And to think, the local association suspended me, and unlike Lee, I was joking.

Good job you have disguised yourself with a pseudonym although I bet you are still mistaken for Bob Frost sometimes.
Do nothing and nothing happens.

One hundred thousand! (Just below the population of Maidstone - the largest town in Kent)
More than 100,000 migrants appear to have crossed the Channel in the last five-and-a-half years since current records began.

It's ok though because the PM has it as one of his five things he's going to get done .

How can a Conservative flagship policy , with all the publicity , including a Govt minister stating everything safe on board, and up in this fiasco?.
I often wonder If the Conservatives are trying hard to make sure they don't get elected at next general election.

With their incompetence at the moment you could be right either that or there is a conspiracy to prove they could not run that well known proverbial booze up in a brewery..

Christ - that's much more important than people dying, eh? I can almost hear your little feet stamping up and down from here. But to quote from the article (OK, it IS the only the Mail):
In Dover people were seen being stretchered off a lifeboat and surrounded by paramedics as urgent medical treatment was given - although most of those pulled from the sea were picked up by French vessels and returned to France.
I'm proud of whatever efforts were made on the UK side to save these people's lives.

Do try looking at the facilities at Calais Community Hospital compared to Buckland Ray.

Meanwhile in Calais:-
Centre Hospitalier de Calais has integrated its services within its new premises in a large park. This modern Hospital has 502 beds and has been specifically designed for easy access for patients and visitors. There is a direct slip road from the highway, parking for 350 cars, and the entrance leads to an aesthetically relaxing lobby with large modern spacious hallways and a cafeteria. In terms of comfort, the new hospital has mostly private rooms, with en suite bathrooms, all attractively decorated to a high standard of comfort.
The new hospital facility boasts the latest technological innovations and offers the most up to date multi-media terminals. It also has first class technical equipment including MRI, CT and digital resources. Centre Hospitalier de Calais has a large number of medical and surgical disciplines within the hospital and specialist consultations. It works closely with the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Lille, sharing practitioners, facilities and overall expertise. For all peri-natal activities, the Centre Hospitalier de Calais is available 24 hours for all conditions and requirements relating to mother and child. It also has 24 hour cover for surgical procedures following trauma, abdominal surgery, urology and ENT emergencies with two anaesthesia nurses on site for all surgical and obstetrical operations. Endoscopies are performed for pulmonary and hepato-gastroenterology and ENT procedures and recently the hospital has also introduced two new specialties : plastic and reconstructive surgery and vascular surgery. Centre Hospitalier de Calais has adult and paediatric emergency facilities in addition to provision for young adults (children under 15 years old).

I know both facilities very well and have no need of your cribbed descriptions.
So your initial outrage concerned the fact that the UK side did it's bit when medical facilities in Nord-pas-de Calais are so superior? More deflection, more BS.
TWD did readers a favour in introducing that wonderfully appropriate term Schrodinger's Douchebag.

Yes. Very profound. And witty. Oh and, by the way, I don't have a cat.
