No she can under law change it its our waters every country has different /unique maritime laws in its own waters rules Greece has done this to Turkey .

There is a longer story line hear ,France wanted more money form us , they go it , we asked to set up a joint process on French land France said no , France now says its because of bugger boats instead of small dingy that has caused the increase in numbers , surely its easier to spot large boats .

I think one need to take away the hatred of a Tory or Priti Patel and see under the real issues , is France doing a bit of feet dragging or looking for some other concession because of Brexit , this is called politics and lets be fair the French are never going to want to fix this as it unloads some burden , it seems Patel is constantly in negotiations with French counterparts , this discussions fails and we get his type of hard ball , this is the tactics most countries / organisations use including unions to up the anti of negotiations and make a headline ??

My view is asylum seeking should be done at the point of fleeing a country at the first border reached .
