Re: Nave Andromeda
It is reported that the family who were lost, paid the equivalent of £22,000 to be smuggled into the UK, so none of these people are poor. Yes I know it's a sad episode, but they were (apparently) warned not to board the boat because of the inclement weather, they were not in any danger in France and their priority should have been the safety of their children.

Re: Nave Andromeda
I see yesterday 11 migrants were found in Southampton, on a French cargo ship, why the hell have we allowed them to land, surely we should have made the master of the ship responsible, and sent the ship back to France, its where they know they got aboard. Some may not agree, but if they can stop passengers on cruise ships from going ashore, then they can stop immigrants from landing.Something has to give in this country, . be interesting to hear the views of ex skippers on site, kt

#63. Carried a stowaway from West Africa in the early 1960s he was not allowed to land in Australia , the ship was held responsible and had to pay his repatriation fees from where he came from , or he had to be retained on ship until sailing and were landed with the blighter until he died of old age.

Its the only solution i can see otherwise they will keep making the attempt to get to British soil Terry.
Terry, they printed the Dick Whittington story in every language East of Dover.

Re: Nave Andromeda
About two years ago some UK polis were out here to see how we manage border control.
I know we are an island continent but UK is also an island.
Obviously on the way back they lost the instructions on how to manage border control.
It is very simple, coast guard boats along the length and breath of the Channel, if you see a Froggy ship shoot it first and ask questions in the morgue.
It works for USA police so why not for you.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Nave Andromeda
I am becoming ashamed of being British.
80 Years ago we kept a Million German Troops and Panxer divisions from crossing the Channel to Invade us. We had Guts then.
Now we are governed and populated by whimps and pansies.
Rubber dingies and canoes are bringing unarmed moo slam Invaders in and we cannot stop them.
We are Pathetic.
These are Financed by Saudi to convert UK to their religion
They said on many times what they are doing but no one takes any notice.
We are being taken over,
our way of life is changing and will end.
The Killer in NICE yesterday who beheaded those people in a Church was an immigrant, only been in France six weeks from Tunisia.
The Manchester Arena bomber who killed 22 children and mutilated around 400 was an immigrant brought in from Libya by our Royal Navy.
No One Cares.
I despair for my granddaughters.
