Ports denied request to land 120 migrants in RNLI boats
 
Ports denied request to land 120 migrants in RNLI boats

Quote:

Requests to accept the landing of RNLI boats carrying 120 migrants intercepted off the Isle of Wight were refused by both Portsmouth harbour and Southampton Port.

Associated British Ports (ABP), which operates Southampton, said it was not the closest port and it "did not have suitable reception facilities available".
May make these people think twice about taking the much longer and more dangerous 'trip' to different ports

Good to see somebody at least making a stand, although fully expecting legal bods to soon put a stop to this sort of thing.

Apparently a leaked home office reporr/ opinion is that 1% of asylum claims are genuine, Apparently immigration officials hear the same story literally thousands of times word for word, as if it's a script that's been learnt rather than lived

We could have done so but 51.9% decided to forgo this option back in June 2016. Rude to question a democratic season, I'm sure you'll agree.

You can't let it go can you, I'm sure it can't be doing you any good ;)

From official EU figures.
For 2024, Germany had a net figure of 1,236 immigrants leaving for other EU countries, out of 74,561 requests by Germany for them to be dealt with elsewhere. If we were in the EU, we would have to accept loads more. Under the EU/EEA rules for 2018, we may have been able to send 209 back to the EU, but had to accept 1,215.

Somewhat better than the numbers we get in Brexit Britain.

Just a guess, but if they aren't screaming for help in French waters, there's not a lot they can (legally) do . . apart from following them to ensure their safety . . . until it's not their concern anymore.



*that could be what we're paying them for
