Junior doctors in England have accepted the government’s offer of a 22% pay rise, but warn they will want more in the coming years.
Members of the British Medical Association backed the deal offered by the government with 66% voting in favour of the increase, which is spread over two years. Nearly 46,000 took part in the online ballot.
It brings to an end the 18-month dispute, which saw junior doctors take part in 11 separate strikes.
But the BMA warned this must be just the start of a series of above-inflation pay rises or there would be “consequences”.
Medical mafia – primary drive – money – depend on the misplaced sentiment of the great British public who put them on a pedestal …. Fill their mouths with gold – as a Labour Health Secretary said when they didn’t want an NHS in 1948?

Extracts from the David Lammy speech today. It appears the Smarmer Labour Government is going to go full tilt into climate emergency politics, economics and foreign policy. I suppose it will give them powers to control and tax us even more.
Extracts from the Government website for those than bear the full horror:
Conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have dominated my time in office so far. But I was very clear in Opposition that, in this job, I would focus on the most profound and universal source of global disorder – the climate and nature emergency.
Four years ago, I spoke about the essential link between climate justice and racial justice. And as Shadow Foreign Secretary, I set out how our response to this crisis both can create unparalleled economic opportunities and is the central geopolitical challenge of our age.
Time and again, it is the most vulnerable who bear the brunt of this crisis. From Ella Kissi-Debrah – a nine-year-old Londoner killed, in part, by unlawful levels of air pollution near her home, to communities in the Caribbean, whose leaders tell me they feel neglected, as they struggle with stronger, more frequent tropical storms caused by a crisis not of their making.
But today, I am committing to you that while I am Foreign Secretary, action on the climate and nature crisis will be central to all that the Foreign Office does.
The truth is that in the last few years, something went badly wrong in our national debate on climate change and net zero. I take no pleasure in saying that.

To drive forward this cross-Government reset even further, I am announcing today that we will appoint new UK Special Representatives for Climate Change and Nature. These will support me, together with Ed Miliband and Steve Reed respectively, as we reboot internationally, showing that whether you are from the Global North or the Global South, we want to forge genuine partnerships, to tackle this crisis together.
For example, Africa is on the climate frontline. Natural disasters alone have affected 400 million Africans this century. Yet Africa receives just over three per cent of climate finance flows. And debt servicing alone averages ten per cent of Africa’s GDP.
Change is critical. There is no pathway to countries’ development aspirations without climate resilience, action on the nature crisis and access to clean energy, and no pathway to a sustainable future without development that leaves no one behind.
Flotsam, “To drive forward this cross-Government reset even further, I am announcing today that we will appoint new UK Special Representatives for Climate Change and Nature.”
That is going to cost the public purse quite a bit. I cannot imagine UKSR for Climate Change and a UKSR for Nature not requiring salaries of £350,000 to £400,000 each. Has David Lammy cleared it with Rachel Reeves beforehand?
White man beaten to death by cops….where’s the ‘White lives Matter’? Where’s the riots and the calls to defund the police? Where’s the enormous media coverage and Starmer taking the knee?
The BBC’s ‘Uncharted with Hannah Fry’ was the usual BBC sleight of hand…ostensibly about one thing but mainly a vehicle to push climate change…ie mankind’s appalling effect upon nature.
One thing of note…they admitted that CO2 levels may have edged up since the industrial revolution but it is only since the 1950’s that it has rocketed upwards.
Hmmm wonder why…what correlation is there? Maybe the massive growth in population, third world, is in fact the relevant factor?…massive increase in land use, land clearance and fires for land clearance, heating and cooking for these billions of new people….plus of course the huge development in those countries as they build and use cars and trucks on a huge scale….China is an obvious example of hyper-growth and development and use of fossil fuels…if that is what you’re saying causes climate change.
The huge spike in CO2 coincides with huge population growth and development of industry and mobility.
If CO2 is the real problem then the third world and the developing world caused climate change as the BBC knows it.
ie mankind’s appalling effect upon nature = Mother Nature and her nasty volcanoes

The Rujigou mining area in Ningxia, one of the most serious coalfield fire areas, has been burning for more than 100 years since the Qing Dynasty. According to statistics, the Rujigou fire area releases about 15,000 tons of particulate matter and 6000 tons of sulfur dioxide annually.26 Feb 2024
MM, the UN’s IPCC has decided that not CO2, not methane but Sulfur* Hexaflouride is the worst Global Warming gas of all. Can Sulfur Dioxide change into Sulfur Hexaflouride?
Flotsam, and if we in the UK cease all animal husbandry, cease immediately to burn hydrocarbons, immediately close down UK industry, immediately bankrupt the country and place our children, grandchildren and great-grandcildren and great-great-grandchildren in debt it will make very little difference to that percentage CO2 in the atmosphere!

‘Special guest Rhiannon Giddens, the American folk musician, fiddler and banjo player, reveals the history of the bluegrass banjo, taking us from West Africa to the Americas, and the role of the transatlantic slave trade.’#
We all need to recognise the Black roots of US country music says Jeffrey Boakye…essentially it is a black form of music stolen by whites….and of course the banjo is African…never mind, one, country music is as much fiddle and guitar and not just banjo and two, pretty sure we already knew about stringed instruments such as lutes etc before we hit the Americas….and as for dem roots…sure blacks may have had some influence as did Hispanics and indigenous people but….
‘The origins of country music trace back to the pioneers from the British Isles who settled in the eastern American Appalachian mountain range. The genre, first known as Hillbilly music, emerged as a fusion of the ballads and folk songs of the English, fiddle and dance music of the Scots-Irish with the banjo and blues influence of African Americans. The documented origins and collection of early country music songs by folklorists such as Cecil Sharp, means much of what we know as traditional American music can be traced back to British roots.’
Having said that I forget…Britain was a thriving multicultural hotbed where Blacks were the inventive and creative force behind so much of our success….so it is likely they were in reality the ‘pilgrim Fathers’…oh and yeah…the inventors of the Atlantic slave trade.
Bet you’ll never see the BBC claiming ownership of the ‘black roots’ of slavery.
Looking forward to another Olusoga book on Black History, lol, that the BBC can push with so much unquestioning enthusiasm…

MP Accuses Jamie Oliver of Cultural Appropriation Over ‘Jerk Rice’
Labour’s Dawn Butler tweeted that jerk “is not just a word you put before stuff to sell products”
by James Hansen@jameskhansen Updated Aug 22, 2018, 12:20pm BST
I think humanity should simply enjoy each other’s achievements.
Be it food, technology, clothing or whatever.
If that idiot thinks we honkies can’t have ‘jerk chicken’ (idgaf, but perhaps someone does) because it’s cultural appropriation, then she can get her mitts off honky inventions.
She can stop using her car…or any motorised transport for that matter. She can have her gas and leccy cut off and all her plumbing ripped out. No running water for you, Mrs Cultural Appropriation. You can shit on the floor. No internet or phone too. We’ll take the glass windows out too. On any medication. That’ll almost certainly have to be given back too, sorry. The clothing she’s wearing and the food in her fridge? Probably manufactured or farmed using honky methods derived yonks ago.
She can keep her jerk chicken (which she can cook on a fire she makes with flints) and live butt naked and crap in the woods if she’s true to her morals?
I struggle to understand why so many of our people are either asleep or just plain stupid.
Case in point, our ‘leaders’ (on all sides of the house) laughing and scoffing at Farage’s ‘two tier’ question.
Like it was some kind of nutty, lizard people-esque thing to say.
They treated him like he was mad. To be ignored and ridiculed
And yet, just a day or so later, we have seen the BBC’s ‘beloved’ Huw Edwards walk free without spending a single day in prison, for some appalling crimes of the worst kind, while people go to jail for years for saying a few hurty words on Facebook.
And they have the nerve to laugh this off? Don’t forget that and don’t stop reminding people about it.
Because the BBC won’t!
But let’s put X Factor/Dancing on ice or whatever on and forget it.
Folk have about 2 years to wake up to what’s going on or we are finished.
People also need to start asking where all the bloody money is going (bills, council tax, NI, income tax, price of food, trains etc).
I know where it’s going (vanity projects and blatant corruption) but nobody seems to be asking this.

The Guardian in talks to sell The Observer to former BBC News chief .
The owner of the Guardian is in talks to sell The Observer to a start-up founded by former BBC News director James Harding. (Owner of the Tortoise).!!! ‘Tortoise was founded by Mr Harding, the former editor of The Times, as a “slow news” organisation in 2018. He set up the business after leaving the BBC, where he was director of BBC News between 2013 and 2018. ‘
Confirming the talks, Mr Harding called The Observer “one of the greatest names in news” and promised to “honour the values and standards set under The Guardian’s great stewardship”. He added: “George Orwell described The Observer as ‘the enemy of nonsense’; we’re excited to show readers, old and new, that it still is.”
……
I can add to that;
(NOTE: George Orwell described the BBC as a ‘madhouse’, (as he worked for the BBC), and then BBC dictated the news, which Orwell called ‘nonsense’ and was (he said) as cross bewteen a Girls School and a mental Asylum). Orwell was himself ‘left wing’ and hated the time he spent at the BBC. He wrote ‘1984’ due to the time spent at the BBC, irony or what?.
…..
The funding for Tortoise Media’s bid is unclear. The company lost £4.6m on turnover of £6.2m in 2022, the most recent year accounts are available for. Directors put the loss down to investment in expansion and said cash flow forecasts indicated it would have enough funds to last for 12 months after the date of the accounts. Tortoise received £1.1m of investment in December 2023.
…..
The Observer and The Guardian are owned by Scott Trust, a billion pound charitable organisation. It is, of course a charity…..
…
‘Scott Trust’ is a closet off-shore trust fund which is raher secret to where and how it funds itself. Could be Russia, or by EU ‘donations or left wing globalists of SOROS. Some time ago, The Guardian had complained to the BBC that they should pay for ‘unauthorised’ re-use of Guardian content, as many Guardian journalist appear on BBC on various channels which are paid for as ‘extras’. Even so, its not enough money for The Observer. So its For Sale, and bought by an ex BBC director. Who else would buy it?
That would be ‘Thousands of Hezbollah terrorists hurt’ there BBC.
Genius by the Israelies : nobody except terrorists would use these obsolete devices – so I expect virtually every one injured was part of Hezbollah. Everyone else who has nothing to hide will have a phone.
But of course we know whose side the BBC are on. They have every available person reporting on this one in a special ‘live update’ feed reserved for agenda items and statements from the terrorists themselves are being presented with full credibility. They are at ‘fever pitch’ – far more than they were for either attempt to assasinate Trump.
And while BBC Verify cannot verify a video we saw – which is pretty much beyond doubt anyway – I think the fact thousands of them blew up proves it actually happened. So God knows why they want to prove that one video is genuine.
But not to worry : The BBC ‘security correspondent’ expert ‘Frank
Gardner’ is on the case :
‘Devices might have been loaded with small amount of explosive’
No shit Frank.
Jeez – if it was done by the Israelis (unsubstantiated so far), it kind of absolutely justifies their claims to be focussed on terrorists and terrorist-sympathisers, and not just indiscriminate attacks – like those from some who may not be mentioned. Talk about pin-point ?

The biggest scandal you haven’t heard about is Biden/Harris and Democrats taking $230B from *Medicare* to fund electric car tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act – driving up seniors prescription drug costs.
Party in power diverting funds from elder care to green fantasy; who would even think of such a move?
Read the other day that, with still some time to the end of the US fiancial year, the interest on US debt has breached the $1 Trillion per year mark, and it’s likely to reach $1.16 Trillion for Fiscal (US) Year 2024…… hell’s teeth. That’s close to $5,000 per head of population for this year alone, man woman and child – and it’s still rising.
And this is, of course, in no small part due to Biden’s so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’. No wonder Kamala wants to distance herself as far as possible from her own and Biden’s record in power.
At least the bBC have now caught up with the fact that the Hezbollah pagers were not over heating but exploding.
The collective wisdom of the bBC has however failed to spot that the synchronisation of the explosions probably indicate that a signal was sent to detonate, rather than a user activating the device after a signal (or is bBC language just sloppy and that is what they meant):
“A former British Army munitions expert, who asked not to be named, told the BBC the devices would have likely been packed with between 10 to 20 grams each of military-grade high explosive, hidden inside a fake electronic component.
This, said the expert, would have been armed by a signal, something called an alphanumeric text message.
Once armed, the next person to use the device would have triggered the explosive.”
It’s brilliant…..and must be an inside job….you get the idea but then have to implement it…you’re not going to set up these devices on the off-chance Hezbollah will somehow buy the ones you’ve got and issue them…you must know and have someone in the Hezbollah supply set-up who can buy the rigged pagers and issue them to the Hezbollah members.
There’s now a vacancy in Hezbollah stores department.
‘Reece Richards, a star of the Netflix show Sex Education, was returning home to Fulham on 4 September after performing in the musical Hairspray when he says he witnessed a car crash and two men fleeing on foot.
Despite pointing out the direction in which the two men had fled, he says four officers sat on him, worsening injuries to his back, ribs and stomach.
A video, shared by Mr Richards and Hairspray director Brenda Edwards, appears to show a number of police officers holding an individual to the floor.’
Trouble is nothing to show why the coppers did what they did…the BBC just by default claims racism….type of reporting that is fairly inflammatory as it spreads what is unproven information as fact knowing that such events are used to whip up anger and riots all too often.
The BBC can hardly complain about social media and people on there speculating when they themselves deliberately broadcast provocative material.
Will the BBC be prosecuted if riots ensue in such a situation…a BBC that always allows on Black voices that claim police are ‘executing’ or ‘assassinating’ Blacks?
‘Britain will not adopt the Italian-style tactic of intercepting migrants’ boats in the Channel and turning them back to France, an immigration minister has said.
Dame Angela Eagle, the minister for border security, said the UK could not turn back boats without the agreement of France, whose policy is not to intercept them unless migrants ask to be rescued.’
France won’t accept them….erm….so why do we accept them? Is she saying we agree to take them?
The only way to stop the boats is to send them back immediately…tow the boats back to French waters and leave them there to be ‘rescued’ by the French. As long as they think they can get to Britain they will continue to come into France and then on to us. Stop the easy access to us and you’ll stop the trafficking.
The French just don’t want to stop it…despite what the BBC tries to suggest, that it is impossible to spot these boats, it is pretty easy from tracking the migrants on shore as they arrange their trip to tracking the boats…technology is highly sophisticated and can spot people quite easily night and day….especially on a relatively flat surface such as the sea. Drones can cover large areas quickly…there’s no excuse for the French not to stop these boats.
I suggest we charge the French for every illegal migrant they send here.
Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?
they are not fucking around. when I tell you censorship goes up to the top of the State Department, that the State Department is pushing censorship laws around the world in 140 countries, remember when you watch this clip that Hillary Clinton was Secretary Of State. https://t.co/u7AwcaEhEk
It is called ‘nudge’ after the book by Richard Thaler (who went on to win the Nobel prize in economics) and Cass Sunstein which set out how people are not the rational economic actors beloved of conventional economic theory – but can be influenced by “choice architecture” into making better choices in their own interests.

Flotsam, and if we in the UK cease all animal husbandry, cease immediately to burn hydrocarbons, immediately close down UK industry, immediately bankrupt the country and place our children, grandchildren and great-grandcildren and great-great-grandchildren in debt it will make very little difference to that percentage CO2 in the atmosphere!

What sort of ‘man’ allows another man buy his wife a shit load on underwear?
If a mate of mine called me and said he was out buying underwear for my wife, I’d knock his head off.

‘Special guest Rhiannon Giddens, the American folk musician, fiddler and banjo player, reveals the history of the bluegrass banjo, taking us from West Africa to the Americas, and the role of the transatlantic slave trade.’#
We all need to recognise the Black roots of US country music says Jeffrey Boakye…essentially it is a black form of music stolen by whites….and of course the banjo is African…never mind, one, country music is as much fiddle and guitar and not just banjo and two, pretty sure we already knew about stringed instruments such as lutes etc before we hit the Americas….and as for dem roots…sure blacks may have had some influence as did Hispanics and indigenous people but….
‘The origins of country music trace back to the pioneers from the British Isles who settled in the eastern American Appalachian mountain range. The genre, first known as Hillbilly music, emerged as a fusion of the ballads and folk songs of the English, fiddle and dance music of the Scots-Irish with the banjo and blues influence of African Americans. The documented origins and collection of early country music songs by folklorists such as Cecil Sharp, means much of what we know as traditional American music can be traced back to British roots.’

Having said that I forget…Britain was a thriving multicultural hotbed where Blacks were the inventive and creative force behind so much of our success….so it is likely they were in reality the ‘pilgrim Fathers’…oh and yeah…the inventors of the Atlantic slave trade.
Bet you’ll never see the BBC claiming ownership of the ‘black roots’ of slavery.
Looking forward to another Olusoga book on Black History, lol, that the BBC can push with so much unquestioning enthusiasm…

I think humanity should simply enjoy each other’s achievements.
Be it food, technology, clothing or whatever.
If that idiot thinks we honkies can’t have ‘jerk chicken’ (idgaf, but perhaps someone does) because it’s cultural appropriation, then she can get her mitts off honky inventions.
She can stop using her car…or any motorised transport for that matter. She can have her gas and leccy cut off and all her plumbing ripped out. No running water for you, Mrs Cultural Appropriation. You can shit on the floor. No internet or phone too. We’ll take the glass windows out too. On any medication. That’ll almost certainly have to be given back too, sorry. The clothing she’s wearing and the food in her fridge? Probably manufactured or farmed using honky methods derived yonks ago.
She can keep her jerk chicken (which she can cook on a fire she makes with flints) and live butt naked and crap in the woods if she’s true to her morals?

I struggle to understand why so many of our people are either asleep or just plain stupid.
Case in point, our ‘leaders’ (on all sides of the house) laughing and scoffing at Farage’s ‘two tier’ question.
Like it was some kind of nutty, lizard people-esque thing to say.
They treated him like he was mad. To be ignored and ridiculed
And yet, just a day or so later, we have seen the BBC’s ‘beloved’ Huw Edwards walk free without spending a single day in prison, for some appalling crimes of the worst kind, while people go to jail for years for saying a few hurty words on Facebook.
And they have the nerve to laugh this off? Don’t forget that and don’t stop reminding people about it.
Because the BBC won’t!
But let’s put X Factor/Dancing on ice or whatever on and forget it.
Folk have about 2 years to wake up to what’s going on or we are finished.
People also need to start asking where all the bloody money is going (bills, council tax, NI, income tax, price of food, trains etc).
I know where it’s going (vanity projects and blatant corruption) but nobody seems to be asking this.
Where’s the effing money gone, you thieving gets?

Why isn’t Starmer going to watch the women’s football?
Only the men’s, I notice (Arsenal or England). Tsk.
He must be one of those sexists then? Well, that seems to be the lefty woke rule if you think women’s football is utter tripe.
I hope someone buys him tickets for that. He won’t be able to say no.

The Guardian in talks to sell The Observer to former BBC News chief .
The owner of the Guardian is in talks to sell The Observer to a start-up founded by former BBC News director James Harding. (Owner of the Tortoise).!!!
‘Tortoise was founded by Mr Harding, the former editor of The Times, as a “slow news” organisation in 2018. He set up the business after leaving the BBC, where he was director of BBC News between 2013 and 2018. ‘
Confirming the talks, Mr Harding called The Observer “one of the greatest names in news” and promised to “honour the values and standards set under The Guardian’s great stewardship”. He added: “George Orwell described The Observer as ‘the enemy of nonsense’; we’re excited to show readers, old and new, that it still is.”
……
I can add to that;
(NOTE: George Orwell described the BBC as a ‘madhouse’, (as he worked for the BBC), and then BBC dictated the news, which Orwell called ‘nonsense’ and was (he said) as cross bewteen a Girls School and a mental Asylum). Orwell was himself ‘left wing’ and hated the time he spent at the BBC. He wrote ‘1984’ due to the time spent at the BBC, irony or what?.
…..
The funding for Tortoise Media’s bid is unclear. The company lost £4.6m on turnover of £6.2m in 2022, the most recent year accounts are available for. Directors put the loss down to investment in expansion and said cash flow forecasts indicated it would have enough funds to last for 12 months after the date of the accounts. Tortoise received £1.1m of investment in December 2023.
…..
The Observer and The Guardian are owned by Scott Trust, a billion pound charitable organisation. It is, of course a charity…..
…
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/09/17/the-guardian-accounts-sell-observer-tortoise/
‘Scott Trust’ is a closet off-shore trust fund which is raher secret to where and how it funds itself. Could be Russia, or by EU ‘donations or left wing globalists of SOROS. Some time ago, The Guardian had complained to the BBC that they should pay for ‘unauthorised’ re-use of Guardian content, as many Guardian journalist appear on BBC on various channels which are paid for as ‘extras’. Even so, its not enough money for The Observer. So its For Sale, and bought by an ex BBC director. Who else would buy it?

Thousands hurt by exploding pagers across Lebanon, health minister says
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cwyl9048gx8t
That would be ‘Thousands of Hezbollah terrorists hurt’ there BBC.
Genius by the Israelies : nobody except terrorists would use these obsolete devices – so I expect virtually every one injured was part of Hezbollah. Everyone else who has nothing to hide will have a phone.
But of course we know whose side the BBC are on. They have every available person reporting on this one in a special ‘live update’ feed reserved for agenda items and statements from the terrorists themselves are being presented with full credibility. They are at ‘fever pitch’ – far more than they were for either attempt to assasinate Trump.
And while BBC Verify cannot verify a video we saw – which is pretty much beyond doubt anyway – I think the fact thousands of them blew up proves it actually happened. So God knows why they want to prove that one video is genuine.
But not to worry : The BBC ‘security correspondent’ expert ‘Frank
Gardner’ is on the case :
‘Devices might have been loaded with small amount of explosive’
No shit Frank.

Read the other day that, with still some time to the end of the US fiancial year, the interest on US debt has breached the $1 Trillion per year mark, and it’s likely to reach $1.16 Trillion for Fiscal (US) Year 2024…… hell’s teeth. That’s close to $5,000 per head of population for this year alone, man woman and child – and it’s still rising.
And this is, of course, in no small part due to Biden’s so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’. No wonder Kamala wants to distance herself as far as possible from her own and Biden’s record in power.

At least the bBC have now caught up with the fact that the Hezbollah pagers were not over heating but exploding.
The collective wisdom of the bBC has however failed to spot that the synchronisation of the explosions probably indicate that a signal was sent to detonate, rather than a user activating the device after a signal (or is bBC language just sloppy and that is what they meant):
“A former British Army munitions expert, who asked not to be named, told the BBC the devices would have likely been packed with between 10 to 20 grams each of military-grade high explosive, hidden inside a fake electronic component.
This, said the expert, would have been armed by a signal, something called an alphanumeric text message.
Once armed, the next person to use the device would have triggered the explosive.”

It’s brilliant…..and must be an inside job….you get the idea but then have to implement it…you’re not going to set up these devices on the off-chance Hezbollah will somehow buy the ones you’ve got and issue them…you must know and have someone in the Hezbollah supply set-up who can buy the rigged pagers and issue them to the Hezbollah members.
There’s now a vacancy in Hezbollah stores department.

Yeah, of course…it’s racism and profiling…..naturally not a word about the run-up to the police arresting him….
‘Police probe actor’s mistaken pepper-spray arrest’
‘Reece Richards, a star of the Netflix show Sex Education, was returning home to Fulham on 4 September after performing in the musical Hairspray when he says he witnessed a car crash and two men fleeing on foot.
Despite pointing out the direction in which the two men had fled, he says four officers sat on him, worsening injuries to his back, ribs and stomach.
A video, shared by Mr Richards and Hairspray director Brenda Edwards, appears to show a number of police officers holding an individual to the floor.’
Trouble is nothing to show why the coppers did what they did…the BBC just by default claims racism….type of reporting that is fairly inflammatory as it spreads what is unproven information as fact knowing that such events are used to whip up anger and riots all too often.
The BBC can hardly complain about social media and people on there speculating when they themselves deliberately broadcast provocative material.
Will the BBC be prosecuted if riots ensue in such a situation…a BBC that always allows on Black voices that claim police are ‘executing’ or ‘assassinating’ Blacks?

Huh?
‘Britain will not adopt the Italian-style tactic of intercepting migrants’ boats in the Channel and turning them back to France, an immigration minister has said.
Dame Angela Eagle, the minister for border security, said the UK could not turn back boats without the agreement of France, whose policy is not to intercept them unless migrants ask to be rescued.’
France won’t accept them….erm….so why do we accept them? Is she saying we agree to take them?
The only way to stop the boats is to send them back immediately…tow the boats back to French waters and leave them there to be ‘rescued’ by the French. As long as they think they can get to Britain they will continue to come into France and then on to us. Stop the easy access to us and you’ll stop the trafficking.
The French just don’t want to stop it…despite what the BBC tries to suggest, that it is impossible to spot these boats, it is pretty easy from tracking the migrants on shore as they arrange their trip to tracking the boats…technology is highly sophisticated and can spot people quite easily night and day….especially on a relatively flat surface such as the sea. Drones can cover large areas quickly…there’s no excuse for the French not to stop these boats.
I suggest we charge the French for every illegal migrant they send here.

Today the BBC journalists Michael Keohan and Colin Campbell released a shocking report on the channel crossings. It showed people smugglers selling their wares brazenly in the migrant camps and many children living in unsafe and dangerous conditions, as well as—this is breathtaking—a free French public bus service that migrants can use to travel directly from the camps to the Dunkirk departure beaches. Will my right hon. Friend allow a statement on the issue of tackling the small boat crossings and the Government’s response in their work with France?

Why ‘nudge’?
It is called ‘nudge’ after the book by Richard Thaler (who went on to win the Nobel prize in economics) and Cass Sunstein which set out how people are not the rational economic actors beloved of conventional economic theory – but can be influenced by “choice architecture” into making better choices in their own interests.
