We need a deal to replace the Dublin convention. But before you think that was a good solution, consider that in our final year we asked the EU to take back 8000 but they only accepted 105. For our part of the deal we had to accept 882 from them. (In addition to the 8000.)
>In 2020, the UK tried to sent back more than 8,000 migrants to the bloc only to have 105 accepted. It took in 882 migrants from the EU.
Also:
>Home Office data shows that more people came to the UK – under the scheme – than left in the final two years it was operating.
>
>2019: 714 arrived in the UK and 263 left
>
>2020: 882 arrived in the UK and 105 left

Rishi is right this problem can only be solved by a union of nations. Rishi advocated leaving that union.
Brexit voters got the opposite of what they wanted. Less control over the borders.
People who support the EU quickly forget that they are actively pushing illegals to cross into Britain.
All boat asylum seekers will just permanently stay in the UK then.
No problem – Border Force simply assist the French to rescue people escaping from French Territorial Waters, do the right thing, and return them to Calais for processing.
Of course they have they dont want them and are activly helping them get here.
Can you blame them? Short of erecting a massive statue of a middle finger on the cliffs of Dover, we’ve done everything in our power to incinerate the bridges of cooperation we had with the EU over the last 8 years.
The eu is helping them. You know it. I know it.
But why would so many people want to leave the paradise that is the eu and risk life sneaking across the Channel?
France is happy that we keep giving them free money, while they will just keep ushering migrants out of their country over the channel and make it our problem. We (and other commonwealth countries) along with America liberated their country and this is how they thank us. Good deeds and sacrifice are always forgotten.
You cannot stop migration.
We are about to enter a period of unimaginable migration. There will be more people coming here than the tories can shoot (which is undoubtedly how they will choose to deal with it).
The sensible option is to turn the problem into a benefit.
Migration boosts population, skills, etc. We can benefit from migration massively (like we did with indian and Pakistani and Jamaican migrations post war.
The issue is that in order to benefit from these migrations we need the infrastructure to deal with increased population. Within a decade these people would be earning and creating jobs and add to market growth in multiple sectors.
However, tories do not know how to build infrastructure, they only know how to dismantle a d sell infrastructure.
This is a problem of our own making. Stop voting tory and prepare for the inevitable, and try and make something out of the situation (instead of fighting the inevitable, sabotaging our existing infrastructure and trying to pin the blame on scape goats).
The UK will end up sending the army supporting the EU patrolling the European border.
Ze French are revolting. What do you expect their not getting a regular income from blighty. Having said that they’ve got over 30 billion of our British pounds locked up in their banks. I’d be inclined to get it back now before we go Cryptic.
Europe has enough of it’s own problems with migration, stateless persons, and asylum seekers.
Poland currently has over 1.5 million and Germany 1.1 million, displaced persons from the Ukraine alone.
There’s only one thing for it, we’re going to have to take them to war.
Britain: We want control!
EU: OK. All yours
Britain: Not like that!!
Just so were clear when we were in the EU the UK had a fuckton of influence which if we hadn’t left could have been used to solve this problem far more effectively than the Con’s do nothing grandstanding has ever done.
Another Brexit “success” to add to the pile.
Surely the UK can just make bilateral deals with the countries of origin of the migrants to send them back there. Once news is out.. it will stop further dinghies.
It’s still absolutely baffling that people **want** to come here instead of just staying on mainland Europe.
There is significantly more space on the continent, as opposed to our quite small island that is struggling to support it’s current populace as is.
