| Dear me on 23:51 - Aug 10 by majorraglan | The point you make about the overall numbers is valid, but it’s pretty much always been that way. The headline overarching figure is the figure which is used to calculate the net figure. My comments were made in respect of the arrivals figure and I should have made that more clear. 👍 |
We have to recognise how hard it is to deport people to countries, who for whatever reason, we don't have a returns agreement with. And that is unlikely to change whatever the colour govenment and whoever is in charge, despite what Farage and Lowe claim, and irrespective of ECHR status. The top 5 countries for small boat arrival nationalities are Eritrea, Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia and Sudan. We have a legacy arrangement for returns with Somalia but they are uncopoerative, but none of the other countries. Once they're here, we're stuck with them. Germany negotiated an agreement with Afghanistan via Qatar, it failed spectaculalry with less than a dinghy full being sent back. Iran aren't going to do us any favours for obvious reasons. The other countries can't sort out their own problems, any deal would cost us millions and probably fail. We have to sort immigration, the misinformation around it is tearing the country apart. But there are thousands of people (mainly men) on the shores of France thinking they can come here and earn decent money. And when compared to where they come from they can, they aren't coming to live four to a room in a crap hotel and get £50 a week, they get that across the rest of Europe. As i've said before if you have a problem with small boat arrivals, don't use car washes, vape shops, turkish barbers, delivery services etc. The customers of these places are facilitating the problem. The current government are doing a decent job in limiting arrivals. Everyone else needs to do their bit too. |  | |  |

As much as I want to argue with you and scream “send them back” you are absolutely right in its current form returns are impossible. Made worse by the fact that passports are disposed of on the way. So, we have to look at other ways. Possibly more draconian measures to stop them getting here in the first place and returning them to where they came from last I.e. France. That may involve the Riyal Navy or Coastguard stopping them at the midway point under threat of fire and towing them BACK not here. It’s come to a point that this is more of an invasion now exacerbated by the fact that the people coming are all fighting age men. We are holding up a white flag with ‘Welcome’ written on it. It’s gone beyond what we can take. If it’s going to take investment in infrastructure to do it then it will be money well spent. But stop them we must and then move on to finding a way to remove those that are here illegally. No one said it’s going to be easy but someone has to take it by the scruff of the neck, ignore the woke agendas and get it done. |  |

Morning As I keep saying , it’s a problem , our biggest because completely unknown men are flocking g into our country with a wholely different outlook on life All governments have no had the guts to face this The liberal wings like plaid and Green can be dismissed as they are lunatics and Labour needs to fix the insouciance of Tories Teresa May was more concerned with sharing police officers than sorting out this issue All of them afraid to be seen as inhumane when there nothing more inhumane than seeing babies chucked about in a large dinghy in open water That’s why they shouldn’t even start the journey France is beyond contempt no surprise there |  |

They deported people to countries they had already annexed. Or terrified them to the threat of death so they fled of their own accord. I don’t think we need to be that extreme. Just stop them from coming here in the first place. Blockade the channel with the navy and escort them back to France. If the French don’t like it, tough. |  |

Draconian measures won't work either, France will not tolerate the Royal Navy threatening to use live ammunition off their coast and once they've left their territorial waters they don't want them back. If the French navy wanted to drag dinghies back to the UK or shoot at them off the coast of Dover we wouldn't tolerate it. |  | |  |

Whether France want them back or not is tough. That’s where they’ve come from. It may take time and seem futile at first as they’ll come again and again but if they don’t get through they will eventually give up. If the will is there by our government it can happen. No one said it would be easy. |  |

It's not tough, it's up to France. Unless we're prepared for the consequences, which would be disastrous. Very few people realise how hard this problem is to deal with. [Post edited 11 Aug 11:31]

On the surface it’s a great idea but they’ll turn to crime to survive until they can get illegal jobs here and by then would have vanished into the system. They shouldn’t be here at all and I don’t personally care about the consequences. We’ve been too soft for too long. As far as I am aware, you can return them to the country they came from which is France. Send them there, it’s their problem. Time to get ruthless. |  |
