Kemi Badenoch to do ‘whatever it takes’ to deal with illegal Channel crossings

  1. What is it with these idiotic rags calling the act of crossing the channel to get to the UK illegal? They know, or should know given the court decisions made earlier this year, that calling it illegal is wrong.

    It only becomes illegal if people do not claim asylum etc.

  2. Whatever it takes, great. In that case we’d like a processing office in Calais and legal routes of migration set up please. That’ll stop the boat gangs for a fraction of the cost of the Rwanda Solution.

  3. > whatever it takes

    Except:

    * Treating refugees like humans
    * Helping them cross the channel safely
    * Letting them claim asylum at an embassy or safe processing centre
    * Not dumping them in an African dictatorship

  4. They’ll do everything *except* exert our oft vaunted “soft power” to deal with the reasons *why* there are so many refugees in the first place.

  5. Whatever hairbrained solution they come up with, like deploying navy destroyers, I would like to see fully costed against just housing and feeding people until they get work.

    Even taking morality out of the equation, I cannot imagine any solution stacks up financially against just helping them.

  6. non disruptive foreign policy that’s more about helping less fortunate countries to develop, grow etc safely then it is about conflict etc? just put Priti Patel on a buoy in the middle of the Channel with a megaphone shouting at them.

  7. Why is it that the BAME conservative party members are so truly awful to migrants? Suella, Kemi, Priti, Zahawi – they all go so far with rhetoric it just blows my mind.

  8. Guys, a few strong leftists apart, most of the country wants to put a stop to channel crossings.

    There is not only the danger aspect but this country is not open to unprocessed immigration.

    The gory Tories are tapping into this.

  9. So I take their planning to restore the legitimate processes and arrangements we used to have, that ensured that people could come over here in a controlled and safe manner that this government got rid of right?

  10. Importing great white sharks to patrol the channel and then training them to attack smugglers …. Oh shit they would be foreign and not British sharks think again

  11. How fucking racist would you have to be to be like yes, I’ll vote for the party that wants to make me poorer, sell Britain’s services and infrastructure to the highest bidder, remove our civil rights because I hate them damn brown people!!
