To all those that welcome/encourage the small boat migrants.

Course there will. They are risking their lives anyway, the threat of detention means nothing.
Lets try it and find out. And I wonder how much of a risk they are being told the journey is - the facts say its not that big a risk because we go and collect them from half way.
 
I think I mentioned this previously, maybe in another thread.

Who do we have to thank for this complete mess? Governments across the globe. 'Leaders' across the globe. A complete and utter lack of any sort of robust forward planning and now, complete lack of robust strategy to deal with it.

They are the ones to blame, not the individuals in the boats.

Complete and utter sh1t show.
 
No. I am saying anyone we let in knowing absolutely nothing about has the potential.
Based on your theory, that applies to every migrant that comes to the UK.
You'd need to stop every foreigner setting foot in our great land, tourists and all. The UK economy would take a massive hit and crime in the UK would not. It would likely increase.

Yeah, great idea Mottie. As Mayor of Jaywick, your wages are now officially cut 600%.
 
They haven’t been asked

I have great faith in the British people. We are ready for tougher measures. But I am certain that letting people drown will be a step too far. And I believe it would be a step too far for you.

For someone that goes abroad a lot, you don’t seem to know much about the point of passport control. Try to go to the USA for example with a criminal conviction for possessing a bit of puff.
 
Then take them elsewhere to drown..
Come on now Harry, surely you don't really mean that, do you?

I'm all for much tighter controls as my previous posts in various threads suggest.

However, I'd never advocate these people being left to drown.

I'm sure there used to be someone on here who used to suggest having snipers along our beaches. Equally disgusting.
 
Would it not be better to stop them leaving France than having to find solutions once they are here?
Yeah, but the Italians won’t stop them going to France and the French won't stop them coming to the U.K. so we have to have our own deterrent and not be reliant upon our European 'friends'.

Works both ways.

Harris English's caddy was refused a visa for the Open (Golf) last week, due to a conviction for dealing coke 30 yrs ago.

As his player finished runner-up, Larson missed out on a six-figure sum (he'd be on a fee plus percentage of winnings).

Should have gone over in a dinghy with no papers, he would have got in even if he was an Eritrean warlord.
