For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Sir Keir somehow imagines that he is going to locate the gangs and cut off their income system at source.
Since we are paying the French government an obsecene amount of millions for their assistance, which has yielded zero dividend thus far, just how naive does he have to be to imagine that this is going to work?
I'd have agents crawling all over northern France sabotaging the boats before they even get in the water. Then I'd be finding the sellers of these boats and buying them all for double what they sell them for. Then I'd get the Border Farce to actually do their job rather than that of P&O. RNLI will be banned from their cross channel ferry duty too.

Labour also says there will be a general amnesty for all current illegal immigrants, and an 'agreed number' who can continue to come here without sanction.
That may be their, and your, idea of 'control', I have to say it's not mine.
I don't think anyone will ever solve this problem. Not in our lifetime. These people are prepared to risk everything to get to the UK. The Channel is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. People are risking their lives, knowingly, to get here. When people are like that, I don't think any immigration plan will stop them, no matter whose plan it is. Even if we took extreme measures, there would still be people trying to cross The Channel in small boats. And by extreme measures I mean EXTREME, ie, shoot on sight. Just hypothetical, but it wouldn't stop them, even that threat.
I am genuinely looking forward to Labour sorting out all of the UK's woes - they seem to have a solution for everything. Marvellous.
I'll be generous and give them a year's grace, but after that, if they haven't solved everything they've said they're going to solve, those of who know they won't can well and truly pile in.
