Waitrose

So true

The reason the do gooders say we can't stop them is that for some reason they say it is against international law. Even if it were in some treaty or other which I seriously doubt we could simply withdraw from the treaty. Even if we didn't just who is going to enforce that law. If we decided to erect a gallows on the dock at Dover and proceeded to publicly hang all those we had picked up just who exactly is going to do anything about it apart from some hurty words.

There is no such thing as international law. Just what was legal about Trumps action against Iran? It was no more legal than the Ayatollahs executing their protestors. Possibly less so as they could at least claim the protestors had broken some national law for which the punishment was death.

We take the dingy boys in because our political leaders are virtue signalling plain and simple

Correct

That is enlightening and educational.  Let me see if I have got it right.

People from other countries can enter our country legally.  In fact, we go out into the Channel to help them.
Once here, we are obliged to house them, look after them in every way and even pay them money.
In order to help further we pay our friends, the French, to assist them and their boats on their way here.
It appears that we cannot award them citizenship for several years, though I'm not sure for how long.
Once awarded citizenship, they can vote and take part in the running of our country.

Please tell me that this is not the actual case, or confirm that I seem to understand the system.

(Yes, I know it's nowt to do with Waitrose).
