    Getting rid of drones

    Paul seems obsessed by it, six of his last eight posts have been complaining about the Brexit thread. I don't understand that censorial attitude, this world is full of things I don't like, so I just ignore them, knowing that others do like them. .

    Then why didn't the French pick them up? They also have a coastguard rescue service and a volunteer lifeboat service, so as the first to spot them they should have acted. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    These "pour souls" were on dry land and in many cases safely in the African countries they've come from.
