Still Thursday

6. The invasion

Not a single boat migrant arriving in the UK this year has been deported, in spite of sweeping new powers given to authorities in January to block asylum admissions.

According to Migration Watch, which reckons 2021 will see more than 10,000 people arrive illegally in the UK, the situation will only improve if migrants “are returned quickly in much greater numbers.”

After 87 boat people arrived in Britain in a single day last week, The Foxholelooked into the data and noticed a staggering 86% spike in arrivals since last year. In total, 531 migrants have come to Britain illegally in 2021, compared to 286 twelve months ago.

5. Northern Ireland

I’ve not studied this but saw it.  You know anything about it?

Lord Moylan:

The NI Protocol is morally and constitutionally insupportable, practically unworkable and patently inconsistent with the bicommunal decision-making processes at the heart of the Good Friday Agreement. It threatens peace in NI, is radically flawed and needs to go.

Sean Whelan RTE:

Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney:

"The decision taken by the British Government today clearly undermines this commitment.

A unilateral announcement is deeply unhelpful to building the relationship of trust and partnership that is central to the implementation of the Protocol"

  1. (1) The vaccine business proved beyond doubt that Brussels negotiated in bad faith so it can take the Protocol and stick it up its bottom.

    (ii) Anyway the buggers haven't ratified it yet so there is no international treaty to violate.
