The migrant mega dinghy is a national humiliation
A 49-foot boat carrying 230 illegal immigrants shows Labour is still failing to protect our borders.

The British media are deriving some morbid enjoyment from the scale of the vessel and the sheer number of passengers. The Sun informs readers 230 people is more than an average EasyJet flight can carry. The Daily Mail tells us that 230 passengers would exceed the capacity of a Boeing 737. In length, the boat is 10 feet longer than an average double-decker bus.
Reports suggest the immediate cost to the British taxpayer of the ‘mega-dinghy’ alone will be roughly £25million. Admittedly, this is a drop in the ocean to the nearly £3 billion the government is already spending each year housing illegal immigrants across Britain. But it is money the government does not have, spent on people who have no right to be here.
Thought experiment: would these boats stop if they were sunk, like German U-boats were sunk?
Obviously, telling them, 'please don't come on boats' doesn't work. Is it time to sink them?
Why must a sovereign government like Britain acquiesce to the business of criminal peope smugglers?
A warning shot overhead and if they don't turn around, sink them.
