Officials on both sides of the Channel have warned of the dangers of crossing what is the world's busiest shipping lane in a small boat. Police have likened the journey to trying to "cross the M25 at rush-hour on foot".

Pfffffft.
No one bloody moves in M25 rush hour, no comparison!!

It doesn't actually say what the policy is though.

Shoot on sight?
Everyone welcome?

Not to provide a mid-channel taxi service, sounds like

That’s not right either. We’ll give you one more chance......

This business about the channel being like a 6 lane motorway must be totally phooey. If 9 Arabs can get across on a lilo then it must be equivalent to a six lane motorway at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Makes me wonder why drug traffickers bother risking the airport.

S'Ubermarine taxis!!

I love that these folk just bob around off Dover and call the coastguard for a lift in.

Classy. Resourceful chaps like them must be attractive to UK employers. If I fell asleep on an inflatable doughnut off Worthing and came to in Ostend harbour I'd be dining out on the story for years.

It's funny the BBC is making a big hooha about small boats trying to cross the Channel, when it is coming up to the vote in Parliament. As I understand it, there have been about 12 or so migrants (immigrants) caught recently, so hardly a major crisis and numbers not really up on previous years.

People who move around legally to work are migrants, so come in via airports and ferries.
Subtle language differences.

I am afraid they have taken part in a criminal enterprise and should go straight back to the Continent of Europe.

Knowing there is no future in this enterprise is the only way that the People Traffickers will be dissuaded (mind you catching them and banging them up wouldn't go amiss either).

Its known where they start their cross channel journey so why does the UN not position ships to promptly return these boats to shore, also hunt down the individuals who are taking their cash?

Apparently 51 dinghies since Christmas - seems like a crisis to me! Also if you send boats out to intercept - what do you do with the migrants?

I read 5 groups of boats and 23 people at the beginning of Christmas and then another 12 since so possibly 51 people rather than dinghies?
Anyway they get taken to detention centres, like the one at Gatwick.

Where have you been these last few months? Mars?

They should be rescued, of course, that is just plain humanity.



..........and then put ashore back in France; they could be taken on board a ship under armed guard, their inflatable dinghy towed to within a safe distance of the French coast, then the would-be illegal immigrants could be put back on their inflatable dinghy and supervised back to dry land. At which point, hopefully the French police will have been alerted to destroy the inflatable dinghy.

Why would the French agree to that?

 

[crookie]

I wonder why they aren't being stopped by the French !!?? Happy to be rid of them and they become our problem instead. Can't blame people fleeing these godforsaken dumps but we have a chronic housing shortage here, why should refugees who have travelled through several countries be housed ahead of people who have lived here their whole lives ? Take them back to French territorial waters.

relocate them to Scotland - if the drinking culture doesn't get them, or not understanding the native tongue, then the cold will !
