so if our politicians do not get a quick returns agreement from the French?
come summertime it's posable we could see hundreds of migrant boats crossing the English Chanel as they have in Greece,, this coupled with all the dogooders providing a ferry pickup service off French waters, we could be looking at a Sangatte in Dover Deal?

Only the Border Force vessels and the RNLI rescue people no "dogooders" are involved. As for a new Sangatte in Dover/Deal I will try to understand the logic of that.

Doubt it Keith Serbia has closed down the non visa deal with Iran, the Eritreans, Somalis etc in Northern France don't have a pot to pass water in let alone £3000 to pay the smugglers.

A lot of common sense spoken here by Tony Smith who used to be i/c Border Farce.

On the migrant count we're up to 797 so far this year, up to yesterday, known by the Home Office to have arrived in UK from 'small boat' (with or without assistance of Border Force 'taxi' service!
