Ssssssshhhhhh, don't mention Reform.

He does that. Often.

UNCLOS 19g

 

[Notch7]

We don't need them.
By the time they got round to patrolling our patrols mid channel, or somewhere else, it would all be over, in another place..

If a British Border force boat tried docking in a French port with a load of migrants, I suspect they might spot it

 

[Notch7]

If you get it and need any help, I will put my military expertise at your services.

Your imaginary one.

 

[Highway Man]

Your imaginary one.

My military service is not your concern. You are just one of those horrible people that are simply ungrateful to what others have done on your behalf that you are not man enough to do yourself. A big gob that is irrelevant to what you think or say.

 

[Highway Man]

I would be happy retaining £500k per year, allocating the other £500k (to be split accordingly) to anyone happy to assist on a sub-contractor basis.

I got an out of office from Keir, he's currently planning another task force, so it could be Monday before I hear anything. Rayner asked if she could be of any assistance but I declined.

yes keep her out of it. This is work for people that know what they are doing and not frightened to undertake the task in hand.

 

[pete01]

WRONG

any pushbacks on that boat totally overloaded with people would result in distress

Are they distressed when they set off?

 

[diy_fun_uk]

Your imaginary one.

Jokes aside, we certainly couldn't do any worse.

UNCLOS 19g

View attachment 384208

Yes we’ve seen it dozens of times. It in fact defines the illegals passage as not innocent. U.K. has power to take the necessary steps to prevent passage that is not innocent in its territorial waters.

Nothing prevents them from doing this before they arrive.

All the time the illegal boat has the intention of entering U.K. territorial waters illegally, the necessary steps can be taken.

Nonsense.

Why has NO UK Government, of any colour, done so then, if it is that simple?

Shouting "Go back", putting up "no entry" signs doesn't work either.

Combined consultation and co-operation with others is the best (probably only) way forward. But we decided that going it alone was the answer, and it wasn't.

 

[motorbiking]

Nonsense.

No it really does. Clause (g)

Political will. It’s not a legal matter it’s a political one.

 

[Notch7]

U.K. has power to take the necessary steps to prevent passage that is not innocent in its territorial waters.

But you’ve been arguing the pushbacks and turn arounds are happening in French water.

Once in British waters a migrant boat can say it’s in distress.

 

[Notch7]

No it really does. Clause (g)

Applies to Border Force boats too

And it’s not possible to push back boats from U.K. waters in French waters without entering French waters

Next sentence. Stop selective quoting.
