Remember when Mounts was holding back the tide? No, lads, keep your powder dry! Play the long game. Let’s not be the ones to jump the gun, celebrate too soon.

Mounts Kipper Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 EU have finally let the iron mask slip and it isn’t a pretty sight, thankfully enough Brits saw through the mask and were brave enough to make the call despite the threats, fear mongering and racist cat calls from the screechers, traitors and assorted fruit bats. The world can now see what they are all about, the visionaries saw it many many years ago. Thankfully we have our country back. Quote

But even then he can’t really say much as there isn’t anything he can criticize the government for which in reality is all he does. Adds zero value. At least old jezza was entertainment this Cunt just prattles on In his boring monotone nasal whine. Quote
Spider Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) They’ve looked like proper weapons over the vaccines. Interesting though that this “border” with Ireland was the immediate go to for them. That could get interesting in the future. Its time we gave the North back to Sinn Fein now. Eradicate the issue once and for all. Edited January 30, 2021 by Spider Quote

Until we start shooting these dinghies in the Channel they'll sadly keep coming. Its been a problem for years. I've said for ages, send the navy out and drown a few thousand of them, they'll soon stop coming. We've been to soft for years Oh dear. It’s a no from me. Quote

I reckon you'd only need to take out five or six of them before the message got through. If we do nothing, then they'll just keep coming. The dinghies/rafts they come over on are often overloaded and not sea worthy, so even trying to turn them back doesn't work, and if we do turn them back, they just try again the next evening. I'm not sure it would sit well worth anybody, but it might be the only thing we can do to stop these people trying to make this dangerous trip. It might also ultimately help the French, as if the migrants know they won't get to the UK then they might not bother travelling up through France in the first place Edited January 30, 2021 by Sweep Quote

I think that had the desired effect possibly. Pretty sure it turned around 😁 Quote

Some never set off because the hauliers weren’t prepared to pay all the extra fees and risk lorries being stuck. They’ve plenty business without losing some to the UK. Quote
