More deaths in the channel.

[Mottie]

And more deaths again today.

When did Kier say he was setting up something to stop this? Going to "smash the gangs" wasn’t he? He'd better get cracking then - deaths in the channel seem to be getting more frequent since Labour have been in charge - it’s as if they’ve made the U.K. a migrant magnet.

Eight dead after Channel migrant crossing - French officials

Officials say 50 people were on board the boat as it went down off the French coast.

I’m sure when I started this thread someone said it was the fault of the government on the very first page. Of course, it was a Conservative government then. I wonder whether they still hold that view now and hold the current Labour government guilty for the last few batches of deaths?

Yawn.
So many holes in that post there is no point in commenting.

How's your application to become a Reform candidate going, Mottie?

deaths in the channel seem to be getting more frequent since

...Brexit.

Yes, there has been an increase in deaths related to small boat crossings in the English Channel since Brexit. The number of people attempting to cross the Channel in small boats has risen significantly in recent years, leading to more dangerous journeys and, unfortunately, more fatalities[1][1]2. For instance, in 2021, at least 27 people died in a single incident when a small boat capsized3.

The increase in crossings is partly due to stricter border controls and enforcement measures making other methods of entry less viable2. This has led to more people taking the risky route across the Channel in small boats2.

Brexit is a tory badge of shame - correct.

Lots of reports about boat and life jacket supplies being disrupted.

An unintended consequence of attacking the gangs maybe. But that's fairly quick action if so.

It's almost as though mottie cares.

But more deaths might mean less action on the gangs. It's a difficult position

About dark skinned foreigners?

The only look at the Rwanda scheme I can find. It indicate at least 10s of thousands

How many people need to be sent to Rwanda or have their asylum claim processed under the next government? - Migration Observatory

Whichever asylum policy is pursued after the July 2024 election will affect tens of thousands of people with pending claims.

What has actually been going on

People crossing the English Channel in small boats - Migration Observatory

This briefing examines the phenomenon of people crossing the English Channel in small boats.

One odd ball. Ones that have dropped their claim as they have lost contact with the home office. They could be anywhere.

Any signs of deportations? I haven't found any but Labour managed a few recently.

The human rights people. Must establish safe routes. If too easy far too many would arrive. Much the same for any European country. It could turn into millions in the extreme.

Starmer - talks with other countries appear to have started.

This latest boat failed to launch properly and broke up on rocks, Sort of thing that might happen if the engine isn't powerful enough. Make that too high and guess what - the boat will break up.

Doubt he could crush a grape.

You've nothing to worry about then, have you?

It is very sad, but the draw to our country is great, the Rwandan scheme should never have been scrapped, if it had got up and running, many of these crossings would not be attempted.

Labour needs to make up its mind - either give them ferry tickets, or take them immediately back to france.

Another load of rubbish

Rwanda was a very expensive waste that was never going to work. Think of the numbers involved, people and cost.

It's not possible to just take them back to France, or I'm sure the Tories would have done that.

It needs adult attention. Not slogans. We've had a lot of slogans, none of them achieved anything

Germans are clamping down

They have had enough of the merkel experiment ?

Scoundrels Across the channel are still turning a blind eye ?

Don't worry about others, we have control of our borders
