I'd probably start crowd funding rubber boats for donation.

you do understand that is exactly what is happening

French do nothing to stop them
French NGOs facilitate their departure and call us to let us know they are coming.

And we pay 1/2 a billion for the “help”

He doesn’t want to know because he is told that they are all "refugees" and he believes it.
He is fine for now as the effects have not yet reached his little village that has not been "paying its way" as Burnham has said so lets wait and see him change his tune once Andy starts filling his village with them
You only have to look the little quaint village of Piddington - the lefties voted for a lib-dem council and now they are reaping their virtue signalling rewards and they dont like it "up em"

truthless waffle

Read me.
French departures prevented....22,476

"...This builds on joint work that has stopped over 44,000 attempted crossings since the election...." (includes Belgium etc)

Two thirds - not a bad effort.

He does now. See above.

What!? MBK has fallen for the paranoid drivel of the far right? No, I can't believe it.

Rinse and repeat mode. Hands over eyes, ears time.

Forgot to add - numbers are 43% down on the same time period last year too.

60% up on the previous year

We have the same coming now as we did during the Tories last full year

"the latest data released by French authorities."

well that killed that "fact"

telling people to come back tomorrow, is not preventing them

 

[noseall]

more fact free waffle

Ok Einstein, what happens to the people they "prevented"?

 

[noseall]

people they "prevented"?

22’000 odd boats stopped from the French alone. Don’t look at the links I posted above, it’ll put you into a deeper funk than when Bernie Ecclescake had to pay what he owed.

43% Down on the same period last year.

you clearly didn't read them...

22,000 odd boats

see table 3.1 in your own link. Do you need help adding them up? Poor Nosenout, gets it wrong again.

again:

what happens to the people they "prevented"?

Is it:

A) they try again until they succeed.
B) they claim asylum in France
C) they decide it wasn't worth the bother and go home.

Do you need a hint.

22,000 boats stopped so that's great then I suppose all of those people dont try again and just go home then.

 

[noseall]

22,000 boats stopped

Almost correct. I believe the actual figure is slightly higher.

French police reportedly made their first interception under the new policy in
January 2026.86 In late April, the UK Government said French authorities had
stopped six taxi boats in the last two months, “returning all migrants to
France and sentencing five smugglers to prison and deportation”.87 The April
2026 UK-France funding agreement will provide funding for a new vessel and
more than 20 additional maritime officersto support this approach.

What's this? The government is actually doing what Reform propose, except in collaboration with France at a much lower cost and risk to life? All without needing to shred our laws or violate French sovereignty.

These massive boats are being made somewhere - those factories need to be targeted. And the supply of outboard engines, where are they coming from. Or do we send them back for re-use.
