Re: Damn French (Contributing to border security)

As Tessa says, we are leaving the EU and should be looking after ourselves so rather than giving France more money, we should be stopping it completely and putting our own controls in place. After all, France's efforts didn't work too well.

I have a few French relatives I have to say they are embarrassed at it all. If they could vote out of eu they would. It seems politicians in many countries are very out of touch with voters.

Re: Damn French (Contributing to border security)

Hi

No Country is under any obligation to stop people leaving.

It is our responsibility to stop people entering and enforce our own Border.

We are absolutely rubbish at this and Theresa May has been responsible for huge cuts when she was Home Secretary.

We also have the right, as members of the EU, so send those we catch here back to France.

Theresa May has consistently refused point blank to do this.

Absolutely Swim, some of what we blame the EU for has been down to our Government either not standing up for us or not doing their job properly.

I keep reading the title of the thread as dawn French

But you are right swim. So we need to get serious and make the powers that be do their jobs.

An excellent idea!
