  1.  @martinthackray You haven’t mentioned that leaving the EU has made us a third country so now we have no legal right to send anyone back to anywhere.

  2. ⁠​⁠ @lorrainemcguinness7281 We initially signed the 1951 Refugee convention so that was long before we joined the EU Lorraine. My point was leaving the EU has given us less rights to send anyone back to anywhere.

  3. Nope. We are now a third country and can’t send anyone back to anywhere as safe country rules no longer apply.

  4.  @leakoe3797 It could have been if we had stayed in the EU and the Dublin agreement lV had been signed up to where for every country sending over an immigrant they would have been charged £235k but thanks to Brexit and the people that thought it was going to be great for the UK we have no choice but to take everything that comes across…..👏🏻

  5. ⁠​⁠​⁠ @nigden1 Firstly,You need to read article 98 of the UN convention of the sea. Secondly, no one is illegal or bogus and those terms are just rhetoric from the likes of Patel onwards, probably where you heard the things about maritime law. Where people seem to still get confused is that there are no official legal routes to come here and apply for asylum, you have to be standing on UK soil (or sand!) to do this. Maybe where the term “illegal immigrants” has come from. No one is deemed illegal until they have been processed that way. An asylum seeker can cross as many safe countries they want so you are wrong in saying the French are responsible. We can no longer send anyone back to the first safe country they entered into as we are no longer in the EU and the Dublin agreement lll no longer applies to us. Ireland could use that still and I’m not sure why they aren’t doing so, unfortunately both Labour & Cons didn’t apply these rules properly but I think If you look at the official figures Labour actually sent more back than the Tories did. I’d put money on it if the government were allowed to use the Dublin treaty they would as that would be a lot better way of giving Rwanda millions for nothing. Why not send any asylum seeker straight to the Falkands? I’m sure once word got out that the weathers even worse than here they might slow down in coming? So essentially as I’ve told all my leaver builder mates moaning, they put the X in the wrong box and it’s their fault.

  6. That’s a long tape measure the coastguard has over there.

  7.  @trucker4567 Not the ones coming over in the last 14 year’s trucker and especially not the 1.2/3/4/5m or whatever that came over last year. Blair didn’t join the EU either - our current countries woes go way back to the Tories, Blair was a Tory with a red tie, one reason I never voted for him, and that’s coming from someone who has been a lifelong Labour voter. Saw him a mile off.

  8.  @janeburke147 Where did you make that one up from? The RNLI makes 94% of its money from donations and legacies and the other 6% is from investments.

  12. Here lies a descendent of an immigrant, married 2 immigrants, worked abroad most of his life but hates the EU. Rest in peas.

  13. You can’t leave your golf club then expect to rock up and play for free Adrian. We’d do exactly the same. France are just protecting their sovereign borders. Blame the Tory twats, not the French.

  15. How we got here Julie was thanks to the 52% of the 38% turnout thinking they were being patriotic.

  16.  @Eleventhearlofmars Unfortunately we don’t. Even despite changing our laws the UK signed up to the refugee convention and that would supersede anything the government tries to do. This is the problem. Fancy getting put into power by telling porkies about these sunlit uplands if we left the EU but not reading the rules before they offered the population who didn’t really understand anything but were so wound up about foreigners what would happen if we left. I’m not saying it was perfect but the grass isn’t always greener and it would have been far better to have a say in matters rather than sticking 2 fingers up to them, after all we had several vetos in place that other European countries didn’t. Too late now. We are where we are thanks to myopia.

  17. ⁠ @nigden1 Tell me - if the recent immigration act criminalised it how many people seeking asylum have been arrested on entering the UK by boat (small or large) train, bus, lorry, coach or car? The human rights act would supersede any immigration law especially as we are signatories of the 1951 refugee convention and under article 31 ( if memory is correct ) states that anyone claiming asylum has to be processed and treated fairly. If I remember Braverman and a few of her friends tried to get everything sorted but even though they are qualified in various areas of law they don’t possess any common sense thus threw lots of tax payers money at sending people to Rwanda and no one ( despite your thoughts ) has been arrested. I was hoping that I’d found someone who was like me and a bit flexible in the approach to the problems we face today but your comment about the UK doing just great and the EU failing apart has to be the funniest thing I’ve heard today so thanks for that one. As for my mates 2 out of 7 who are in the building trade are doing ok although the rest are packing it up with one losing so much work because of the price of materials he’s £25k in debt as he’s got a yard full of materials but no customers as they can’t afford the increase in the costs these days. We are forecast to be the second lowest performing economy this year under zee Germans who still have all their manufacturing in place and lots of people still waiting for their motors over here. Germany also own most of their utilities. My son lives in Berlin and says it’s much better than here in London. Your segment about paying 2 governments didn’t bother me as the £19 a month it cost me was well worth it. Those poor farmers in Wales now looking down the barrel as they’ve lost all their subsidies. Oh well, never mind. 😂

  18.  @stevec6427 As you know Steve it was all rhetoric to wind up the Mail/Express readers, short the pound numerous times so Crispin, Nigel & all their mates made a killing for their off shore hedge funds. Now the Reform cultists think that Tice is going to give everyone a 20k tax allowance and stop the boats. Thick as shite.

  19.  @keithgoodrick-meech3921 That’s why they probably don’t get involved with any government handouts but some people have spent so much time on Facebook they will believe anything Keith. The plonkers on here going on about people trafficking need to stay away from plug sockets.

  21. @waltersobchak1719If only we’d stayed in the EU and signed up to Dublin IV then we would not be having that problem.

  23. @waltersobchak1719Of course it does. We are now a third country and can no longer send anyone back to anywhere hence the record numbers coming in. Have a look at how many people Labour sent back under Dublin lll then take a look at when the Tories took over, you might be surprised. Annnnd even though the immigration laws have recently been changed it’s all just rhetoric to keep the Sun & Mail readers frothy. Quite a few cases have overthrown the government using article 31 of the 1951 convention.
