It is a rich irony, that the UK will have to agree with the EU, not just France, any future migration policy here.

By invitation almost, the UK would be ceding actual control of its borders to the EU, after all the brexit duffers promised.

EU migrant spotting planes in the Channel, Patel & Co are an incompetent blustering bunch of fools.

And the UKs brexit looking risible from any point of view.

When the refugees are in France, boarding boats, how is that Britain's problem? Some common sense required here, which the spiteful little French don't have. Obviously France doesn't want any more immigrants. Is it Britain's responsibility when I travel from Ireland because I want to go there? Perhaps just ask everyone in Africa, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey where they would like to go and give them the keys? I quite fancy Canada actually.

Red and Blue Army!

Yes, many other European countries are 'nearly there' but the UK hasn't been pulling its weight at all and the numbers clearly show that fact.

Pro China, EU & Palestine

It is looking like the migrants may have called for help before drowning and were refused by both countries.

That would surely be against maritime law as well as appalling and unconscionable.

I don't think I would take the word of a Britain hater for that.

This country's population density is higher than France or Germany. We have also been taking more immigrants and for far longer than anyone else.

Right now I am not convinced that the UK government really wants to solve this issue.

The proposals it makes via such as leaked letters on social media amount to little more than d##k swinging and popular posturing rather than practical solutions that might actually work.

But saying that I do not see an appetite across France to do much either.

Maybe a case of A curse on both your houses
