There is an easy and simple way to stop the boats, .

Go back to the cooperation we had with France re security and processing Asylum claims in France prior to Brexit. The only reason there are boat crossings is that the UK government have deliberately stopped all legal routes to claim asylum and have not negotiated a continuation of the pre Brexit agreement with the EU and France because of their anti EU ideology.

They somehow think that ignoring Asylum seekers will make them magically go away, the policy their pursuing won't deter any from making the crossing, I mean if they can lose 17,000 already here what are the odds they will actually not lose most of those coming across.

There were virtually no boat crossings before Brexit, precisely because there were legal routes to claim asylum. Asylum seekers make up a fraction of migrants coming into the country, but somehow removing human rights for everyone is a sensible solution to a problem that could be resolved quite easily.

For those that sat why should the Uk take any asylum seekers, the answer is simple, we are signed up to the international convention and should abide by it, we take less than other countries in any case and If the government actually invested in services instead of cutting them, there wouldn't be an issue.
