    Under SOLAS they have to be allowed to land!

    The old law of the sea, got to help those on distress!

     

    Well these people knew that they were doing and deliberately put themselves in that situation, hardly the same as shipwrecked sailor.

     

    If the patrol boats aren't patrolling they wouldn't find any one to rescue, and any migrants that do make it to UK shore should be given some food and water and towed back near the coast of France, where they came from and cast loose. 

     

    At the moment the UK government is paying the French millions of pounds to boost their police force and help stop the migrants leaving the French shore. It ain't working, they are probably having a good laugh at the situation at UK expense. Money for nothing for them.

     

    Dump a few boats of migrants back on their shore and see how they like it.

     

    The Rwanda farce is just as bad. Costing millions of pounds and archiving nothing. Rwanda is not a safe country, just Google back a few years. These inter tribal rivalries never go away and now with the UK Government pouring millions into the little country, the only ones profiting are the corrupt politicians.

     

     

  2. I haven't read through the whole 7 pages of this thread so sorry if this has been mentioned before.

     

    Any one who does not comprehend that parking in front of someone els'e drive way is not good behavior is obviously living in a different version of reality. 

     

    It is pointless to try normal rational discussions/arguments with such a person, they are not in the same orbit as you.

     

    You have to think and act outside the box. Just don't let anyone know it's you.
