Almost 1,000 migrants crossed the Channel yesterday.

Congratulations Fried Green Tomatoes Tribe!

The best way to close down a thread, or turn it into an echo chamber is to form a gang … very playground bully IMO.

Still waiting to hear from Jasper about the payoff.

Go for it FriedGeenTomatoes. The echo chamber etc already exists on here, and they’re not in your gang.

Good Morning Mollygo, Sorry I'm not clear what it is you are asking? Thanks

Really, it is utterly beyond me. Where does it come from this nonsense, this hatred, this prejudice?

And what's the pay off?

I’m asking the same question you asked.

Sorry totally confused now. Have a nice afternoon.

Sorry totally confused now. Have a nice afternoon.

I was confused by your post too and now doubly confused as your own post confuses you too.
As you say. Have a nice afternoon.

It’s just a bit of fun around a comment made😃 there’s no bullying involved if that’s your worry, join in with a

Ah just banter then! No thanks.

Blimey, what is wrong with a bit of banter and humour!

Nothing, except when you don’t like it.

Have I missed something?

Who is trying to close down the thread ?

Nothing wrong with being concerned about who and why people are arriving in small boats…

I'm not sure what was achieved at the French/Italian meeting on Friday. Apparently Barnier said the Albanian set up wouldn't work for France, I think because of legal reasons. However, both countries will continue to clamp down on migrants coming across the border. I've seen police walking up and down the train from Nice to Ventimiglia (7km from the border), but that seems about as effective as nonchalantly asking me at the ferryport in Caen if I have any immigrés in my car! Why don't they get real, I'm getting fed up.

Another 3 deaths by drowning this morning, just off the French coast. An overcroweded small boat of 50+.
Apparently, the mayor of Calais is protesting loudly that the French government is just turning a blind eye to what is going on.
