Title: Poland/Belarus.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 11 November 2021, 19:30:48
Do you have an opinion on this, and do you think the outcome will have an impact on the UK?

A lot of those getting into Poland will soon be floating our way in a rubber dinghy and put up in a nice hotel at our expense!  ::)

Apparently over 1000 were brought into Dover in one day recently.  :-\

Occupants of 25 boats brought ashore today with up to 50 in each boat, so somewhere around the 1000 mark today by the sound of things.  >:(

I've seen a few commentators comparing Macron's lack of action against organised crime and the people traffickers, and Lukashenko's actions in sending migrants to Polish border. ie both exploiting people for political gain, albeit in different ways.

So when Ursula Von der leyonherback complains about Lukashenko, maybe she should look and see what's going on within her own borders...  ::)

I see Ukraine are tooling up to make sure the migrants go where they are meant too :-X

It looks like we have sent a few troops to help Poland secure the border.

It looks like the number is 10 so I can't see them making a huge difference.

Hopefully a very short border. :)

Perhaps I should check again.....I mean 10 is not even enough to make up a football team. ???

Ten squaddies are arguably more use than 10 Footballists...

However 10 do-gooder reservists less so.

They've been sent on a fact finding mission to find out how to secure borders.  :-X                                                                     ;D

Funny how they got all hysterical about Trumpy's wall, but the sight of lines of armed troops guarding a razor wire border in Eastern Europe doesn't seem to bother them?  ???  ::)  :-X

Oh, wait......ours doesn't work. :(

Looks like it's back to battlements and boiling oil.
Oh, wait......oil isn't eco friendly  :(

Looks like it's house them and give them benefits.

If they start shooting, we won't need to house them :-X

Once they are here, they are here.

The number that are returned is probably close to zero.

So, the French are selling immigrants to us, and we're not even putting import tax on them.  I thought they couldn't do that after Brexit.

I didn't vote for Brexit but I was told it would stop any 'dark foreign johnnies' from coming here..... ::)

The thing I find surprising is that these people haven't been floating across the channel for years?  :-\

Remember the Sangatte refugee camp near Calais?  That was 20 years or so ago now and I seem to remember them trying to get on lorries and such like but not taking to the high seas to get to Blighty.  ::)

We stopped them getting on the trucks/train, so they come by boat. If we stop them coming by boat they'll come over in gliders or hot air balloons. Stop them doing that and they'll fire themselves out of huge cannons.
You get the idea.

Spot on. And of course there are plenty of crooks to take migrants money and there is still an endlesssupply of boats.

The southern end of Spain is fighting a losing battle with drugs ( for all of Europe) coming in. That too is impossible to police. Lot of coastline.
