If the military sends extra boats (probably its OPVs) to the channel then they will be constrained by the same maratime conventions as the RNLI or BF.

Other than that the P9's could probably do a decent job identifying the boats leaving France but there are only 9 and they are based in Scotland (and have far more important jobs to do tracking the Russian Northern fleet).

Will the Daily Mail call out the Navy as the Enemy of the People and demand the Army take their tanks into the channel?

Would it really be that difficult to patrol the coast with boats, drones, helicopters and find these boats before they get going? I know it's a long bit of coast but there can only be relatively short parts that they can launch from. There must be a way to hammer the cunts that are organising all this around the coasts.

They're difficult to spot because they hide in the dunes and can put to sea at a moment's notice. The boats can be launched from pretty much anywhere because they can operate at pretty much any draught, sot it's just a question of pushing them out. Once they're in the water they're much harder to stop of course, because they float all over the shop.

The grown up solution to the problem both here and in the Med would be for European States including Britain to reach an agreement on processing so that legitimate asylum claimants could be allowed in, whilst those without a legitimate claim could be returned to their hoe countries. Unfortunately none of the Northern European plates want to act like grown ups on this, and are happy to send people back to war zones in the full knowledge that the people they're sending back are likely to face severe consequences. Britain and Denmark in particular are absolute bastards for this.

I know you are probably right. I guess it's a bit of an emotional wish list as I'd love these trafficking cunts to be caught and treated very averagely, and it seems to me there must be a fair bit more we could do to achieve some of that.

On your 2nd point, completely agree. Can't believe we are seriously considering flying everyone to Rwanda, along with a hefty bribe, when surely it would be so much easier and less expensive to achieve a more efficient and more humane process in Europe.

Whilst in no way wishing for a potential tragedy, the reaction of the Fail and other hardliners to a rescue by RN vessels and crew in our waters meaning the survivors had to be brought onshore here in the UK would certainly be "revealing".

Why would the Tories do that? The issue provides a continuously useful deflection from all the other ills emanating from no10 whilst allowing them to crow "told you so" on May's Go Back "Home" policy.

I think both solutions require huge cooperation and investment from governments across Northern Europe. And we just don't have that type of statescraft anywhere anymore.

They would leave well alone. Just like they leave the modern policies that the military have that would probably fall under being woke.

I think that like the Americans before us the UK will start to understand how our political systems are built upon supposed rules of decorum, honour and self sacrifice for the country. And when a character comes along with no honour and only wishing for personal gratifications there are no checks & balances in place.

Not really; the UK has a long history of using GCHQ for Political, & Economic espionage; & privacy, is something else that only the, wealthy, & Elites, are entitled to. They're already making peaceful protest illegal; now they're laying the ground work for removing an right to free speech.

Thinking about it; is the attack on the Beeb; not another massively stupid measure ?

Not speaking from just how idiotic it is, an act of cultural vandalism, & destruction of soft power; & an engine for an entire industry; but from the POV, of how it will blow back against the Tories !

If you kick a dog often enough; & then starve it; & back it into a corner, one more time; & pick up a stick ....
how do you see that ending well ?

If the Journos in the Beeb see themselves getting thrown out on the street, & the whole organization getting reduced to churning out , "... with the Stars", dross, & castrated News programs; do these morons think they'll just sit there, & accept it ?

... or will they make it their mission for their remaining time; to destroy as much of the Tory Party as possible ?

The same cabbages will trot out arguments whenever Republicans question why the Royal Family gets so much money; but completely ignore the fact; that any defense; or justification for why the Royals pay their way; equally applies to BBC.

The soft power the BBC gives the UK is immeasurable.

Surely lying to Parliament is a crime?

If it's not, it bloody well should be.

A fundamental principle of a Parliamentary democracy is oversight, which requires transparency.
