    UK Paying France £54M to take back control over their own borders


    By having them controlled by France
    After paying £28.2m to France last November

    Maybe someone should tell the government it's cheaper to outsource the border to India. I'm sure Rishi Sunak could help them with that.

    The French don't seem to have any control of their own borders, so one wonders why the UK govt has paid them £54m to stop people leaving France. It wouldn't surprise me if the French went out and spent the whole lot on more boats...
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      And when quizzed on the number of migrants arriving in the UK just said 'Whoopsie, our bad. Sorry not sorry'

        We probably need to get some landing craft and drop them off on the beaches.

          Indeed so that they can simply return again.

              At least for those illegal immigrants who report themselves at a police station.

                Cheaper to stop them leaving than to deal with them arriving.
                And 54m... we were paying that every day pre-Brexit i heard.

                  Indeed it would be.

                  However stopping the pull factors is even cheaper. If you come from France your asylum application will be refused.

                  Even Macaroon isn't that bad you can claim asylum.

                    We're trying our best to make the UK undesirable, it's just not working.
