Priti Patel issues orders to turn them boats around

[JamesWales]

You can move this fcker over to the non-football board asap so we can all forget about it. Fckin embarrassing. some of the retrobates on here.

People have different opinions about it.

On the one hand, it's allowing desperate people to leave France to come to the UK.

On the other its facilitating a global human trafficking programme that is one of the most obnoxious trades on earth.

The reality is it's both, but people should be able to talk about it without people shutting it down.

Personally, I think it's right to rescue people from warzones - we evacuated thousands from Afghanistan, and it's right to have a liberal immigration programme, but you cant just turn up and enter a country from another safe one. That isn't right, however much you want it.

so target the criminals, not the victims.

its ****ing shameful and Patel needs to have a long period of introspection.

They are targeted.

But one of the ultimate ways to stop crime is to make it less profitable. Thats all it is. Its a trade in people who want to go to another country.

The naivity is incredible.

There are ways to help those in desperate need in the world. This isnt it.
