Come a no-deal Brexit, we will no longer be party to the Dublin Agreement so wouldn't be able to do this.

Wonder when the boats will start going in the other direction and the French will have to defend their borders from post Brexit Brits ? ;)

No excuse for assault.

On the other hand, as the pro-Brexit campaign was founded on the idea of taking back control and engaging those who felt disconnected and disenfranchised by our politics, it’s probably not surprising that those who took to the streets today aren’t as au fait with the normal rules of planning a demo as the usual lefty rent-a-mob.

Pretty sure most people know that assaulting police isn’t part of the normal rules of a demo (be they lefties or righties)...

Into an EU wide perspective. I'm not sure I'd describe the current situation as floodgates.

"hordes"

First, we dehumanise "them", then it doesn’t matter what happens to "them"...

Most asylum seekers come in by lorry as it's safer. Sajid Javid's emphasis on boats is just to position himself as a man of action for when Theresa May steps down.

Despite the efforts of some to get to the UK, we had just 5% of the 650,000 asylum applications in 2017. By contrast, 30% were in Germany, 20% per cent in Italy and 14% in France. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/as...visualisations

There will be no more posts in this thread about Brexit. One thread on the subject is enough.

Yep there was one caller to a radio phone in who when asked the question about boats carrying children to England his answer was they should be allowed to sink in the English channel.:(

Just a symptom of the nastiness in society that seems to have taken over since 2016.

Re: Illegal migrants crossing the Channel.
 

Those are just cranks that phone into radio stations, you've always had those nutters. 99%+ of people would not want or let children drown even if they support zero immigration. Anyone who does is almost certainly sick in the head.
