Yes, I would think that making everything harder for the gangs would be reasonably easy
This inflatable boats must be purchased from somewhere.... same with the lifejackets
Maybe we could ask Ukrainians to help with Infra red drone technology to catch them on the beaches as they are getting ready to launch
But it seems like France doesn't really have the political will to do all this
If only UK was part of an all Europe organisation where we could all co operate on this and other cross border issues [Post edited 16 Sep 9:51]

To be fair, it is hard to imagine someone having worse political instincts than Starmer, K
He seems staggeringly inept |

I remember reading someone waggishly pointing out the 2 different philosophies on how the RAF and Luftwaffe went about fighting BoB
The RAF were meticulous, very careful planning, a very detailed, well crafted command/ control system and very careful use of assets.....in short, a highly technical and professional operation
The Luftwaffe on the other hand were almost Devil May Care, no clear strategy, no great understanding of how to acheive their aims and a series of ill thought through changes as if on a whim...... a very amateur show
The irony being that we see being organised, disciplined and methodical as very German traits, and the have-a-go nonchalance as a delightfully whimsical English characteristic
Funny ol' world, innit [Post edited 16 Sep 9:24]

Indeed, people did fight and die in the hope of a better society
Which is why I am distraught at the possibility of Farage, N being given the keys to No 10
Because I am convinced he will make everything a great deal worse for everyone but the super rich
If you are a billionaire you don't need the welfare system, the NHS or functioning state schools
But billionaires are rubbing their hands with glee at the anticipated tax cuts for the wealthy and the opportunities that further relaxing of regulatory controls will give them
He really really really doesn't have your or my best interests at heart, he stokes division and hatred as a smokescreen for his agenda of shrinking state involvement
Brexit wasn't really about controlling migration by ending freedom of movement for people, it was about deregulation and avoiding scrutiny
Brexit has, by any metric, made things considerably worse for almost everyone; a 6% hit to GDP, fishing, manufacturing and financial services battered by new restrictions
And Mr Brexit himself is promising to lead us to a new promised land
Indeed, people did fight and die for the right to vote, so I urge everyone to use their vote but think very very carefully before they put their mark on the ballot paper
Not COYB in this case, more FOYT |

Happy BoB Day y'all
" Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few"
One RAF pilot commented afterwards.... " I thought he ( Churchill ) was talking about my bar bill "
There are some things about British humour that you just have to adore |

Is the cognative bias where people of limited abilites overestimate their skill level, as identified in 1999 by the 2 eponymous psychologists
The Danny Kruger effect is similar, but different
First noticed in September 2025, it is where a reasonable sensible Conservative MP decides that his future is best served by leaping into bed with a rabble of ne'er do wells, racists and bigots led by a man with a striking resemblance to Homer Simpson |

Small point of order
The people on small boats are not " illegal"
They have a right to come here and claim asylum, they come here in small boats because there is no safe organised route
If their asylum case is rejected then , if they don't leave, at that point they are in the country illegally |

It's a bit rubbish when the promised land is such a let-down
Blah blah, journey is better than the destination
Maybe we will all feel a bit better if we can give the Prem a bit more of a go next time |

Or we could just normalise utterly repugnant views and pretend to ourselves that it doesn't really matter
We could resist the temptation to raise a voice against repulsive views so as not to "make a fuss"
And then see where that kind of behaviour get us..... it would probably be fine |

So....
You are certain you are not racist...just maybe a bit racist-curious
You wanna attend a few racist events just to get a feel of how it all is, just as an observer
But you are certain that you are not in the slightest bit racist
Sure, you use a few racist tropes in your polemic, but that doesn't actually signify anything
Because you believe you are not a racist
Maybe just a bit racist-curious
That's all, just wanting to see and feel and observe......
But you didn't inhale |

I was pleasantly surprised that SheffU came to play a game of football.... made for a much more enjoyable spectacle as opposed to the niggly fouls, Oscar wining theatricals and general sh1thousing from some of the teams we play. Well done to ref for allowing this to happen
Onwards and upwards....
