Canary, we could be forgiven for thinking you're reading a different thread.

16:20 labour glot 20% of the vote, he got fewer than Agent Cob did when he got hammered by Boris.

For a non Labour voter you don't halfe bat for them canary.

Labour has a wide and very shallow majority. Tool and the gang, with their shenanigans have ensured they will never be trusted again. Even their own suporters think so.

I read in an earlier BBC report (but can't find it now) that the PM had indicated how it was unacceptable for persons to make their way to Britain in small boats. It was written in a way that implied the government may be considering giving migrants free passes on the commercial cross-channel ferry services. Hopefully not the case, but we'll have to see.

It need not take an age to process a claim. 5 minutes to check if they came from France (or other neighbouring nation) and then,  if so, reject.

No one needs an agreement to return chancers back across a border. It's just foolish to imply an agreement is needed.

 

What may be needed are more RN vessels if some places get funny about having their illegals returned back to them.

 

(Isn't dumping people onto another country an act of war or something ? If it isn't it should be.)

'Give them a bottle of water, turn the dinghy round and tow them back to France.'  As the ex p.m. of Iceland opined.

It really is that simple.

Just to demonstrate the naivety of suggesting the Dublin Agreement would be the answer to this problem, here’s a few facts about it (you knew I couldn’t resist):

Transfers in:
2016: 558
2017: 461
2018: 1,218
TOTAL: 2,237

Transfers out:
2016: 362
2017: 314
2018: 209
TOTAL: 885

In 2018, the majority (946) of the 1,218 transfers in came from Greece – which for many migrants may have been the first EU country they encountered.  As far as I am aware, Greece is a safe country but it was found necessary, under Dublin, to transfer them here. In that same year there were just 209 transfers out of the UK under the Dublin Regulations. A quarter of these (51) were transferred to France, which is almost certainly not the first safe country they arrived in.

There was a steady increase in the numbers of migrants the UK requested to transfer out under Dublin. In 2012 that number was 1,356 and by 2016 it had risen to 4,237. In that same period, the numbers approved for transfer fell from 708 to 535. So in 2016 only about 1 in 8 of the UK’s requests for removals under Dublin were approved.

The Dublin Agreement was on the table during the Brexit withdrawal talks and the EU was quite receptive to the UK’s participation post-Brexit. The UK negotiators declined their kind offer. With the above figures in mind, neither of those positions is very surprising.

"...under the Dublin Agreement we could send them back to the first safe country they entered, or where they had previously applied for asylum."

Yeah right. And I came second in the recent election to be the new Pope.

I should have added to 17:11;  & when you get back to the safe country of France, apply for a UK visa.
