No risk? Any parent who puts a life of a child at risk for an unnecessary trip in an overloaded dinghy, sailing illegally across one of the busiest shipping lanes on earth, should be questioned about their parenting decisions at the very least. Your point about resources should be extrapolated across the entire concept of just doing very little to deter them in the first place, given the state of the UK at the moment.

This aged well (over the last week)

The concept is a fair one. The reality is as you say, there are not the resources to achieve this remotely safely. Kind of like flirting around the edges whilst tens of thousands of men just waltz into the country.

The UK can't cope overall, but still we do little to stop them coming.

Reckon he will ditch the stupid formation, we will come out swinging and we will win 3-1 Be a bit ropey at the back at times, hanging on at the end etc.

Quarshie?

The Home Secretary “pulled every leaver” to return him back to a country where no formal returns agreement exists. he even wanted to re-start his asylum claim, but he went anyway. Where there is a will……..

People are blaming him because the buck stops with him. kind of how it works

Ah, so when the political will is there, almost anything is possible.

Sturrock was shite. Look who he managed before and since. rarely, if ever, does a league 1 level manager jump 2 divisions and succeed. it is like West Ham appointing Phil Parkinson this summer. Never ever going to succeed

if managers are recruited on the strength of the reaction of SaintsWeb, then we a more tinpot than I could imagine. otherwise, who cares if some would have been disgruntled. No one would care if we were in the top 6

Given how quickly he has been deported since being found, why wasn’t this level of enthusiasm there to deport him in the first place.

Just a daily occurrence. At least she was not stabbed to death https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/37155231/migrant-assaulted-women-delivery/

He'll be out on loan to Bournemouth soon enough.

Pellegrino Fucking hell, forgot about him. We have had some horrors. Pellegrino, Sturrock, Wigley.....Jesus

Have a look for yourself, it is all available online.

Lets not, in a globalised world of today.

And Canada, and Australia, and any other developed nation not in Europe

it could allow the country to do many things, good or bad.

If the country wanted to do it, it could. What it allows 'me' to do is irrelevant.

As do most of the word outside of the this continent.

but not impossible. Well, impossible for our politicians from any party

Lets see what ChatGPT thinks (headline items). Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) would not be easy for the UK — legally possible, but politically and constitutionally very complex. Here’s a breakdown of what’s involved 👇 ⚖️ 1. Legal Mechanism Under Article 58 of the ECHR, any member state can withdraw by: Giving six months’ notice to the Council of Europe (not the EU — they’re different), After which, the UK would no longer be bound by the Convention. So, technically it’s simple — just a formal notification. But the consequences are far-reaching. 🏛️ 2. Domestic Legal Impact The Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) incorporates the ECHR into UK law. If the UK left the ECHR: Parliament would likely need to repeal or rewrite the HRA. UK courts would no longer be bound to interpret laws in line with ECHR rights. People could no longer appeal to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. That would create a major constitutional shift, especially in how fundamental rights are enforced domestically. 🧩 3. Impact on Devolution Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland all have devolved settlements that explicitly reference the ECHR: The Good Friday Agreement (1998) requires the ECHR to be incorporated into Northern Irish law. Leaving the ECHR could breach that international treaty and destabilize the Northern Ireland peace process. Scotland’s and Wales’ devolved governments would strongly oppose leaving, possibly sparking constitutional tension. 🌍 4. International and Political Fallout The UK would become the only European country (apart from Belarus and Russia) outside the ECHR system — a major reputational hit. It could strain relations with allies, especially the Council of Europe, EU, and NATO members. Could also affect extradition, law enforcement, and security cooperation (many treaties assume ECHR compliance). 🗳️ 5. Political Reality While some politicians (especially on the right) have floated withdrawal, there’s no broad parliamentary majority for it. The Lords, devolved governments, and much of the legal establishment would fiercely resist. The public reaction would likely be mixed, but polling suggests many still support keeping ECHR rights.

This, is good news

We can change pretty much what we like. Everything is a political choice. Many of said choices that we were told were never an option will creep in anyway as this Government gets more f-ing desperate. We all know their 'silver bullet' will be just to grant anyone and everyone who wants it, asylum. Then that will get exposed for what it is and they get slammed anyway. As for the problem on the ground, again all choices. The Government could choose to make the UK an unattractive destination, ie reduce the pull factor. Make it impossible for Deliveroo to hire these people, or go big on the ridiculous number of cash-only barbers on every corner, or any other obvious things. Declare that if you enter the country illegally you will never ever be granted the right to remain. Do not give them tickets to Chelsea, or the fun fair, or mobile phones, or paid for taxi service to go shopping/doctors/where ever they want. Any of them who commit any sort of crime are immediately deported (those that can)......All choices. One thing is for sure, Digital ID will do jack shit.
