Metal chains to stop migrant boats from France to the UK • FRANCE 24 English

While the British government's flagship promise remains "stopping the boats", migrant boats keep coming. Last weekend, a small boat capsized in the English Channel, killing six people. The British government is paying millions to the French government to prevent boats from leaving France. The latest technique: physical barriers.

You could stop the boats overnight. If France announced that they would take every person who crossed to the UK in a small boat back with no questions asked there would be no people traffickers, and no camps in French seaside towns. It'll never happen because it's too politically difficult.

[@michaelmcnally2331]

Or could simply open an asylum centre in France where the people could apply for asylum. That way no need to get on boats. Was even offered by France as a way to stop the boats back in 2021 and uk rejected it. Instead uk government would rather have the distraction of the boats to the uk public. If could apply for asylum (no gaurantee will be granted) then wouldn’t be necessary to get on a boat, and anyone retrieved from a boat can be taken to where they can apply for asylum (ie back in France) Once applied then who are should be on record so if try again then already failed claim and quick deportation. This is not a french problem and even if they agreed to take them back to france from the boats it won’t stop them trying again will it. As only get picked up if caught. So it is no deterrent at all and won’t stop them trying to get to Britain. Having them claim asylum from France as well means that 1) have no need to get on boat so why get on there 2) if on boat then take them to where can claim asylum (ie France) 3) no stupid accommodation needed in uk for them whilst being processed.

[@backintimealwyn5736]

why would France do that? We don't want them, send them back to their country , once on your territory they're yours. Why do you seem to think that they belong to us. Hint : it will not stop unless you stop it UK, France has it's own problem, you need to face this S. , you wont be able to drop it on others. Stop attracting them.

Eventually they will give the vast majority of these hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants (which it will be that number by the time this gets stopped or slowed down) refugee status in the UK, they will then empty the 500 hotels or more, which they currently fill up across the country, barges, army camps and where ever else these migrants are housed onto the streets and communities of most probably the working class areas as usual, this is when you will see the real trouble start, but it will be much too late by then to do anything about it, it will just be tension and chaos, 99% of these illegal migrants are young fighting aged men and bringing no women of their own with them.

Uhm, no, France was promised something like £50m in the first year, and the UK didnt pay, then complained that the French were doing too little as per the agreement. That was the agreement that the UK promised to pay for, but didnt. After pressure in the press, the UK finally paid what they promised. Then the subsequent year was something like an extra £5m, same again 3rd year, and recently a deal for £500m or so was agreed, but note, hasnt been paid for yet (as far as I understood from reading about this a few days ago).

[@angr3819]

It's the Kalergi plan and.....they clearly don't know why they have long been brought here. I doubt you have either. See "These chimneys aren't real" by Ringway Manchester. Then think Deagel population forecast for 2025. Remember that foive jee IS a military grade weapon and has been used as such. It has no place whatsoever in public communications. Even fore jee is highly suspect. Migrants have brought here to commit genocide upon as many as possible for a major cull....yet they seem to think that those in control have stolen what is ours to give it to them because they luurv them. They think those nice, altruistic banksters, their royal relatives and politician family members etc don't have ulterior motives. At least when I go it will be in my ancient homeland, where I belong, and not scrounging from a different peoples in a foreign country where I know the native inhabitants who built it don't want me. I don't have to pretend to myself and lie to others that by some twisted mentality I have a right to be where I actually have no right to be. Only 3 airports by 2030 but special permission to fly only. No way out. A few of the rich and too powerful might leave doubles to fool people, but they themselves will be on private islands and estates in S. America. Those migrants don't think "There must be a catch", do they? In fact they don't seem to really think objectively at all. They are like children not warned against taking sweets to go with a stranger. They are being led here to do some dirty work on us then to be slaughtered themselves, leaving only around a quarter to a third of the population alive - non white. Those left will be surfs as in the middle ages....they won't have the luxuries they have been led to believe they will have.

[@bigrobsydney]

@@sylviadrummond7293 1. What benefits are people seeking asylum entitled to? People seeking asylum are not allowed to claim mainstream welfare benefits in the UK. In most cases, they are also banned from working. They can access support in the form of housing and basic living expenses while in the UK through the Home Office. 2. But do people seeking asylum get this free housing forever? No. When someone gets refugee status, they can no longer stay in asylum accommodation. They can choose where to live, but they have to pay for their rent or ask for government help - like any UK citizen. There is a clear distinction here that you will surely be aware of, and that is the time taken to move from asylum seeker, to formal refugee. You will no doubt have seen news in the media bout the wait times getting longer. This is a function of the UK government choosing deliberately to not invest into the process. This is political, because they can then turn around and say, look at how many people are in the queue, thinking that people are either too stupid, or too poorly informed, to understand that the queue itself is managed by the UK government itself.

[@jacquesmertens3369]

The French government have chartered 2 so called "rescue vessels", which actively transport economic migrants to the UK, thereby assisting the people smugglers. It's a two-faced policy. Pretending to deter people, but giving them a taxi ride as soon as they are a few miles off the French coast. Needless to say this policy acts as a magnet. And do we want to know how many fishing boats or private yachts are involved in the smuggling? Many fishermen or yacht owners aren't as innocent as they pretend to be.

I can't go to France as I don't have a passport. My choice not having one as I like to holiday in the UK. If I did somehow manage to get to France what would happen. I would be refused entry and sent back home. So why don't we do the same here. Intercept incoming migrants , handcuff them then march them to the next available ferry to France. That ferry trip will save millions of pounds of tax payers money. It's a political hot potato that no political party wants to address. It would only take a few ferry trips back before they get the message that their costly ILLEGAL crossing is pointless. Stayed in Devon this year on holiday. A hotel 200yrds from the beach was housing them. All day they played on the beach , football mainly as all were young males. They smoked , joked and laughed all day and swaggered around as if they owned the place. All had iPhones and high end sports gear plus free bus passes. It was as all their dreams had come true and they seemed to snigger at us as they walked bye. That holiday cost me around £2000 for 2 weeks. They get it all for nothing for breaking UK law. ABSOLUTELY SICKENING.

[@Wudster64]

@@anty66 I'm sure that there is a law that they can be returned to the country they had just departed. And considering that France is the closest country that's very very likely where they departed from. Not many sailing from Spain or Norway.

[@Wudster64]

If I was American with no passport but sailed to France from the UK and was apprehended on arrival I'm pretty sure the rules allow them to send me back to the country I departed from. Someone out there must know the exact ruling. If I'm wrong I'm quite willing to be educated.

[@Kenjikah]

Asylum cases should only be petitioned in foreign embassies overseas and should be denied at borders. You encourage this journey by not making this law..

Why do we not do like Aus? Intercept just before landing, put them back into rigid unsinkable life rafts with some water & food & tow them back to within the waters they came from? People smugglers realised within two weeks that no migrants would pay for a round trip & it stopped.

[@davidtaylor2978]

Time the captains of our coast guard, Immigration boats, RNLI and the french ships that escort these illegal immigrants were charged with aiding and abetting, these people traffickers. Aiding and abetting is a legal doctrine related to the guilt of someone who aids or abets (encourages, incites) another person in the commission of a crime (or in another's suicide). It exists in a number of different countries and generally allows a court to pronounce someone guilty for aiding and abetting in a crime even if he or she is not the principal offender. The words aiding, abetting and accessory are closely used but have differences. While aiding means providing support or assistance to someone, abetting means encouraging someone else to commit a crime. Accessory is someone who in fact assists "commission of a crime committed primarily by someone else".[1]
