So, imagine that the Royal Navy intercepts rubber dinghies. Fantastic. Next step. Now these refugees are on board of the HMS Interceptor. Good. Can they stay there? Is the Royal Navy going to keep them there? No, of course not. So, they bring them to British soil. That is exactly where these refugees wanted to be.attofishpi wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2024 1:18 pm To think that The British Navy is powerless to stop rubber dinghies from INVADING British soil is farcical.
So, no, no, let's bring them back to the French. Will that work? No, because the French will say that these people are not French, that they do not belong in France, and that there is no treaty that obliges France to accept undocumented aliens from the Royal Navy. By the way, they could also have come from Belgium, Holland, Spain, or Germany. Who even said that they tried to cross from France?
So, what next?
Next, the Royal Navy is sick and tired of intercepting dinghies in the Channel and feeding and housing refugees on their warships because that is not what they are for. Henceforth, they simply fail to detect them. The Admiralty in London is surprised. The Royal Navy does not even find these dinghies anymore. So, they report to Downing Street 10 that in a good month they manage to intercept one or two dinghies, not more.
