Quick question(s):
The UK boats that 'rescue' these plucky migrants from the dangers of crossing the English Channel in an unsafe manner . . do they intercept them only when they enter UK waters?
Does anyone have a link to an article where French boats intercept these same migrants in French waters and take them back to France?
@ Andrew, Hugh and others:
My suggestion of sinking a few boats to discourage others got the reaction I expected . . everyone is up in arms declaring 'good lord man, we can't do that, it's simply not cricket', . . it was as feasible a suggestion as any of the other policies that still don't work, in other words, we can't do a thing about migrants in boats can we.
Notice a few posts later I hinted at we may as well give them free rail fare? Let's go down that route instead then, everyone chips in £20 a week to ensure these poor poor people receive a ticket on trains or ferries to the UK, that way they won't be in any danger, the French will love us (well maybe not) and we will all feel satisfied that we've done our part in saving lives.
Yes, in retrospect I think that's the way to go, free travel to the UK for those who want it . . . and let's not stop there, we could fly them in from Belarus, Hungary, Italy, Greece, Spain to save them all that hardship and danger on their long trek to the French coast, fancy that eh, the UK being the saviour of mankind
