Migrants crossing the channel. What could/should be done?

OK. Let the Royal Navy patrol our waters and the international shipping lanes. Once one of these migrant boats is sighted, as soon as it leaves French waters, the Royal Navy fires a shot across it bows and orders it to turn back. If it refuses, and continues towards the UK, then it is sunk immediately before entering UK waters. The French (who seem to be shadowing these boats until they get into British waters) can pick up any survivors. This will send a clear message that that Britain does not welcome illegal immigrants.

Whats unkind about sending them back to france?
You are an idiot.
Shame you can't understand anything, quite ironic you call me an idiot.
It's the part about sinking the ship and not caring if anyone drowns, obvs.

They are entering here illegally you idiot,
What a country we could have if you fools were not here..
 
I remember as a child, being driven into Slough and seeing the sign 'Welcome to Slough - Safety Town' , beneath that 'Population 86,000'.
The last two digits had removable boards, like the scoreboards at cricket grounds, so you could drive past a week later and the population would read 86,002.
By the time I could drive, the sign had been amended to 'Welcome to Slough - Anti Nuclear Town' 'population 87,000'.
In my 40's, I'd assumed the population had doubled simply because of the Asian influx and the number of new houses built, the existing Indian population had expanded, great people, I grew up with them but it was the Pakistani population that went through the roof. The latter were converting garages in their gardens to accommodate family.
In my last few years there the Council were issuing 12,000 new NI numbers per year, deduct a few hundred school leavers from that figure and the balance was entirely Polish workers.
Aside from multi occupancy rentals where Polish workers were sleeping in shifts, often on kitchen worktops to cope with the numbers (illegally) in one house, the Pakistani community were engaged in a building boom putting up garages in gardens that could accommodate half a dozen poles.
A lot of people complained to the council and there were a number of newspaper articles (can't remember if it was the Guardian or the Mail) about 'Ghetto towns' within Slough, there were literally areas that resembled African townships, The complaints fell on deaf ears because many of the MO and illegal dwellings were owned by councillors.

When I left Slough, having lived there 50 years, I know for a fact the population had more than doubled from my formative years, I suspect that in reality it had trebled. When I read that the official population was 130,000 I thought, F**k off!.

OK, but what is the point of a border then?
Ok, it's got nothing to do with borders. It's about shooting their ship so they drown.

Heck, are we no longer civilised? Obvs not. I don't believe in murder, not apologising for that.
 
No its not.
Yes it is.

No, the poster said sink the boat, and let the French navy (who are shadowing them) pick them up.

You're doing a "Himmy"......
No am not.
The Navy shoots the boat in French waters (probably illegal) and the French pick up any survivors.

No its not.
Its about using a firm hand to turn them back.
No one wants fatalities.
That's better.
 
and the French pick up any survivors

That would send a good strong message to the frogs.
Any fatalities would be the frogs responsibility. For escorting them to our waters.
Fools like you around in ww2 would have lost us the war.
