Re: This is the EU in the year 2020.
Hi
The return them to the last country they came through is EU Law.
We are no longer in the EU, just in transition so from January 1st it no longer applies to the UK.
Under International Law they are ours and ours alone to deal with.
I have made this point many times.
We don't return them anyway, our choice not to, so nothing really will change and that is entirely our fault.
We do not pay the EU Millions to stop them crossing the Channel.
We pay France millions to have our Border Posts in France, this is not an EU agreement, it is one we have solely with France.
We stop a lot of illegals in France and give them back to the French.
Unfortunately we do not check every vehicle at Border Control on France, our decision not to, a cost saving, so many get through.
It is our Border and our job to police it, not the French or anyone elses job.
We are not doing it.
It is not the EU who are threatening us, it is the French.
France has the most to lose from fishing rights.
It is a huge political issue in France, particularly in the Channel Ports and Macron is protecting his own.
Take away our Fishing rights and I will move the Border back to the UK,
He can do this with 6 Months Notice and we cannot stop him.
We have two new huge Aircraft Carriers at a cost of £6 Billion, excluding planes, which are neither use nor ornament and are eating up so much of our Naval Budget we cannot afford enough Fisheries Protection Vessels or Coast Guard vessels.
This nothing at all to do with the EU, it is our own stupidity.
I am really looking forward to the end of this year, because our Politicians will have nowhere to hide and will no longer be able to blame the EU.
