It would appear the the French police have started splashing boats as they're launched.

Finally some robust action.

Splashing boats?  That'll do the trick!  ;D

Boat people - tow the boats back to France and drop them off.
If the French want a fight over it, well they need to remember history.

Young Brits who think the country owes them a living without them having to get out of bed - starve them into a job.
If they claim to be disabled. Tell them Stephen Hawking was the most disabled person you could ever see, and he worked all his life.
99% of people are capable of doing something.

Gets my vote. The French are just operating a taxi service. They should be questioning the prospective ( now punctured) boat people and bussing them back to the EU country they arrived in.for asylum processing. Imagine the Frogs if boat people arrived in the UK and gangs smuggled them to France. I wonder what their response would be.

It would certainly be a much more robust response than our useless spineless political and governing classes can muster.  ::)

At the very least they would demand that Britain take back all illegal immigrants that arrived by dinghy from England, and I've little doubt that the UK Govt would agree to do it without so much as a whimper.  :-X

I've seen the occasional report of the odd migrant trying to get back to France when they find life in Britain is not for them, only to be caught and stopped by the British authorities.  ::)  I think one stole a canoe and tried to paddle back to France.  :)

From an article in today's Telegraph by Daniel Hannan.

Consider, one more time, some of the statistics.

Around 3,000 people a day are signed off as too sick to work. The total number of claimants is forecast by the government to go from 3.3 million to 4.1 million by the end of this parliament.

According to the NHS Confederation, in 2021-22, 63,392 people went straight from university onto long-term sickness benefits.

The fastest rise is among 25- to 34-year-olds, an incredible increase of 69 per cent in five years. (Incredible in every sense: such a sudden and cataclysmic explosion in disability would surely be visible on the streets.)

In Birmingham, one in four working-age adults is inactive. One. In. Four. Even at the height of the Great Depression, the proportion in our second city never rose so high. Then, mass worklessness was treated as the most important challenge facing the nation; now, we barely notice.

Not unreasonable  ;)

Outlawing Uber Eats/Just Eat/Deliveroo would go someway to cutting off income streams too.

People would riot!  :o  ;D

" Like the old Danish king of England, Starmer sits and watches as the waves of people wash irresistibly to our shores, and in his self-imposed impotence he is making himself look like a complete and utter Canute. "  Boris Johnson  ;D

No one ever looked at my Mondeo...  :(   I quite liked that though to be honest, as I could park it anywhere and nobody paid attention to it.  :y

Today I pulled into a filling station and there was a black BMW 325i Touring parked up. As he drove away he took a long look at mine.  I think he had size envy! :D

Standard BMW driver, then.  ;)

I see. Now I'm a BMW driver, I'll have to put up with snarky comments from saggy Jag drivers?  ???    ;D

I predict that 'One in, one out' will not make the slightest difference to the boats/migrants crossing the channel

What planet are Starmer and Macron living on !!!!! >:( >:(

Macron knows what he is doing.  Starmer is just weak and foolish.  :-X
