  1. Crikey, imagine how high the numbers would have been if we hadn’t smashed the gangs!

  3. Those gangs will be sorry they ever tried to take on Kier, he’s really ruining their trade

  6. Smashing the gangs seems to be working well isn’t it…..

  7. Labour: We are going to smash the boat gangs and fix the economy. They sure got those two pledges mixed up.

  8. The photo is the cherry on the cake. Border force taxiing illegal immigrants into the country. Who is even enforcing our border?

  10. Joke of a country. Is there no crumb of national pride left? Are the working British people going to continue to get exploited, as their tax money goes towards stifling their own opportunities, in favour of people that don’t even speak English, nay even care for the culture; oftentimes voicing a distaste and opposition to our way of life? It has to end, is there nothing we can do as a people? Band together and maintain your strength. Social/cultural pressure is rising across the country.

  11. >A Home Office spokesperson said the government has a “serious credible plan to finally restore order to our asylum system”, and it will “stop at nothing” to dismantle the business models of people-smuggling gangs.

    Considering they took 6 months to fix a duplicated passport error and hold times averaging more than an hour… I can’t imagine how long it’ll take them to come up with a plan.

  12. To be fair our cause has not been helped by the Channel being a mill pond for what seems like months. It will only take a few weeks of stormy weather and the numbers will change.

  13. China and Russia sending weapons of human destruction , after the EU has rejected them the UK and its insane belief in alchemy turning third world felons into gold rated citizens seems insane .

  14. Luckily the new high profile Border Security Command and gang smashing strategy has kicked in then. Maybe they didn’t see the adverts in Albania and didn’t know to turn back?

  15. It’s simultaneously sad and funny watching government tie itself in knots rather than take the really really obvious step to fix this problem.

    Sooner or later a government in Europe is going to take a deep breath, announce that they are going to prioritise protecting their borders over a bunch of well meaning but outdated and wildly impractical international conventions and..the sky won’t fall. The professionally outraged will be outraged，it will turn out to be really really fucking easy for a well organised military and police force to physically prevent people from entering and deposit them at their port of departure and as soon as they start doing it the arrivals will dry up because people go where they think the laws are softest.

    And as soon as one government in Europe successfully does this everyone else will follow within nanoseconds.
