I dont remember them stating "there wont be anymore boats" Please could you explain how the UK government can stop people leaving France in small boats? I wonder why are people so focused on people arriving by small boats............the structural problems in this country are not due to...

I blame the government It was Keir Starmers free tickets to Taylor Swift that caused it :ROFLMAO:

I am pleased that you agree that 93% of those arriving by small boats are here legally May I ask why you are so focused on the 7%? which is 2060 people to put it into context: in 2023 there was net migration of 685,000 in 2023 there were around 800,000 people who had overstayed their visas

the "you just have to believe harder" mantra was born because brexit was sold for emotive reasons not technical or factual.

So we do agree that 93% of them are not illegal then? yes, fair point, although you have been making the case in previous posts today they are illegal

I have already pointed out that is not the case It isn't illegal to seek asylum, because seeking asylum is a legal process. It also isn't illegal to be refused asylum – it just means you haven't been able to meet the very strict criteria to prove your need for protection as a refugee...
