I don't think you will ever. ever achieve perfection,
As i said before look at the US/Mexico border and with people coming from Guatemala & other countries, look at the amount of money that the US has thrown at countries & also thrown at technology (ours by comparison is a piffling amount) and they still cannot halt the flow.
We can pay France however much we want but ultimately if 'we' want to stop these people from making that journey then the responsibility is on 'us.' Now, how that's achieved is an entirely different kettle du poisson

Could we play that game and leave them to flounder on towards the coast . . or are we 'better' than that? |
I am the real me
had some time away from posting as i didn't like the way i was posting
To your edit, I don't see the British coastguard/navy intercepting and turning away boats? if it's that easy why are they not doing so?
I don't particularly want to play aquatic wiff-waff with innocent people's lives
