Conducting diplomacy with our two closest neighbours and geopolitical allies like a fucking 7 year old arguing over a toy.

But basically every redditor on this sub told me the Rwanda deal would never be an effective deterrent. How could they possibly be wrong? They all seemed so certain, rabidly so.

This is a great dead cat that will last until the GE in which the Tories will be soundly defeated.

It’s hard to control your borders when your border extends for 300 miles across someone else’s country.
>At the time, through a freedom of information request, I [journalist Barry Whyte] found out that 25% of international protection applicants arrived here through our ports and airports. So how did the other 75% arrive here? Well, it didn’t take a genius to work out that these migrants were not coming to Ireland by teleportation. The only logical explanation was that they were coming via the North.

France, and the wider EU didn’t really do much to halt the flow of illegal crossings to the UK when we were a member, much less after brexit. I think Ireland is about to find out what it’s like to plead with them for change only to have it fall of deaf ears because it’s inconvenient for them.

The EU can’t have it both ways. It’s amusing that the Irish are as outraged as we are.

The UK needs to do what Belarus did with Poland a few years ago except the migrants won’t face barbed wire and water cannons.

I don’t think this is relevant given they came from France in the first place

If I faced the prospect of annihilation in a General Election, I would also gin up a confected international dispute with needless cruelty that will fill the column inches in the hope people will forget how disastrous the last fourteen years of my party’s government have been.

There’s an Irish news article about it here: [https://www.newstalk.com/news/a-united-ireland-might-be-the-only-solution-border-control-1720104](https://www.newstalk.com/news/a-united-ireland-might-be-the-only-solution-border-control-1720104)
