benson gcw we used to be able to return them to France as we were part of the EU. Britain can no longer return Channel migrants to France because of Brexit, Lord Cameron has indicated. The Foreign Secretary said a migrant returns agreement with France to help break up smuggling gangs and stop people making the perilous journey across the Channel was “simply not possible”. He said “the situation we’re in” meant a deal that was in place when he was Prime Minister to send migrants back to France when they landed in Britain could not be replicated. Asked whether this was because of Brexit, he said: “Because of the situation we’re in, because of the attitude of others and all the rest of it.” The pre-Brexit Dublin Agreement allowed the UK to return migrants to “safe” EU countries where they should have claimed asylum if they had passed through them. This was scrapped under Brexit and has not been replaced.
Along_the_Wire gcw I’m afraid the bloke is a self-serving fucking cunt. Pre-Brexit, net immigration was 250k - look at the fucking state of it now? It’s his fault as much as anything else, it’s brilliant mouthing off soundbites when you don’t have to be accountable for any of it.
gcw Along_the_Wire yes absolutely agree, that’s why it felt a bit odd to be agreeing with some of the statements he was making in isolation
gcw Millsy lol I wonder what the maximum sovereignty is? Deep and extreme sovereignty? Armageddon sovereignty perhaps?
Dubman He’s a massive cunt of the highest order. He likes to throw fireworks to creative mischief. Then steps back as he knows full well he hasn’t got a chance of getting in power. Take Brexit where he’s now saying it hasn’t worked because it’s not his Brexit. It’s always someone else’s fault.
gcw Can’t stand all that stuff, regardless of your opinion of a politician, they shouldn’t be subjected to that. Can imagine how many brain cells the woman who’s done that has, it won’t be a lot
Along_the_Wire gcw Do you live in Britain? That bloke is luckily be hasn’t had a massive fucking hiding, let alone some milkshake. He’s dispicable and deserves everything he gets.
