Many Happy Returns
Britain had a little problem with people floating across from France and not going away again.
The Britons were a little miffed at this and started complaining vociferously. Their Glorious Leader Ricky Satsuma came up with a brilliant plan. “Lets bung them all on planes and send them on a free never ending holiday in Rwanda” he said. Why he chose Rwanda is anyone’s guess. Probably they owed him some money or had disrespected his mother or something. Nevertheless, Rwanda it was.
Now a lot of those excess people didn’t fancy a holiday in the sun so they headed north, and there they discovered that they could travel to Norn Iron without anyone asking any awkward questions, seeing as Norn Iron is part of Britain, or The United Kingdom or England or something, so they were basically crossing a county boundary that was actually sea.
Once they had arrived in Norn Iron it was easy to hop on a bus or a train or a donkey cart and travel south to the Irish Republic, again without any of those awkward questions, because even though they had entered a new country, Ireland and the UK had signed a thing called “The Good Friday Agreement” which said there would be no border or customs or any of that shit between the north and the south.
Now Ireland [the Republic bit] had the headache. Being already full with their own problems they started dumping all these new arrivals in tents, some on the streets of Dublin and some they sent down to isolated villages to annoy the locals. Someone estimated that over 80% of these new arrivals came via the Norn Iron route.
Ricky Satsuma was delighted at this turn of events as it got rid of the unwanted and saved on flights to Rwanda. He went on television and joked that it was now Ireland’s problem by solving his.
The Irish Gubmint was a little pissed at this levity, especially as they thought Satsuma was a friend, or at least not an enemy. It was time to let Satsuma know that you can’t mess with the Irish so they are passing a new law sending all these new arrivals right back again to England. This was a clever move as it was a chance to get rid of some of our own excess as well.
The moral of the story?
Don’t fuck with the Irish.
Ya reckon ?
Show me the international law which says the UK is required to take back any illegal migrants who have come from one EU country to another via the UK.
And I’m waiting with interest to see how the Irish government intends to get around the High Court judgement of a few months ago which ruled out the return of illegals to the UK because it was deemed an ” unsafe ” country because of its Rwanda plans.
And it was, after all, Ireland who absolutely insisted on there being no border control on the island of Ireland.
Karma baby.
Karma.
(PS: There are currently 7,300 illegals refused permanent residence in Ireland but who have yet to be deported. After years of depicting Blighty’s treatment of illegals as inhuame the pigeons are coming home to roost so to speak. Heh,heh,heh. )
With you all the way here, Grandad!
Fishy Rishi has been an absolute arse about all these illegals arriving on our shores – mostly around where we live, and this Rwanda ‘policy’ is a fatuous attempt to make himself ‘important’, which is the last issue most voters consider, seeing his dire performance as our unelected PM. He’ll be in the US immediately after our General Election, and good riddance!
I’m truly sorry that the problem has been cast in your direction, I really didn’t understand the implications as none of this has been seriously reported on the MSM, or if it was, it would be by the BBC which most people ignore as they are leftie and useless!
I hope your TDs get to grips with all this, and, although it will be a ‘problem’ for the UK Labour Party to deal with when they get into power later this year, the boats will never stop until someone with balls gets to deal with a few punctures in these bloody boats.
Ah, echo chamber.
Understood.
The old RTE habits must be hard to shake off even after all these years …
I get the echo chamber bit, but RTE habits? What the hell are they?
With regard to illegal immigration, the UK’s real problem is the French.
Anyone genuinely seeking asylum is expected to make their claim in the first safe country they access – the vast majority of those seeking to cross the Channel to claim asylum have passed through many safe countries, long before congregating on the northern French coast.
Of course, the Schengen Agreement creates open borders in most of the EU, hence those so-called asylum seekers merely need to access one EU state and can then freely travel across those non-borders to their preferred slipway. That’s a price/benefit of EU membership.
For reasons best known to themselves, the French not only tolerate the assembly of those huddled masses on their territory, but then actively collude with their use of unsafe boats to cross the Channel. There is nothing stopping the French from preventing any such boat-launches, but they don’t want to, indeed the French authorities will happily guide those boats half-way across the water, then hand them over to the ludicrous British RNLI who equally-happily ‘save’ them with a free taxi-service to Dover.
The chain which then leads to Ireland is a direct consequence of the position taken by the Dublin government over the Brexit negotiations, when their tantrums demanded an open border between Ireland and Ulster, never imagining that there could be a price to pay for that insistence. It’s pay-up time, Paddy.
But after all that, it’s important to acknowledge that these are not ‘asylum seekers’, they are simply economic migrants gaming the system. The real fault lies with those who operate the system, on all sides of all borders, for allowing it to be gamed.
I don’t think anyone – except devious, evil and duplicitous politicians like Blair – could have realised that the French would fail yet again to alleviate their country from the tyranny of foreigners, and quickly pass the problem onto someone else by shoving all these foreigners across the Channel, and – sadly and eventually – to your country, Grandad.
Has anyone thought of a new passport system to get them to Greenland…?
They are not crossing into Ireland, they are going back into the EU from whence they came.
I’m not being facetious here.
I’m sure the Irish people hate “migration”, but all the evidence is that they are enthusiastic for the EU and would pretty overwhelmingly vote to stay if there was a referendum tomorrow (there never will be of course)
If the Irish EU province could send them back, how could the french EU province refuse to take them? (it would of course, the frogs have never felt constrained by such trivia).
You could have had a border, and probably a defendable legal/moral position, but that boat has sailed.
The problem here isn’t so much the fact that they’re here, it’s where to put them. The authorities seem to be picking places at random around the country and either commandeering a local hotel or they’ll pitch fields full of tents. These locations are totally unsuitable and stretch locals services [schools, doctors etc.] to breaking point. There is little chance of any employment in most places as they are just simple villages. The victim village is never consulted in advance and this is leading to massive unrest around the country
I’m not without sympathy or empathy but hackles are rising in all victim countries and the scum class ultimately responsible are likely scrabbling like the fuckwit headless chickens they are.
But I have to say, from a UK position, the posturing of the arse bandit umpa lumpa when we were leaving toytown Austria-Hungary seemed nothing more than wilful obduracy. It ramped up irritation here, and that irritation has not gone down much I’m afraid.
I understand that the reich wants to add norn iron to its rubber stamp collection, but Ireland helping them so Cravenly helps nobody, least of all Ireland.
To talk of a unified Ireland (something I honestly think more people here are open to than is commonly imagined) is a sick joke as long as you are trapped within the monstrosity.
But all this might well become moot. Look at Ireland, and compared to most of Europe hardly anybody lives there, even if you get norn iron that would only be 5 million or so.
Of course you’re struggling but the Wansee economic eugenisists see a general government that could easily house 5 or 10 million more engineers and brain surgeons.
Fuck me, get out now!
But how can you?
The moral of the story?
Don’t fuck with the Irish. Let the EU do it for you.
You can pass a law to send them back, but you can’t pass a law to make us take them.
If it’s so easy for an EU country to pass a law to send illegal immigrants back to the UK, why can’t the UK pass a law to send illegal immigrants back to the EU? And why do we have to fly them to Rwanda? That’s inhumane. Why not fly them to one of France’s tropical paradises: Martinique, Guadaloupe, French Guiana etc. I doubt if even The Guardian would be able to find anything to criticise about that.
The French might not be too pleased, but… well… who cares?
Unfortunately the Irish high court ruled recently that the UK is not a safe country because of the Rwanda legislation & Ireland can therefore not deport the recent arrivals back to the UK.
I was a little [deliberately] flippant in the scribble above but I make no apologies. Migration is a serious problem for most countries at this stage and it’s going to take international cooperation to sort it out. There is a very small but very determined anti-immigration movement here in Ireland who are resorting to violence, arson of potential accommodation buildings and threats to politicians. I don’t support them in any way but I fear their numbers are growing.
It’s time our politicians earn their crust and make some attempt at sorting the mess.
