Episode notes
One In One Out Deal Ineffectiveness
- The "one in, one out" migrant return deal clears only about 6% of weekly Channel crossings.
- Vast majority of migrants who cross illegally remain, making the deal ineffective as a deterrent.
Farage's Channel Boat Coverage
- Nigel Farage observed a boat with 78 migrants handed over from French to UK authorities.
- The French Navy even asked for the migrants' life jackets back to reuse on future crossings.
Enforce 100% Illegal Migrant Removals
- The Conservatives would impose 100% removals without judicial appeal for illegal Channel migrants.
- This mirrors Australia's successful deterrent policy which stopped crossings quickly.
