Tony Abbott an Australian ex-PM has recently told this Government how to stop the boats but they won't listen any more than Starmer listened to Trump with his advice of stopping these boats.
When Tony Abbott was elected as PM, Australia were struggling with illegal migrants attempting to come in under the radar. They made a decision that every single person not using the legal asylum route would never be allowed to stay in Australia. All migrant boats were apprehended and the passengers securely detained and not in comfy hotels. On the next available day with calm weather and in daylight, they were put back on the boat they had arrived on with enough fuel, food and water and sent back. He said they were criticised globally for using this method but as Abbott says, his first priority was to his Australian citizens so they ignored the uproar, which soon calmed down, and carried on with their scheme. It worked for them and I can't see why it wouldn't work for us. Unfortunately, nobody in Government has the balls to put the British people first so this farce will continue.
