Yes, it seems to have taken forever. And yes, it would appear the people smugglers have won. But this is simply because it has taken Europe this long, to understand what on earth’s going on, and no single country can resolve this matter in isolation, hence the delayed British response. But, mark my words, the brains that abound in Britain, are at work..
This morning, the largest ever number of illegal migrants on a single vessel, rowed across the channel. 230 rammed onto a single rubber vessel, endangering the lives of so many (230!), on a perilous journey. There will most likely be the usual outcry from the usual sources that offer nothing tangible in terms of a solution. But it is very clear that even the most liberal minds in the country, now see that these crossings have to stop. I am a firm believer in the same fact that nobody owns earth and that we are all here temporarily and as such, we should not create boundaries. HOWEVER, when there are laws and there is a boundary, it is called a border! Flagrant disregard is just so disrespectful! The idea that people can just get in a rubber boat and row across the channel, is just so disrespectful. It is ok to have sympathy for people displaced by war or seeking refuge etc., and many are probably left with no choice, BUT, to disrespect the UK and what it stands for, by just rowing on, in droves, is just so unacceptable. I do not believe any country should have to put up with such behaviour. There has to be adherence to due process. Entering country respectfully, shows respect to its people and laws…
Technology is the solution. Removing the motivation is a must.
Violence towards the illegal migrants or towards others, during protests etc., and the spread of hatred, is not a solution. It achieves nothing. Simple precedence confirms that. If we start hating on each other, we all suffer more.
The government will sort this sooner than many think. It has become an unacceptable situation
