2,900 EU boat migrants in 10 days – when will the EU take them back?

The moment the weather cleared after the PM’s boasts, the surge resumed

The EU must be called to account over its export of another 10,500 illegal migrants to the UK

Just over 10 days ago Rishi Sunak boasted about a reduction in illegal migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats. He did so while the weather in the Channel was preventing crossings. Now the weather has improved it has exploded again.

Brexit Facts4EU.Org presents the latest data on the numbers and asks when the government will call the EU to account.

'The Independence Documentary'

Together with our partners at CIBUK.Org, we've organised a TV-style documentary with a stellar line-up of well-known politicians and all kinds of interesting people, young and old, men and women, white and ethnic origin, presented by Alexandra Phillips. Alex will be known to many readers as an ex-GB News presenter and a frequent sight on everything from Question Time to Talk TV. We start filming this month, if we can get some extra funding. This is going to be big!

The source of this is the EU

Currently President Macron has refused to negotiate on the return of his illegal migrants departing French shores, saying that it is a matter for the EU.

The EU Commission has so far not engaged with the UK government on this issue.

Observations

All illegal migrants in small boats come from the EU

It might be said that the refusal of the EU Commission to allow the repatriation of its illegal immigrants from the United Kingdom back to France – whence they came – is not an act of neighbourly co-operation, enshrined in the Withdrawal Agreement.

We would go further and say this is typical of the hostile attitude of the EU Commission’s unelected Eurocrats since the British people voted to leave the EU, in the largest exercise of UK democracy in history.

The UK has thrown hundreds of millions of pounds to France to pay for its border force on the northern coast. (One might ask why.) Yes, there have been some efforts by the gendarmes, but they are clearly not enough.

As a result of the intransigence of Emperor Macron and the EU Commissariat, the UK is now spending hundreds of millions more on the Rwanda plan. This is currently held up in the Remainer House of Lords and the Courts of Justice and looks unlikely to come to fruition any time soon.

If the EU simply agreed to take back its illegal migrants the problem would be solved overnight.

Whilst all are debating the 'who, where, when and how' of irregular immigration and the asylum system there appears to be an 'elephant' that no one is addressing.
.
My questions to politicians are:
Have You Wondered how many immigrants can the UK physically accommodate and what happens when that number is reached?
Have You Wondered how many immigrants can the UK economically accommodate and what happens when that number is reached?
Have You Wondered are those criteria a reality already?
Have You Wondered if social unrest and all that entails, will beat the inept political resolution?

As long as the weak-willed, treacherous, backstabbing remoaner/rejoinder UK government are happy enough to keep throwing British taxpayers cash at the EU, more so France, this will never cease! It's a cheap & easy way to keep extorting cash from this here 'Treasure Island' at very little or indeed zero cost or effort to themselves. After all, only our self-centred, against the UK people political 'elite' would be happy enough to keep paying someone else to do nothing & for zero return.
It's been said on this platform by many people, many times, stop pandering & paying those who are NOT our friends, like parliament prefer to term it, stop or suspend EU fishing boat licenses, French boats in particular &, if the EU are still demanding us to pay a ''divorce bill', then, for each & every illegal migrant that reach's UK shore's, then, deduct say, £1 million from this 'divorce bill' per migrant. Cut off the cash flow, reduce their seafood industry, hurt them where it'll cause the most 'pain'!
They've never played nice nor gone by the 'rules', WA, WF & the like, towards us, not that it was ever going to happen but, it's way, way long overdue that the UK acted in EXACTLY the same way towards the EU & France as they've been to us. It's way over time to stop trying to be 'nice' & TELL them it's this way only & if it's not liked, tough s***! But, we all know that 'we' won't as it's not the polite way to behave! Sickening.

The mad government of the (dis)UK continues to pay the French millions to stop the crossings. Not only are they clearly not stopping the crossings. Due to the amount coming over daily, the French must be facilitating the crossings.

2 Mike s.
It looks exactly as you say.
It's very much as if the UK gov are still in cahoots and taking orders from the EU.
Plough the UK full of illigal dangerous immigrants and let the people suffer.
If the UK Gov were strong and independent they would have stopped this by now.
The Uk Gov has many, many options to fix the illigal boat crossing, As well as all the other things that are wrong in the country.
The reality is they won't fix it.
They are not exercising their strength in many areas because they are weaklings that still answer to the EU.
This is all planned out, its not just a matter of, oh, what ever can we do about this. The Uk Gov are complicit.
If we had a real, strong government they would use their powers to repair what is broken. The Uk Gov could deal severe blows to the EU, particularly to the french if they wanted to. As ever its the EU that deals out punishment to the UK who must just accept it.

Simple way to stop the boats. Revoke all EU fishing licenses.
The EU and the French will go into meltdown but make it clear to them, until the boats stop, no fishing in UK waters.
The French fishing boats, with nothing to do, can now patrol the coast.
I can guarantee within a week all migrant boats would stop.
Have we a government who would have the 'courage' to do this? Not a chance.

6. Northern Muppet , Wednesday, June 21, 2023, 15:18:

I think you have a very valid point there, Mike T!!
.
Do I think that Fishi Rishi would even consider such a brave move??
.
Of course he wouldn't! He'd probably offer to pay the wages of the french fisherhumans to help to paddlers across!
.
As I've said before - the government WANT this influx. They think that this will solve their problems!

7. RW52 , Wednesday, June 21, 2023, 15:26:

Vote REFORM UK and stop the boats...The only way is to ditch the ECHR.

5 Mike T … I love tit-for-tat politics.
