Nagel 10 #7 Posted May 31, 2016 I don't see it becoming a big thing. There isn't the corruption and criminal infrastrusture in France to supply all the boats and lifejackets and every boat which approaches Britain is monitored. Remember how difficult it was for us when we did the same to France in 1944? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

tzijlstra 11 #11 Posted May 31, 2016 This has literally been going on for decades. Anybody who doesn't believe that should wonder where all the illegal immigrants in garden sheds are coming from. It just proves that the idea that we can 'protect' our border because of being an island is in fact the complete opposite. Unless you want Trump to come and build a wall all around Britain of course. It is also relevant to note that the Channel is a lot shorter than some of the Lybia/Italy crossings and that there are pleasure yachts mooring all over the islands. I have several friends who sail to the UK from the Netherlands for fun, for racing and so on. They have never met a border-control person, ever.

Harrystottle 10 #12 Posted May 31, 2016 Get down to Walmington-Upon-Sea and form a Home Guard unit. Don't panic, Cap'n Mainwaring! The truth is that illegal immigration can be greatly reduced if there is the political will to do so. There isn't. The fact that the Border Farce have only three working boats tells you all you need to know about pie face Cameron's attitude, no matter what he may say in public. The public want immigration reduced, the politicians and big business do not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
