As our friend Mr Hēméra kindly pointed out BTL yesterday, my vision of a single small-boater being recycled endlessly between France & Dover & back to gain credits for the Frogs under 'one in, one out', may have come true almost immediately. The Beeb led with the story yesterday, although the Graun kept it off their front www page altogether: we can imagine which approach goes down better with ministers ... And the Beeb also announced that Mr Frog is no longer reckoning to puncture or otherwise intercept the boats in shallow water ... citing 'Elf-n-Safety! (Have you ever seen a wheelchair user trying to access the Metro? They have absolutely no concept of E-n-S there.)
All very entertaining. And the supplementary questions are so easy to generate, it's almost embarrassing to do so. But here goes, for starters.
- OK, chapter and verse, please, on how exactly the 'one in ...' points system works in such cases ...
- ... and was it meant to be, errr, a deterrent?
- Does this enterprising chap get another round of free legal aid in order to plead his case all over again? With added sobbing and explanations of how France is unsafe for human habitation?
- Where did he get the money for a second voyage? (maybe the Louvre heist ..?)
- How come the meejah all have interviews with him??
- Have the handful of (volunteer) Rwanda deportees also come back?

PS: thinking again about 4 & 5 above: along with two packets of 'Duchy Original' oat biscuits, did his "HMG farewell goodie-bag" from last time include €1,000 and an i-phone?

The French get plenty of immigrants just walking over the border whether from Italy or Spain or in many of their overseas territories, far more than Britain. They've little incentive to take back those who've tried to reach GB, they want rid of them.
Jolly Japes, what what...... One can but wonder just how long the UK public will sit back & meekly accept what is offered up as "strong & robust government"
