If we need young men to send to Ukraine or Gaza, they are more than welcome. Conveniently, they are already at the ports with all their worldly possessions and I would imagine, desperate to serve their new country.  |

"Utilise the Navy to turn them back"
The uk has around 11,000 miles of coastline, the Navy has 66 commissioned vessels.
If you deployed the entire navy to "patrol" the coast, that gives each vessel over 160 miles to monitor... obviously that's one dimensional. If they monitored just the first 10 miles out, they would need to observe 1,600 square miles of sea.
That doesn't actually sound achievable to me.

"Reports that official figures for the boat people are that 10,000 crossed so far this year. Of course many more cross in lorries etc.
What's to be done here? It's all over the news"
I wonder if stoping the wars would help?

You make drug trafficking from the continent sound like a viable proposition |

If Border Force and the RNLI are managing to pick them up, I’m sure the Navy will manage to turn them around. I’d argue it’s all about desire. Do we want thousands of military age men sponging off us or the French?
Baguettes all round, I reckon |

No! They're all here to work, integrate and pay their way. They're a net gain to the communities they'll move into. They're all educated professionals didn't ya know?  |
