Immigration minister Caroline Nokes is to visit Dover amid growing criticism of the government's handling of the surge in migrants crossing the Channel.

More than 220 people have tried the crossing in small boats since the start of November and Home Secretary Sajid Javid has declared a "major incident".

That's it then, everything sorted now no doubt :doh:

The UK will spend more than £100m chartering extra ferries to ease "severe congestion" at Dover, in the case of a no-deal Brexit.

Over the last few months, additional ferry contracts were awarded to French, Danish and British companies.

The contingency plans allow for almost 4,000 more lorries a week to come and go from other ports, including Plymouth, Poole, and Portsmouth.

The UK Chamber of Shipping said customs procedures were a bigger problem.

The extra capacity is all well and good but doesn't resolve the customs problem.

We can all relax the Gold Commander is doing his job keeping these illegals away. Shuffling paper committee meetings and interviews on the news while buffing up their gold bars. I feel so safe now I can get a good nights sleep knowing the Gold Commander has ordered a truck load of paper clips. :salute:

Veteran Conservative MP John Redwood has been knighted in the New Year Honours List.

The former cabinet minister and leading Brexiteer is among a number of MPs to be recognised for their political and public service.

Sir John, who has represented the Berkshire town of Wokingham since 1987, is opposed to Theresa May's EU deal.

Tory ex-minister Gary Streeter and long-serving Labour MP Alan Campbell have also received knighthoods.

Decisions on awards for political and public service are made by a committee independent of government.

While senior Conservative and Labour figures sit on the body, and it is chaired by a Conservative peer Lord Sherbourne, it has a majority of members who are not affiliated to any political party.

For services to politics :doh:

Home Secretary Sajid Javid is under increasing pressure to deal with the rising number of migrants crossing the Channel as he returns to the UK.

He has cut short his family Christmas break, but insisted there was "no one easy answer" as what he called a "major incident" unfolds off the south coast.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46714553
I guess he must now have an inkling of how the likes of Greece and Italy must be feeling.

Brexit: Juncker tells UK to ‘get your act together’
https://www.irishtimes.com/news/worl...ther-1.3744406

I do agree why should the EU do all the work with stuff that clearly has nothing to do with. But they have not been 100% on the ball with us, true what did anyone expect why should they. The UK Government can not blame it all on the EU and its about time they got their act together or this country is going to the 4th world.

Better odds than I would give, time to pop down the betting office and put a tenner on..:03:

Jimbuna 12-30-18 09:29 AM

A tenner, I thought someone of your means would put at least double that amount or even triple at thirty pence.

The issue of increasing numbers of migrants trying to cross the Channel in small boats to reach the UK has "no easy answers", the Home Secretary says.

New EU rules on fishing quotas could have a "grave" impact on the UK's fishing industry, a House of Lords committee has said - just a day before the new policy is introduced.

Under previous rules, crews often discarded, into the sea, fish that took them over their quota for that species.

But under the new policy, fishers must bring the full haul back to shore. This change is to stop fish being wasted.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46718663

So?..I have to agree have you seen the amount of fish thrown back, its shocking! The extra fish should drive down the cost for fresh fish. I like fresh fish but its 99% of the time I can not pay the disgraceful shocking high prices for it.


Moving on...
