English Channel Migrant Drownings

[army88]

ANyone with a modicum of common sense and who had studied the EU would have realised that, far from stopping immigration, Brexit would be a big help for those wishing to enter Britain and seek asylum because they only have to get here and they are virtually untouchable.
As I said, France will not worry at all because they are not their problem once they have left France so why would they try to stop them? Sad state of affairs ---where are the leaders? Haha!

All true sub , but now we’re not in their legal boundaries why can’t we stop them.

I’m pretty sure that the dingy manufacturer is a good starting point , find the source of supply of that and it will stop the flow.

In all honesty you cannot blame migrants wanting to come here as were a soft touch with this and basically they get everything given ( human nature ), Boris made a mistake with this in his election campaign promising it would be stopped and since then him and Patel have made it worse not better - for this reason the north of England will not support Boris again ( before we all jump up and down the main reason he got votes up here was immigration promises).

Basically he’s lied and cocked it up

Now as a country we need immigration a controlled form of to make us a stronger country but the young men on boats scenario were getting by the thousands at the minute is a joke.

Well as for the French it’s one less problem for them to deal with , the more they move on to
Us the better it gets for them, Boris need to grow a pair and tell the idiot that is macron where to get off and that we won’t be accepting any more so called refugees in our country they’ll be getting turned round and shipped right back to France.

Boris might actually get a reprieve if he did this but he won’t and they’ll keep piling in sponging off the state, while our own needy people get overlooked.

A lot of people gave an awful lot for this country in two world wars and yet today we seem absolutely adamant to give it all up to people who mostly are NOT refugees.

Solution ? But, what did we do?

The government of Israel under prime minister Ariel Sharon decided to build a "security barrier" in 2002, in the midst of a dire security situation. The failure of the Camp David and Taba talks and the outbreak of the al-Aqsa Intifada, which took a heavy toll all over Israel and in Jerusalem in particular, accelerated the implementation of the idea of separation between Israel and the Palestinians with a physical barrier, which had been discussed since the 1990s.

In 2004 the International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled that the security barrier’s erection is against international law and that Israel must stop its construction. Among other things the court ruled that the barrier violates freedom of movement, freedom of occupation, the rights to health, education and employment services, and a decent standard of living. The court decision expressed a concern that the barrier might predetermine, on the basis of facts on the ground, the route for the future border between Israel and Palestine.( and more blah blah blah!)

(*Israel has continued building the barrier in defiance of a ruling by the International Court of Justice, ( blah blah blah!) also known as the World Court, based in the Hague.)

Effectiveness

The Israel reports that in 2002, there were 452 fatalities from terrorist attacks. Before the completion of the first continuous segment (July 2003) from the beginning of the Second Intifada, 73 Palestinian suicide bombings were carried out from the West Bank, killing 293 Israelis and injuring over 1,900. After the completion of the first continuous segment through the end of 2006, there were only 12 attacks based in the West Bank, killing 64 people and wounding 445. Terrorist attacks declined in 2007 and 2008, to 9 in 2010.
International Court of Justice decision is non-binding, it found the wall violates international law and called for its dismantlement. It also ruled Israel should pay reparations for any damage caused. ( blah blah blah!)

A month after the ICJ decision, the UN General Assembly (UNGA) voted overwhelmingly to demand Israel to comply with the UN’s highest legal body. In short we did what was needed, no problem, plus does anybody complain about a wall?

I've heard so many people saying they voted for Brexit to stop illegal immigration and not only has it not worked in the sense of illegal immigrants it has made a lot of legitimate european immigrants return home leaving drastic shortages in the NHS and hospitality industry, vacances we cannot fill. Brexit has been a cluster*** or more politely an omnishambles.

I voted for Brexit, I would vote for it again tomorrow. I didn't particularly vote for Brexit to stop illegal immigration, I voted for Brexit so that our government was in control of our country, economy, laws, and borders certainly. If it is a cluster****, an omnishables, then we can vote the cluster****ers out at the next election, we, the British people, control our government now, that's what I voted for.
