Nope because so many cross those nice EU countries despite forced vaccination etc to get here.

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.

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

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...

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.
