Scrap that.

It looks as though the police have given up and are letting it go frown
Well they're going to have a horrible crossing - looks like a cold northerly wind + drizzle.

It just shows how completely ineffective the French police are, that boat is now comically overloaded and the French police just stood around and watched it launch regardless.

There might be a strategy from the police to let them travel a little bit and then turn them back with the police vessels but I doubt it.

I would like to know what happens to this particular migrant boat.

£500M so far isn't it?

Wonder what the next excuse will be.

Passing legislation that insists lies are truths is not what rational governments do, This law is peak Tory, eye wateringly expensive legislation rooted in an untruth forced onto the statute book by mediocre people.

Fully expect the usual crowd to tell me to cry harder or something but it's ok, I'm content in the knowledge I would never debase myself to the point of supporting a law that deports desperate people to an unsafe country.

You can keep repeating yourself, but repetition doesn't make the argument more convincing.
Convincing or not that is what is happening. You can suck your thumb and hope it doesn’t but the political calculus suggests otherwise.
What are you talking about? You seem to be reduced to word salad.

Quite.

The utter stupidity of passing this law is that they now have to try to make it work. The curtain is being pulled back. Michael Tomlinson (the minister for illegal migration, no less) has just made a fool of himself on the Today programme because he is completely incapable of explaining how the policy actually delivers anything useful. He was simply asked "now that you've passed this law, how are you going to use it?" He couldn't even answer that. He spoke faster and faster to try to fill the intellectual vacuum and ended up saying "becoz Labour."

At what stage do their final few supporters throw in the towel and accept that the Conservatives have done nothing but bluff for the last 8 years?

I listened, Note that he held up the Albania deal as evidence of Sunak being on the right path. Albania of course being a country with a limitless capacity for taking Albanians & round & round the madness goes,

It was a civil question to the language you used because I struggle to see why they are desperate, they are safe in France, desperate for a hotel room and a new mobile phone ?

I know you struggle, Your own language in the quoted post proves it. I felt bad for describing you as ignorant, then you said safe France, mobile phones, hotel rooms & proved it. So like I said, you could go away & read up on the complex & varied reasons why people choose to come here over somewhere else or alternativey trot out the lazy tropes above. You always have a choice.

So you think anyone who wants to come to the UK should be allowed ?

I think I've answered you as much as I'm willing to.

Zoe Gardiner. Look her up & go from there.

I wasn't interested in somebody else's opinion, I presumed you had an opinion, but apparently not.

Apparently they’ve also found thousands of hours worth of court time, hundreds of judges to sit in these cases and other legal staff to administer it.

Must be comforting to those waiting for justice for sometimes over a year because of cuts to the justice system that resources can be found when it’s expedient for political aims…
