It has just been announced that we will give France another £660 Million over the next three years to continue with their highly successful 'anti migrant policies'. Government supporters must be jubilant.
We have now given France over £1.3 Billion to help stop the continuous influx. It was Rishi Sunak who first gave them £500 Million back in 2023, since when 84,000 illegal immigrants (that we know of) have managed to paddle across The Channel.
I don't want anyone to get upset, but I'm going to suggest something quite radical.
Rather than spend all our hundreds of £Millions on something that WE ALL KNOW won't work, why not send one of our 'all immigrants welcome' Ministers to Australia to see how their government's 'Operation Sovereign Borders' policy works (above). A round ticket, and a 2 day stay in Oz, would cost about £5,000 so we could make a saving of £659,995,000; which I'm sure would make Rachel from Accounts very happy.
Australia has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to illegal immigration; and it works !
Can't the UK do the same ? It's only those 20 miles between Calais and Dover that need to be patrolled !
It's not exactly the Straits of Hormuz.

Cro, you are too radical!
ReplyDeleteI can't do anything about it. I was built like that.
DeleteGo for it Cro. I am liking your latest common sense posts. Chucking loads of money at a crisis will not make one bit of difference to the outcome. Rupert has a better idea.
ReplyDeleteHow come they don't understand that. The evidence is there for all to see.
DeleteTrouble is with the pesky French that the ironically titled, "border control officers" go off for a two hour lunch break at midday. While they are guzzling their "plats de jour" and necking cheap Magnon red wine, the migrants launch their homemade rubber dinghies. Both the rubber material and the outboard motors are manufactured in France by Emmanuel Macron's thriving travel facilitation company "Bon Voyage".
ReplyDeleteAnd when they're not eating, they just conveniently happen to be looking the other way, as a 'petite demoiselle' goes by.
