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

Do we have good, checkable intel on the Syrian, Eritrean, Afghani or any war torn countries law records on those that are allegedly fleeing persecution then?

No idea. Do you mean they shouldn't be checked?

 

[Mottie]

No idea.

Correct, so shut up with your stupid, utterly unworkable ideas on how it should be done.

What about the rest of my post?

What about it?

No answer?

Yes, that was my question. And also whether anything has changed with Brexit to make it harder for anyone trying this.

As well as checking for ID, do the airline also check for visas.

Yes. If needed.

I might have misunderstood. It was when I was asking you about how pusback might work in the Channel and whether our waters and France's joined together.

So, to go back to what Greece do. Say they are pushing back a boat from Libya. If Greece and Libyan waters touch, presumably this means they are pushing back into Libyan waters. What is the eventual outcome in these cases. Does the boat return to Libya, does the boat hang around and try again, do they drown in Libyan waters.

Most of the push back is to turkey. The distance is typically less than 10NM. Recently they have started hanging outside Libyan waters and Turing them back before they get too far. This is due to efforts by Italy.

I can see and understand what she is saying. So can many others. Some on here just can’t though. Mind you, they would if they were on their doorstep.

What a wonderful, articulate woman.
She speaks for the majority of the country, so will obviously be labelled as a far right racist.

I'll look later on a different device. That website sounds rather obscure. How did you come across it.

Denso's point yesterday was very pertinent. I see today that people are referring to this as a "swanky" four star hotel. Whereas in reality it had awful reviews which described it as being terribly run down. Now it will be stripped down to a very basic service. I wonder how many of the public understand that when they describe it as a four star hotel. It hadn't really clicked with me before.

The star rating of the hotel really isn't the point though, is it!
It is still a 100x better than a bivvy in France with nothing provided.

and still a 4 star price tag no doubt.

Was on the Daily Express website. I just copied the link.

It seems to be the point for politicians on the right who obsessively talk about it. Deliberately to inflame hostility.

The government get a big discount both for the block booking and because of the reduced service.
