Because it ended 70 years ago! You really think the failure of Germany to invade Britain in 1940 offers useful information on how to deal with mass migration in 2015?

Crossing the Channel is a completely different proposition from crossing the Med.
If you are talking about commercial boats and trains, all the Government has to do is make the appropriate companies pay the cost for any 'returnees'. They would then have to satisfy themselves that all their passengers were entitled to cross before boarding!

If it were this easy then we wouldn't have felt the need to negotiate this treaty in France in the first place. The cost of sending them back isn't the main concern or expense in processing these applications. It is much easier from Britain's point of view for them to never arrive on British soil and hence this treaty works for us and winding up the French helps no one.
