Don't be ridiculous.

I'm not. I'm making the point that "stopping the boats" is absolute boll@x, so stop fixating on it.

meanwhile the boats keep on coming.

(Making the point by illustration: it is demonstrably possible to swim across, so it is orders of magnitude easier to do it by boat.)

You can no more "stop the boats", than you can stop the Sun rising.

Rubbish.

 

[Brigadier]

Rubbish.

We'll have to disagree then.


OOI though, how exactly would you propose we "stop the boats"?

All of them.


Over to you.......

225 for 3 at tea India, they can play a bit.

No one beats India over 5 tests in India.

We done well in the first test.

I believe you're trying to justify your subversive racism with a story of fighting fires caused by climate change - do you think migration has nothing to do with that?

My racism isn't hatred and it's not aimed at good decent people. It's aimed at undesirables. I have the same disdane for white English fùckers who don't know how to play to the rules of cricket.

If we had thrown a very significant wad of cash at this issue over past years to present day, we wouldn't now be in this situation, or at least not to the same extent.

Many more patrol boats constantly monitoring our sea border.
Exploit drone technology to monitor sea border to assist aforementioned patrol boats.
Migrants in small boats picked up.
Migrants taken to purpose built (clean, safe, heated etc) camps until reviewed by visa/immigration.
Migrants processed quickly by the dozens upon dozens of additional visa/immigration staff that should have been in place.

Of course it's not as straightforward as this for a number of reasons (appeals, do-gooders, the French quite happy to see them off their shores etc) however there is no doubt in my mind the UK could have been doing much more about this, yes at significant financial cost, however it could have been done.

Criminals are criminals tome

I don't differentiate by anything other than actions

I think you do.

We talk about a foreign criminals you call us racist.
If someone dies while involved with the police you call the police racist if that person isn't indigenous white.

Well there is a start - your racism.

 

[Deleted member 294929]

The conclusion would appear to be an overwhelming majority of crimes committed by white males.
Who'da thunk it.

Are you saying white people commit crime?

 

[Deleted member 294929]

Well there is a start - your racism.

I don't like foreign criminals, that said I don't like English criminals.

You don't like rent boys, I've had no dealings with rent boys so I have no problem with them.

Migrants in small boats picked up.

So when you said "stop the boats", you didn't actually mean "stop the boats".

You meant "process the claimants".




"Stop the boats" is not practical, is it?

 

[Deleted member 294929]

Show me the evidence!

 

[diy_fun_uk]

"Stop the boats" is not practical, is it?

Yes, if we had decent collaboration from/with the French, which of course we don't.

And if we had my aforementioned process fully in place, I suspect the number of boats would decrease, perhaps significantly so, once it was realised it's not a virtual free for all.

 

[motorbiking]

"Deter the boats" doesn't have the same ring to it.

Advanced Radar is being used to track boats and drones are being used to identify the skippers who then get arrested.

The best way to stop the boats is to pray to the wind god. Nobody wants to set off in 2.5M waves with 25kts of icy wind in their face.

But back on topic. Had this nasty piece of work, come in under current law - he would not have been granted asylum.
