I see from the TV news channels that they’ve woken-up to the silent invasion taking place down south the ways. I also note that their form of reporting this invasion is so similar to their reporting of those recent ‘predominantly peaceful riots’ as, contrary to wot we can see with our own eyes, these folk ‘risking their lives on this perilous journey’ are reportedly predominantly pregnant women and young children.
Perilous journey? I would suggest that, given recent and present conditions and from wot we see of the boats and the kit being worn, this crossing is anything but perilous. Hell, on occasion folk swim it for fun do they not?
And a final observation from a cranky old man; why do these TV ‘news’ outlets finish their ‘reporting’ when the folk are plucked from their little boats bobbing on a storm lashed sea? Wot happens next? Where are these folk? Which hotels? Wot investigation is done on these fellows? How many and how quickly are any returned to whence they came? How many get to stay? Stay where? Hotels for ever**? Wot type of visa are they given? I know that if you get a leave to remain visa, legitimately, it states on my little nest of vipers that the holder has no recourse to public funds so wot are these channel paddlers who get to stay going to live on/off? Us?
**Is this why Mr Bo-Jangles has relaxed planning permissions so’s to quickly empty the hotels and house our newest bestest ever friends?
So few questions; so many ‘investigative’ journalists.
A solution? Priti, please pay attention: With the downturn in offshore oil activity, I’m betting there are quite a few crew change choppers looking for work so how about this; the navy picks ‘em up, brings ‘em ashore then coach ‘em to the closest airstrip and chopper ‘em straight back to France. It’d cost a fraction of wot it’s all presently costing and customers wanting to pay for a day out ‘perilous’ dingy ride and chopper ride straight back would dry-up PDQ. JD.
Alternatively, do nothing, let ‘em keep rolling up by any means and in a few years let the French face the same problem only it’ll be boat loads of wypipo escaping the escalating carnage in the UK.

They do say that prevention is better than cure, so I have a simple 3 step plan which would put them off the idea.
1 - Send out naval destroyers to patrol British waters and spot the dinghy. Wait until the dinghy enters British waters.
2 - Open fire and sink said dinghy with occupants on board. Also sink the French vessel escorting it if they start complaining.
3 - Note the direction any survivors start swimming in. I'll bet it wouldn't be in this direction.
This ingenious, simple plan would also create many jobs in the dying ship building industry for said destroyers, and I think its worth me being nominated for the Queen's Award for Industry. Bet you wish you'd thought of that eh Mac? Mind you, who would pick the fruit?
Ripper,
A tad drastic but it'd sure work and and if I can find the address, I'll be happy to endorse your nomination.
As for fruit, no loss to me as fruit don't contain enough fat...
