^ What cassa said
If not, why not ?

"It is not yet known where the migrants are from but as they were rescued from British waters, they will be dealt with by British officials."

So why weren't they towed into French waters first ? Must have started out from there.
Should have been asked, " Have you got a ticket? Can't come in here son without a ticket. More than my jobs worth!"
Have to agree with Theland its quite a heavy fine if you are caught without a ticket on a Train.
And still they come.
Yes, still they come. But how can it be stopped? Particularly once they get past half way. I'd agree that continually towing them back to the middle or not rescuing them or might help but we'd need to board the boat to check for passports first. It's the traffickers we need to put out of business. I can't see France being prepared to take these people with no questions asked
I thought Brexit was going to solve all this. No?
Ha. Will probably mean more of it- and make it even more difficult for us to get any co-operation from the EU countries. Maybe we need to build a wall mid channel
I’m sure lots of leave voters told me that curbing immigration was why they voted as they did. Yet we have at least one of them on here proclaiming things are going to get worse this summer. Go figure.
Ah, lack of understanding. Explains a lot.
No need for a wall, just some backbone in dealing with invaders.

They're leaving a perfectly safe, stable European country to come here illegally with the hope of reaching the terminally gullible who will help them in their "struggle".

OG, I agree. How Zacs equates non-Europeans with Europeans is anyone’s guess.
I haven’t made any distinction regarding the nationality of the migrants, Naomi.
I know, zacs. That's the point.
Erm.....ok.
Don’t you recall one of the main reasons for voting leave being to reduce illegal (and legal) immigration? I do.
Brexit has no effect on illegal immigration. That's potty.
"Don’t you recall one of the main reasons for voting leave being to reduce illegal (and legal) immigration? I do."

Erm I think you have deliberately twisted this. As you well know, and so do the vast majority of leavers it is the swathes of East European countries coming in that caused the problem with the EU.

Will they be sent back - will they heck. Free Council house (probably in centre of London where we cant afford to live), a pocket load of money, free health care and setup for life no doubt.

Will more come, of course - until we get a backbone and lock them up at the very least.
Naomi May 2016: 'I don’t think immigration is the ‘prime’ reason [to vote leave], but I think it shares top spot with our inability, as an EU member state, to govern ourselves.'
Feb '19: 'Brexit has no effect on illegal immigration. That's potty.'

Ah-hem.
Zacs, best get something for that cough. It seems to be affecting your judgement. I see no 'illegal' immigrants there.
