Of course it is but it’s not just the option to return them to France. Before Brexit they could settle in Europe for a few years then come to the UK legally. I’m sure during that time quite a few probably decided to just stay in Europe after building a life. That’s no longer an option so those wanting to come to the UK now come straight to the UK.

The Tories knew it at the time, yet they ignored it for the sole ideological reason of backing Boris and his hard Brexit deal.

They cross the channel from France, so they are blaming someone who doesn’t even share a land border with them for problems caused due to a lack of France’s own control of their beaches?

Stop making phoney excuses. Our own government is to blame. Stop them in the channel and turn them around. If they make it here, detain and deport. It’ll stop in no time.

Yes, Brexit is the reason why French police are standing on the beaches callously watching disastrously overloaded dinghies sail off to their deaths.

The trouble is, we keep paying France to help out. When it doesn’t work, we pay them more. We’re throwing more and more money at them to do a bad job! Where’s the incentive to improve? How about fishing rights in exchange for stopping the boats?!

The French will blame brexit for the anything that is their own doing.
Battle of Waterloo? We lost that due to brexit.

Well it’s important they respect the will of the people isn’t it or what’s the world coming to?

Brexit is partly to do with it but it’s not the sole reason

Before Brexit under the EU the UK could return migrants to the European country they originally came from or entered first, now that arrangement no longer exists. So Brexit is a problem with migration and we were all lied to that Brexit would cure all our problems, it just created more.

Yea it’s our fault you didn’t hold up your end of agreement which we paid for. Strip them of their fishing rights then they will act

Could you imagine still thinking Brexit was a good idea 😂.
Extricating ourselves from all the agreements where we could return these people created the market for them to come in the way they do. It simply wasn’t worth it before Brexit, but hey ho they “knew what they were voting for” so they knew this would happen. Seems odd to be upset at getting what you asked for.
