Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I don’t trust Macron or the French. 50 in 50 out is not even going to touch this problem. Only interdicting the boats BEFORE they set off will make any real difference and it should not be forgotten that crossings are at a record level. The problem has been caused by the EU with its catastrophic expansion into Eastern Europe and an open doors borders policy. It cannot protect its own flimsy frontiers so is powerless to prevent migration into the EU and thence migration to the UK. Surveillance drones and fast launches are needed not some pathetic little 50/50 deal.

Not exactly rocket science is it Sir Outwood? Just needs someone with the will & cojones to order it. Where's the Ghost of Maggie when you need her?
