I can see it now all over the middle east and north africa **** showing puctures of the wall telling people it's there because life is so good on the other side and the evil westerner's don't want to share. I'd rather an increase in border staff and instead of illegals found at the ports being sent to costly detention centres we put them on the first ferry back to the mainland cut out the bogus asylum claims save a fortune on the detention centres and the administrative side of all the asylum claims.
Of course that needs a government that is prepared to put two fingers up to the civil rights brigade and actually implement it, i won't hold my breath.

We don't have a fanatical right-wing government but it's the citizenry and the 'civil rights brigade' what will help ensure we never do. As a wider point it's also a good idea never to give the government powers which a fanatical authoritarian, left or right, government would find useful.

I think a bigger threat to the problem continuing is people getting on trucks at service stations further down the motorway.
