£200million anti-migrant armada: New fleet of Border Force cutters and armoured JET SKIS will patrol Britain's coastline to stop asylum seekers crossing the Channel

Jet skis are set to be used as a new way to intercept migrants in the Channel

Officers will use them to spin boats around and escort them back to France

Priti Patel has ordered a major replacement of five ageing border patrol boats

The new vessels could be used to block dinghies from entering UK waters

The sum is on top of the £54million to be given to France for coastal patrols

Training is said to have taken place over the summer, with officials learning how to redirect migrants back to French waters using the high-powered armoured ‘personal water craft’....

... So far this year, around 14,500 have made the crossing – almost twice the 8,410 recorded in the whole of 2020....

They should have bazooka to sink any boat that refuses to turn back. It won’t take long before word gets around that it isn’t worth the risk.

Hopefully, the jet-skiers will be required to smoke cigarettes while in pursuit and will officially be referred to as "Smokers."

("Waterworld" reference)

If so, don’t believe him.

Don’t turn them around. Sink them , otherwise it’s just a game that they will play until they win.

More stupid window-dressing by the utterly useless (if you follow Daily Mail comments) UK home secretary Priti Patel (talk about putting the fox in charge of the hen house - like she’ll ever do anything about the millions of illegals from the Indian subcontinent).

Pushing the dinghies around with jet skis might work on a perfectly calm lake - in even the slightest seas, not so much. And that’s just the immediate practical problem. What they need to do is never let the illegals reach British soil. Transfer them to ferries on the sea, send them back to France - failing that, intern them on some rocky outcrop in the North Atlantic.

“UK home secretary Priti Patel (talk about putting the fox in charge of the hen house”

I don’t believe the EU permits ethnic Europeans to be involved in ‘immigration affairs’ anymore due to racism concerns, and she’s likely a pre-Brexit holdover.

Asylum seekers? Wasn’t there a dozen nation between their s holes and the UK? They wouldn’t be freeloading invaders hoping to leech off the system would they ?

No, she’s Boris the Clown’s post-Brexit pick. Most key cabinet positions are also held by Indians/Africans. Go figure.
