  5. Oh, behold! The fearless knight,
    Sir Keir of Smashin’, so bold, so right!
    “I’ll smash the gangs, I’ll end this fight!”
    And yet… somehow… the boats still arrive each night.

    Oh no, no, he had bigger foes,
    Not the smugglers—nah, let them go!
    The real villains? Well, step right up!
    It’s the British public—yep, you’re corrupt!

    Karen from Kent, that dangerous shrew,
    Had the audacity to ask, “Keir, is this true?”
    Dave from Doncaster? An absolute fiend!
    Typed, “This ain’t workin’,” and BAM—he’s cleaned!

    The gangs keep raking in cash by the load,
    Keir? Too busy policing the postcode.
    Forget stopping boats, that’s all just fluff—
    Time to crack down on people who’ve had enough!

    Oh, you thought he’d fight crime? That’s so quaint!
    He’s far too busy banning complaints.
    “If you don’t like it, well, that’s just tough—
    I’ll smash YOU instead, ’cause whining’s enough!”

    So watch your words, don’t misbehave,
    Or next on his list? Might just be Dave.
    Not the smugglers, not the crooks—
    Just YOU, for daring to give him dirty looks.

  7. We all knew Starmer was talking crap and this is no surprise.

  8. I mean, you can’t blame the people in the boats, who wouldn’t come from the third world and get a house etc. the only issue is the government turning our country into a cess pit. The gravy train will only last so long until the money runs out.

  9. Did anyone genuinely believe “smash the gangs” was really a thing? It’s a multi-headed hydra. There is too much profit in it. Reduce the incentives by deporting fast and making it harder to get permission to stay or nothing changes. It might have been badly executed but Rwanda was the right idea – people won’t pay to come if they get shipped straight out again instead of being put in a hotel for the next seven years.

  10. What exactly can be done? It feels like they’re doing precisely NOTHING to stop these invaders. It’s mind boggling. This has to change, urgently.

  11. I’ll never understand why people keep banging on and on about small boats. When ‘legal’ migration is through the roof.

  12. That’s Nottingham Forests football stadium full of migrants.

  13. Down from >70K per year under the previous government, no?

  14. Do they honestly think anyone in the UK doesn’t know for a fact that we can see where the boats are leaving from on the French coast? Or when they are entering UK waters? That they couldn’t be intercepted and turned around? Utter rubbish. The boats come, we know where from, we know by whom, they know it all. And they let them come. 

  15. What’s the point in even talking about it anymore? No one seems to be allowed to stop it, and no one wants to take any measures to even curb it, so it’ll continue ad nauseum.

  18. Yes, but before Brexit, Not One Migrant Crossed the English Channel In A Small Boat. This is All Brexit’s Doing. When we was part of the EU, French border forces would try to stop anyone try to enter Britain Illegally, but now we are not part of the EU, they are not obligated too do so, ie it’s not their problem.

  19. Here come the “but what about Tories” commenters even though this has nothing to do with the Tory wetwipes.

  21. Only thing he’s smashed is Lord Alli’s chocolate starfish.
