Title: Lifejackets, Dinghies, and Diplomatic Delusions: Welcome to Brexit Beach!
Ah, the glorious fruits of Brexit—a new dawn where British sovereignty reigns supreme, and the French navy kindly delivers boatloads of migrants right to the UK's soggy doorstep. According to Nigel Farage, that is.
Sir Keir Starmer’s big bold migrant deal with France has apparently resulted in... lifejackets. That’s right. Not patrols. Not deterrents. Just good ol’ buoyancy aids, handed out like party favours. Because nothing says "we’re serious about stopping crossings" like providing floatation support and a gentle nudge toward Dover.
Farage, never one to miss a chance for a triple espresso of outrage, responded with his signature three-word takedown: “It won’t happen.”
And let’s be honest, Nigel has a point. If the French navy is now basically the Channel’s UberPOOL for dinghies, we might as well set up a welcome booth and hand out Pret vouchers upon arrival.
The government's response? A strong, determined hope that maybe, just maybe, the French might start intercepting boats by May. Hope is not a policy—it’s what you do when you’ve lost the instructions and the Allen key.
Meanwhile, small boats continue to set new records, with over 700 people crossing in one day. That's almost enough to form their own local council and still have enough left over to manage waste services better than Birmingham.
Reform UK’s position? Leave the European Convention on Human Rights, repeal the Human Rights Act, and replace Border Force with Nigel Farage in a speedboat armed with binoculars and a megaphone.
We’ve officially reached the point where border enforcement involves more diplomacy than deterrence and more flotation devices than policies. Maybe next time, just ask France to send us croissants instead—it might be more effective.
