The Royal Navy, RNLI and I suspect you are different to the migrants in that you have had training and know how to ensure that the equipment is serviceable and in a safe condition, where as the migrants are not likely to be so well skilled. You / RN and RNLI are aware of maritime navigation...

flecc, I said in post 76 above that we are obliged to rescue them. The migrants know that people will risk their lives to save them, that's why they do it. I suspect that they embark on the crossing knowing that they are unlikely to make it across unless another person puts their life in...

I must watch that. I like Laura Kunensberg.

1/ Yes I am aware that the people in the boats have not been constructed from cardboard. 2/ Illegal entry into the UK is a criminal offence. 3/ I don't break the speed limit. 4/ Yes, despite deliberately getting into a totally unsuitable, ill equipped boat and entering one of the busiest...

Cutting through crap which your message is encased in, certain facts remain: 1/ They are not fleeing danger or persecution. 2/ They are attempting a criminal act, which is to enter the UK illegally. (Criminal Attempts Act). 3/ They have boarded a boat and entered one of the busiest shipping...

Why go to sea in the first place? I'm talking about the latest criminal attack on the UK by migrants trying to cross the channel by small boat. France is a safe country, so I'm affraid the refugee card won't work. In fact it stopped working years ago when the word refugee was high jacked and...

BREXIT seems to be enjoying a seven point lead, if you can believe the polls. I definitely sense support for leave in this area, with lots of leave posters. In fact I haven't seen one supporting remain. Even the farmers that I have spoken to want out, which surprised me. One old farmer said to...

I didn't say that everyone would be firing Trident missiles. You imply that I said they would be used as an act of aggression, which I didn't. Also, no other EU country has Trident, so we can't ALL be firing them around. Why are you saying these things? I said that if the uk faced invaision...

I recorded Top Gear and watched some of it today at lunch time. I ended playback 20 minutes in and cancelled the Series Link. I tired to approach it with an open mind and a willingness to give it a chance, but Top Gear has become a poor imitation of the original show. I know that opinion over...

Both options, Leave or Stay are a step into the unknown. I am saying that you can't predict what will happen if we leave, you can guess but that is all. Your forecast is no more certain than any other prediction. My guess is that we can maintain a friendly and peaceful relationship with Europe...

I don't know if the same will happen to us if we leave the EU and neither do you.

1 and 2 won't happen. Dave Cameron is just saying these things to frighten you. It's like the Boggey Man when you were a child.

I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

I think there is a lot of truth in the above. I'm not sure that Brexiters don't care about the economy, I think they do. But they can see the risks to the economy don't outweigh the long term risks to the UK as a whole by remaining part of the failing EU and eventually getting dragged down with it.

Beautiful morning in Derbyshire. The garden is growing and the hedge cutter blades are sharp. I'm a bit worried about chopping where the birds are nesting. Is it too early, should I give them a couple of weeks longer....flecc?

No, we are sliding backwards in the failing EU experiment, so the way forwards is to leave. It was worth trying, it hasn't worked, move on. It's daft to persist with something which clearly doesn't work. If we do vote to leave, expect all sorts of concessions to appear on the table to keep us.

I'm almost in agreement with you (and what fluid says), except I think the way forward is to vote OUT.

What about Bill Middleton & Harry Hewitt?

Have they only just twigged that this will happen? Why is it that these idiots are always at least 12 months slower to realise what is happening than the general population? If the UK votes to leave, other countries are going to want their chance to get out. There is much unreported discontent...

There is nothing for the uk to feel guilty about. These people should be immediately turned around and swiftly delivered back to the point of origin.
