An admission like that is actually a step in the right direction.
But it can’t continue like this.
Turns out 140 years after the advent of the motorboat people started using them to arrive here.
If only we’d have had time to prepare.
I feel like this is just gaslighting by Labour so they can take a harder stance on illegal immigration.
A government saying this with a straight face is unserious.
The defence secretary speaks like it is someone else’s problem.
For once I don’t disagree with a lot written in this telegraph article. I think it’s a fair assessment of the issues we are having and sheds light on why “French police still are not intercepting them in the water despite agreeing to, which needs to change.
But can we all take a moment to laugh at the audacity of the Tories:
> The Tories described Saturday’s record crossings as a “day of shame for Labour” and said Britain had become a nation “reduced to chaos on the high seas”, with the Border Force at breaking point.
No wonder that party is broken and on the verge of death. The double standards and hypocrisy is obscene.
Yeah, Labour aren’t exactly doing great at the moment and are getting more serious. But at least they are trying things. Unlike your lot, who just made the situation worse.
Also lol at describing it as a ‘record breaking day of shame’ when in the previous 3 years they have 63 days of even bigger shame where more people crossed in a day.
Can’t we have a fence in the sea to control traffic?
France clearly dont care as are happy for these people to leave, they have no reason to stop it.
The only way to stop this is to remove incentives, otherwise it will continue forever.
Hmm. Ok so it’s the Tories and the frenchies fault. But his plan seems to be relying on the french to change how they work (or don’t as the case may be).
You want farage? This is how you get farage.
He needs to step down .
I can shorten that for you..
Britain has lost control
The focus on France is utterly facile. Of course they’re not going to stop crossings, why on earth would they?
Removing incentives is the only solution.
“Smash the gangs” what gangs? The records of gang arrivals is what is really being smashed here. It’s unsustainable
Great. First step to rectifying the issue. But this needs a real plan. Real leadership. Can we have a bit of that?
We literally just paid another country to take some of our territory out of fear someone might invade and setup camp.
We should sue France for their actions in all this. They effectively send them off to us. Endangering the lives of the immigrants who cross the channel not to mention the damage to our economy.
And the current government decides to attack tax paying high earning legal expats that support the economy instead of getting the borders under control.
Why? Because it’s easier to attack legal law abiding people than those that live undocumented. Well at least it gets the numbers down. Though the problem causing numbers stay stable ,
Starmer’s issue is he’s trying to stop Farage by calling press conferences. Obviously not going to work. However, stop the boats? You stop Farage.
The article is right but seems to be framed that we have only just now lost control. The Tories weren’t any better on that front.
Let’s see what the actual quote was:
> Truth is, Britain’s lost control of its borders over the last five years, and the last government last year left an asylum system in chaos and record levels of immigration.
I’m not sure the headline conveys the sentiment Healey’s original statement was intended to convey.
But yes – the problem of having a border in the middle of a fairly narrow bit of water that is also the busiest shipping lane in the world – it is difficult to put up border controls. As we’ve known all along, the work that needs to be done to “fix” this has to be done abroad – once people have left the French coast on boats there isn’t anything (reasonable) that can be done. And that requires the UK Government work nicely with foreign Governments – something the Conservatives were notoriously bad at.
The border control went to pot because we left the EU.
When part of the union France was bound to putting measure in place and spend money intercepting people trying to make the crossing.
After we left they have no incentive, it benefits them leaving the illegal migrants and refugees be left alone to leave their territory.
I wonder how many of the racist leave votes have come to that realisation yet?
