  • A small inflatable boat inches its way across the Channel, towards the coast of England. On board the crowded dinghy are 14 migrants relying on God to keep them safe during this perilous but long awaited journey. For three weeks, two AFP teams followed Walid, a Kuwaiti, Falah, an Iraqi, and his two daughters from the town of Grande-Synthe in northern France to Dover in the south of England via the choppy waters of the Channel.

    Do not buy their attempt to emotionally connect with you, the viewer. Look at the bigger picture. These people have chosen to put themselves in this predicament. We must defend our shores.

      Why do you think they've chosen to take a risk like that? Maybe something to do with the conditions in their own countries that put them more at risk than the dangerous channel trip perhaps?

    Take away their benefits and charge them for their stay and they will stop coming. Tell them that whilst here, they will rack up a bill that's got to be paid back. This would be a vote winner in my opinion.

    Not our problem they pay and choose to get into the boats and we chose not to let them land so get the Navy the air force and the drones can see where they are and we do choose to let them land

  • @alexb5815
    @alexb5815 Před 2 lety +2

    Solution: 1 Call a state of emergency like Poland, 2. Offshore all processing so they do not set foot in the U.K. but the decisions are make elsewhere, like Australia did.
    3. Make it clear that we do not welcome immigrants like Denmark did as the current perception is everyone stays and is taken care of even of forever
    4. Once the boarder is closed it will give breathing space for anyone in the country to processed and repatriated.
    5. Tighten the rules on public money spent by human rights lawyers who aim to delay just deportations
    If you don’t have borders you do not have security. MPs need to be forced to do something - letters and emails

    Probably more sailors drown sailing from Cowes, than migrants crossing in their thousands from France.
    Just check the weather and here they come.
