I do hope that our leaders are preparing themselves for this possible invasion?

Lets stop all this pussy-footing about, questions need to be asked in the House, and contingency plans need to be made, that is when they finally arrive back to run the country.

AOG >that is when they finally arrive back to run the country.

Well,I did see the PM around the table on TV with the cabinet yesterday..

'May' the force be with her! We need another 'Iron Lady' right now.

well perhaps they'll sort it, it's a well known adage that not much gets done until the effluent hits the affluent. Lets see how true that is!

They can't force illegal immigrants across the channel.
If the wealthy is now getting a taste of not dealing with the issue maybe it'll spur the French to extract le digit.

A case of 'le nimbyism'!

Mon dieu!

I'll try as best I can to enlighten on this.

The Maire of any commune (district of Paris equals one) is called god. The Maire is elected - but the Maire's salary depends on the number of inhabitants. There are many angles, but that should give you the idea. This is why some of the tragedies of houses being erected on dangerous flood plains have happened as recently as last year.

Contingency plans certainly have to be made, though I doubt if the (inevitable i.m.o.) result of 'We shall fight them on the beaches' will be acceptable. With my hard-headed, historian, hat on, this is a likely result. How will our accommodating populace react to that? Another question, sorry.

Answer to OP. I think it is beginning to dawn on our leaders that we are in deep schtuck and hope contingency plans are being drawn - I worry that all the youngsters have been taught to be accepting of other cultures to the degree of neglecting our own. :(?

Radio Caroline and similar structures around the Dogger Bank look attractive, so does Rockall.
