    Farage is out there saying what the vast majority say behind closed doors.
    There is a growing disconnect between PC politicians with a eye on a EU or private sector job and the population.
    EU countries and the UK are going hard right in the next few years, cant see it going any other way now. Maybe that was the plan all along?

    Working and middle class britain are sick of being called racists and being told that what they see is an illusion. Nigel farage won’t be the one in power next time around , but itll be somebody a lot closer to him than boris johnson in ideologies.

    This invasion is quite rightly infuriating normal British people, they voted for brexit to stop this kind of thing happening and it turns out it didnt matter a tap.

    Thankfully Corbyn didn't win the election. He'd have built a bridge for these people to get to the UK. Boris not doing enough to stem the flow and if he doesn't he'll be out on his ear next time around.

    Brexit only stopped EU immigration. For many years now over 50% of legal immigrants to the UK were from outside the EU, a cohort that the UK could limit at anytime.

    EU immigration was never really the problem. It was simply used as an excuse to push the real Brexit agenda, which was a liberal economic agenda, aka Singapore on the Thames.

    Brexit was never going to be a solution to limit the legal, or illegal, immigration of non European nationals to the UK.

    Once again, you distort the truth to try and make it seem like you have a point. If all of these people were coming from English past colonies you'd have a point, they are not though. I'd hazard a guess that you know that too, but you simply don't care.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    When the British ran colonies they were a fraction of the populations they are now. When there is overpopulation spilling out of Africa, Asia and the middle east, it is not the fault of the British over the other side of the globe.
    You need to be taking personal responsibility for your actions now.

    Labour darling Blair's actions notwithstanding.

    And what do they see exactly?

    An 'invasion', are you serious? Have you actually lived in UK?

    It’s a joke TomTomTim, by a popular irish comedian. Have you considered trying to grow a sense of humour?

    Aside from that, the facts would contradict your oh so indignant point: many of the UK’s largest immigrant communities are former colonies.

    Pretty much everything here is wrong.

    Farage failed to get elected in the most bigoted, racist part of England.

    The idea that people voted for Brexit to stop lads in dinghies laughing just goes to show how stupid the idea of Brexit is.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Channel migrants: 235 people in 17 vessels stopped in one day

    This is just the ones that were detected. They need to start mining the channel along with a fleet of killer drones so these people get the message.

    Lord Ashcroft's election day poll of 12,369 voters also discovered that 'One third (33%) [of leave voters] said the main reason was that leaving "offered the best chance for the UK to regain control over immigration and its own borders."'[3].

    The son of a KGB agent is granted a seat in the House of Lords by Boris Johnson and right now the most powerful man in UK politics is Dominic Cummings.
    All after Brexit was demanded to take back control from unelected officials (who are elected) in Europe.
    And still 100 people a day die from Covid
    And then Nigel goes off like a good work dog and draws attention to something else. 'Look over here, this African is stealing your livelihood!!!'

    And if you think these events aren't related then you probably are choosing to ignore the relationship between Boris and Nigel. After Theresa May finally sacked Boris, who was seen having dinner with in London? Mr Farage.

    And all this allows the Home Secretary who was fired for having undisclosed meetings with Israeli operatives and whose immigration laws would have prevented her own parents moving to the UK to suggest using the Navy against refugees.

    And there's no shortage of people to beat the 'refugees are ruining everything' drum irrespective of the reality while the 'elite' are focused on their own plans and theirs alone.

    How was Brexit meant to stop this happening? And what exactly does Farage think the government should do about it now they've isolated themselves further by leaving the EU?

    Bit much that. I think just picking them up and dumping them on a beach in France will do.

    Because that's what has been pedaled? It wasn't at all a chance to grab power? You think those that offered Brexit done so because of immigration?

    Sins of the father. You might as well go back to the days of paganism, it might suit you better, you absolute barbarian. You spit on western individualism and hundreds of years of work with every breath, yet some how think you're a enlightened progressive person. If you removed your head from your arse for a few minutes you may realize that.

    Sins of the father. Lol. Nothing to do with Boris connections with Russians or the media they own in the UK which is very favourable to the actions of Boris. But no, lets focus on a few hundred migrants.

    Doesn't everyone think they are enlightened? Or do you admit that what you say is nonsense.

    The French are doing precious little to stop this

    https://www.bbc.com/news/video_and_audio/headlines/53705287/no-sign-of-surveillance-as-migrants-flee-france

    Even if they did the migrants can try again the next day. They act with impunity.
    If I robbed a bank on Monday and caught stopped, I would not be at liberty to try Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday until I eventually succeeded.

    In 2019, 2,758 migrants were rescued by the French and British authorities while trying to make the crossing - four times more than in 2018, according to French officials.

    The UK left the EU so they could control their own borders. It's not the French's responsibility.

    How?
    I can't see a way.
    Put the dinghies back in French territorial waters, they'll just head to the UK again.
    Put the people on a ferry/aeroplane back to France might work once. By day 2 France will be insisting on passengers manifests from the airlines/ferry companies.
    Literally dropping them back (i.e. landing British navy boats in French beaches and dropping people off) would be close to WW3.

    Genuinely struggling to see a solution here for a Brexit Britain. France has little or no obligation to help the non-EU UK on this issue.
    It's actually quite funny in ways.
