Agree, it's the undesirables we need to stop.Hong Kong is a former British territory full of highly educated people who have a similar world view, the more the merrier from HK.
Use the legal channels = no issue

The simple solution would be to turn the boats around back onto french soil however as soon as they're in the water they're almost certain to get picked up by the RNLI and ferried over to the UK and they know it. Last night the french equivalent stopped to offer help to a migrant boat whose engine was in trouble but they declined the offer and carried on regardless, its not clear if it was the same boat that later sunk.
The French govt of course, don't want them back on their soil its easier to shunt the problem on to someone else i.e. us.
Speaks volumes of the merits of the eu even those escaping for their lives want brexitBut why don't they want to stay in France or any of the multitude of European countries they've travelled through to reach the coast ? why can't we just adopt those same things that make staying in France unattractive, if there's no incentive to come here, there won't a be a problem of idiots thinking they need to compete in the Darwin awards to get here

This is the answer maybe not Africa I hear the South Sandwich Islands are niceWe can, it's called an equivalent Calais **** hole but located in Africa.

True make it an endless gameYou don't want it so remote that they stay there though if we're going to be footing the bill. In Africa they will probably flee back to the EU and we can play the EU at their own game of turning a blind eye when they do that journey unless France want to pay us to police the African border of which we couldn't feasibly do, due to its expanse.
Both France and Germany take significantlyBut why don't they want to stay in France or any of the multitude of European countries they've travelled through to reach the coast ? why can't we just adopt those same things that make staying in France unattractive, if there's no incentive to come here, there won't a be a problem of idiots thinking they need to compete in the Darwin awards to get here
And France and Germany are significantly bigger than the UK.Both France and Germany take significantly
more asylum seekers per year than we do in the UK, some just want to come to the UK quite often for language reasons other times for family connections etc etc

What's your point?
European Countries by Population (2021) - Worldometer (worldometers.info)Can you counter with an asylum seeker per land mass assessment? I'm keen to know!
My view is not finishing the job is what's caused the issues. We go in to a place, we don't finish the job, we leave them under-resourced, and we allow their old ways to return.
Afghanistan case in point. Fix it, or nuke it.
That's normally @FoxEye 's domain and he'll get grumpy at me for pointing it out again but that doesn't make it any less true. There are some extreme positions being taken in this thread - most threads actually in GD - and it's saddening that it's become the norm.I mean, we’re now advocating genocide? I think you need to have some time away from the internet.
If our government allowed safe and legal crossings
