Great shame the UK government fail to act in a similar way. They would sooner up taxes to pay for these illegals to be put up in hotels. Total cowards, frightened of their paymasters, the unions. Gun boats placed at the 12 mile limit with orders to shoot to puncture the boat, unless it is turned around. A forceful deterrent is the only language the illegals understand. One boat sunk and a few lives lost, but billions of £s saved. Yes, I know, I'm a cruel b*****d!
