From that I must assume that you think that unrestricted migration is OK? These people traffickers are criminals but continue on with it because they are allowed to. Migrants use the traffickers because they have the aim to reach Europe/UK but traffickers control most of the routes and means to achieve that aim. True refugees in strife lose out because they have no money and can't pay. Why do we see so few women and children in these groups arriving now? I didn't say that Merkel created the wave of refugees but, yes her actions were a factor w.r.t. the Brexit vote. What was revealing (and more alarming) was the deafening silence from the EU after she rolled out the welcome mat, even after she had broken EU immigration rules. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34402001

The Rwanda idea does nothing to stop organized human trafficking, which is the main reason for the recent large increases in migrants arriving in Europe and, so, on to the UK. This is illegal in the EU but evidently not well controlled there. Merkel showed who was really in control of the EU in 2015, when European doors were opened wide by the words of one woman in one country - the vote to leave the EU was not just about immigration - but Mutti Merkel actually helped the UK out.

The picture is of the RTAF A340. No Tupolevs involved. The Saab 340 mentioned refers to the Saab 340 AEW early warning aircraft.

You do come out with some crackers. Africa's own internal problems and violence have been ongoing since long before the EU even existed. Don't be so silly.

General public? Fudgespeak.

I just told ya!

No, I use a condom like a good caring citizen. Trouble is, when I sneeze it shoots off and sticks to the wall! ????

Once you've tried botty bonking you'll never get over the thrill - it's infectious!

The old Trump deflection again. Meanwhile, back at Newsweek.... https://www.newsweek.com/did-joe-biden-cheat-law-school-what-he-has-said-about-stupid-mistake-1708548

I'd like to say/shout that again.

Rather desperate to use Oliver as a "news" source - The TImes is right, he is totally irrelevant and largely forgotten in the UK, where his slow wit but high political bias on TV was exposed by his peers and rejected by traditional conservatives. Those Americans, who seem to enjoy the novelty of a British accent and left wing views, have taken to his so-called humour and he is obviously much more comfortable with his scripted political chat. Oliver now makes millions in the US - they like wasting money - at least he’s off UK TV.

How many cars did he hit coming the other way before you got out?

Four!

Several EU policies seem have been adjusted over the years - the Italians and Greeks could not bear this "burden" alone. The demonstrations in Ireland seem to have to do with migration of non-EU national migrants but by EU-internal arrangements, as Varadkar implied.

That'll be the upside down "house" innit?

The EU seems to be using the FOM pillar as a means to pressure members to share the burden of the larger number of non-EU migrants coming to Europe after 2015. Yes - I missed the data of this article from 'The Independent - not sure why it has been used. But the problems remain and are ongoing with these demonstrations now.

Beat me to it. Check/test again. Many people have (mild)fatty livers. Try more garlic, Omega-3, citrus. green veggies, turmeric and coffee.

Freedom of movement was not much of an issue when the EEC was up to 12 countries of similar status and culture. The article concerns burden sharing and in it Varadkar says about it: “an EU problem…that we all need to work together on”. Varadkar continued by saying that Ireland would play its role in the EU “burden sharing” of migrant arrival and transfer. The link site is St Antony’s College, Oxford; nothing to do with The Independent. That said, surprisingly, the date is not clear but the text and references indicate at least 2019.

It looks like the French waves are bigger, as they bid adieu and cheer off the rubber duck taxis leaving the beach at Plage de Strouanne. Bon Voyage! For RNLI call 999 or 112.

Brilliant! At the same time Ireland expects migrants to be a large percentage of an expected population jump of one million by 2040 (20%), (Project Ireland 2040), the Irish are already asking natives to leave! Many Irish citizens oppose this much migration and there have been several demonstrations already. The EU freedom of movement pillar is past its sell-by date. https://www.sant.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/dahrendorf_essay_maeve_moynihan.pdf

Nonsense. It's the French who are making it easier.

Hey, I was laughing! You are a funny guy! But seriously folks, this frivolity is way off topic.

Was already boring at No.5 - now totally tedious. Check! LMAO.

Why and how? Already explained - if you don't accept it ... up to you. Moreover, unless this 'fast track' procedure has compromised security what's the problem? Security is part of the problem with any accelerated vetting. The graph shows the rising trend in recent years. Is the cause of that not and human trafficking assisted by free movement within the Schengen Zone? If a border is open it is, by definition, easier to cross than one where controls operate. However, Germany has had an open border with all its' neighbours since 2007 - and to the West long before that - which predates Merkel's relaxing of restrictions. Again the numbers in recent years, especially since 2015, are far higher than in 2007. No real comparison. I strongly suspect that those attempting to reach the UK do so simply because it is the only country - for whatever reason - where they want to settle. To that end, for these people, what measures are taken in France, Germany or elsewhere is largely irrelevant; they will continue to try to reach the UK. Yes, especially while traffickers are allowed to operate in the EU.

I think some of it is for a new departure lounge.
