Maybe not armed Police, but perhaps one of these private security firms that are popping up all over. They could keep the beaches safe and secure from people trying to get over on boats.

The length of coastline of Great Britain plus its principal islands is about 19,491 miles. How many of our forces would that need?

2 soldiers per mile?

Well I suppose the OP would say that at least the MOD cannot carry out their cutbacks! Also, would all service soldiers be allowed to patrol the beaches or just the 'British' ones?

I think they are only bothered about the beaches around the Kent coastline -I doubt people traffickers are going to come form Calais to the UK via Blackpool

Actually I remember a scientist on TV saying that will all the tiny inlets, nooks and crannies the coastline is in theory of infinite length, but in practice, even if ignore some are parts we are certainly talking about several thousand miles

It would just transfer the problem in many cases I think, Retrochic- these people smugglers have to make a living
