Widespread disorder and violence is a smaller risk than people on boats who make up a tiny proportion of immigration? Only caveat to that is the risk to loss of live, but most people only care about the numbers... |  | |  |

Are you sure what’s ‘border Command ‘ got to do with riots! Still plenty of boats out there picking them up. 2 deaths 700 yesterday how many a day do you think it will be now the weather is calm? |  | |  |

Of course 5/6 days of utter scumbag behaviour should be dealt with, as mentioned. 700 (small number?) yes it’s a tiny proportion of the overall numbers… that’s the problem, surely? You/I have absolutely no idea if those 700 are more/less of a risk to a load of British louts playing the idiots for 5/6 days. Again, the issue, we know nothing about them. So, a crack down on the gangs bringing them over will help. Or is that a ludicrous suggestion? |  |

Not sure why I feel I need to defend the Labour Party on their behalf, but if you ever thought the trafficking gangs, who have been operating their poisonous model for years, were going to broken in 5 to 6 weeks, you may need to review your expectations. I expect these few days of good weather will see multiple crossing attempts and the trafficking gangs will become a little richer. I've no idea if the job adverts have been written or gone out yet? Perhaps you might consider applying for the new border force? I expect your desire to smash the gangs and stop the crossings would perfectly match the essential skills criteria. Worth a look. |  |

No, the 700 is not the problem. The real problem is the tragic deaths of 2 human beings. Your xenophobia is clearly clouding your view of the situation. |  |

Entirely different trying to target the cause as well instead of just treating the symptom. The smugglers still make their money, innocent people still die but who cares because we can send the survivors to Rwanda. Thankfully grown ups are now in charge. |  |

I doubt I'd be brave enough to risk my own life let alone my children's to go across the North Sea on a dinghy. I'd probably have to end up travelling by land to the first safe country I could. Maybe France or Holland. Or are there safer places first on a journey across the continent of Europe to the Northern European coast. Spain or Greece maybe. |  | |  |

Every illegal immigrant crossing the Channel costs approx at least £80,000 a year in hotels, food, medical, dentist all of which are free to the migrant So Sunday’s crossing will cost tax payer £56,000,000 And that’s why labour have cancelled fuel benefits and will have to increase taxes in other ways. I am not racist or far right but where is the money going to come from to support migrants? |  | |  |

Well it is perfectly legal to rescue people from unsafe boats,which an overloaded dinghy is,and then return them where they came from! No turning unsafe boats around actually pick them up and take them back! This could be done just off the French coast so no need for lives to be risked mid channel. As it’s a rescue then it is legal! That was actually done a week or so ago so the precedent has been set. [Post edited 12 Aug 2024 13:39]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66022219.amp How does that square with that the Tories themselves are saying here vs the costings given? Had we had a government who worked with France, who built the facilities when offered etc would we be incurring anything close to these now? In the meantime what do you do? |  |

That doesn’t stop them. How do you stop the gangs? Simply dropping people back to France doesn’t stop them trying again. All it does is add another cost to proceedings. |  |

what about a task force based on the chanel beaches who’s sole mission is to destroy any vessels attempting the crossing before they set off…? |  | |  |

The last government refused to work with France. Given they’re using all sorts of cheap inflatable dinghies, you’d need a dedicated force full time covering a vast area using incredibly high tech solutions too it seems. I think a combined force with the French is possible, it depends on what this government can and will commit to. Ultimately though we are back to the same issue of people happy and willing to die to get here. How do we deal with that? |  |
