Boat illegals up under Labour.

[ReganAndCarter]

makes no difference to the numbers

Not a good look though for successive governments who 'promise' to get tough but take part in regular handovers of migrants from ecorting French authorities' vessels. Plenty of videos out there of this going on.

10,000 less in 2024 compared to 2022
So less under Labour than Tories


What’s the weather been like? A = very mild no wind.


U K. govt has FA influence over people leaving French coast in small boats.
It has everything to do with the numbers flowing across Europe and the ability of the smuggling gangs to arrange the boats.


And in any case the numbers that have come here this year are way lower than 2022 under Conservatives (which was nothing to do with them)

It would make FA difference whether Reform was in power, Cons or Labour.

Notch pretends 2023 didn’t exist.

The conservatives took action, the numbers fell, labour cancelled it and they rose again.

mild weather? We’ve had weeks of storm force and gale force winds.

You might find it hard to believe, but some people care about others and their plight. Fellow human beings deserve to be treated with respect.

It may have escaped your notice but
they are setting off from France

Afaik France is an independent country last time I looked ??

Doesn't make it their fault

Which begins, with looking after your own first, not last!

I don't know what that is supposed to mean.

We deal with things as they arise. There is no easy answer to the boat people, if there was it would have been sorted a long time ago.

If they were leaving our shores to go elsewhere you would drag them back and say it's our fault ?

We deal with our own homeless first, the ex-service men and women, the homeless, those having to rough sleep - first. How about putting them in hotels, with three squares per day?

If it’s illegal yes

The UK unlike the scoundrels over the channel are a responsible country

Nonsense. They're not fleeing danger and opression from France, are they? You're allowing yourself to be hoodwinked while French and UK 'authorities' collude with each other. Why can't they go back to France rather than Border Force taking them to their intended destination? Giving them what they want?

I'm sure they'd spring in to life if the illegal's were turned back at the territorial limit.

The French blame us for making their life to easy so that we are a target. They believe we are encouraging the traffickers.

 

[denso13]

They're not fleeing danger and opression from France, are they?

Irrelevant. You are aware that the vast majority of boat people are allowed to stay because they have valid claims? They are genuine refugees.

And do what with people who arrive by boat?
