The trouble with Bishop Rose she does not have the ability to leave the pulpit behind when in front of a camera, all she does is preach instead of simply talking as 'normal' people do when trying to put their point across.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

There are traffickers going back and forth, building the knowledge of how to do the crossing., far from brazen, they are becoming experienced.
How long would it take in one of those dingies? 4/5 hours?

Let me rephrase that for her.
What a PR stunt.
One of my son's school friends came into Britain illegally in a lorry (thankfully the driver was not caught and fined as a result of this). Once here he exceeded all their friends at GCSE and then just before he got his A Level results, he received a free ticket home. This was in addition to a free education in the UK, and he has now gone back to his country of origin to advance it.

IN some countries they deport people who commit serious crimes or fraud. USA are a good example. No second chance.

I see the local plod are more worried about people stealing abandoned dinghies than catching illegal migrants.

Great irony that the guy who does the filming is one of those eager to profit from the discarded boats brought by the people he films. As they say: there's no profit in peace.
There is an industry out of poverty, and migrants.
BTW those boats and motors are around £2500 a go. How many are in that yard? 300k worth?

Interesting police comments.
Since did not intend to 'permanently deprive' owner (sic) of goods it's not theft and not sure TWOCing covers dinghys?
Expect case to be dropped. This is police harassment in essence.

Be interesting to see the police prove they took it without owners consent.

Police have the right seize any property they deem relevant to a criminal investigation. To remove it subsequently from them without consent would be theft. The question is rather are the police involved in a criminal investigation in the course of detaining refugees.

Migrant washed up at Sandgate. Fire Service described the dead man as in a state of "stiff corpse".
Surely this would mean there should be a murder investigation launched at Napier? Someone must know what happened to him?
