Another week, another fleet of small boats crossing the Channel — and another chapter in Labour’s ongoing betrayal of Britain’s borders. Since Sir Keir Starmer’s risible one-in, one-out deal came into effect almost 10,000 illegal migrants have landed on our shores. That’s the population of a small town — or, to put it bluntly, the equivalent of seventy-three Bell Hotels in Epping, all filled to the brim. This is not immigration management. It’s national self-harm. And it’s happening because our political class no longer believes in the sanctity of borders or the right of a sovereign nation to decide who comes here and on what terms.
Labour’s much-heralded deal with France is a farce. In the time it has taken almost 10,000 people to arrive, only 26 have been removed. 26. That’s fewer than a single dinghy’s worth of arrivals on any given day. Meanwhile, Labour boasts of this as if it were some kind of triumph. They’ve managed to exchange a handful of people with Macron’s France while thousands pour in unhindered. This is not a deterrent. It’s an invitation. The people-traffickers know it, the migrants know it, and every taxpayer watching the farce unfold knows it too.
The Government scrapped the Rwanda plan within days of taking office — not because it had failed, but because it might have worked. It might have sent a message that Britain will no longer be a soft touch for anyone with a paddle and a smartphone.
Labour couldn’t allow that. They would rather virtue-signal to Brussels and Strasbourg than defend Britain’s borders. What we are witnessing is not incompetence — it’s ideological surrender.
Labour’s leadership believes that controlling immigration is somehow unkind, that enforcing the law is intolerant, and that protecting our national character is xenophobic. This is why the crossings continue.
This is why our hotels, once meant for families and tourists, are now filled with young men of fighting age from entirely different cultures. And this is why the British public are losing patience fast.
1,075 people arrived on a single day last week — that’s only 230 shy of the all-time record of September 3 2022. People traffickers are using bigger, more dangerous boats. They know there is no real risk. There is no deterrent. There is processing, housing, and welfare — all funded by the British taxpayer.
Labour tells us this new scheme will “smash the gangs.” But what it has done is smash public trust. It’s the same tired pattern of government after government: big words, press releases, and meagre results that may as well be none at all. All the while, our communities buckle under the strain, our housing stock shrinks, and our sense of national cohesion erodes.
This crisis will never end until we have a government that is willing to act decisively and unapologetically. That means ending the pull factors and adopting the approach Advance UK would take — immediate deportations for all illegal entrants coming and here already – regardless of if they are a man or a woman; withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights; repealing of the Human Rights Act and withdrawal from the UN Refugee Convention.
If someone enters illegally, they should be detained and removed, not rewarded with taxpayer-funded accommodation. The British people have had enough of politicians who talk tough while waving boats ashore.
We need a government that will treat our borders not as an administrative inconvenience but as a red line — the foundation of a functioning nation-state.
Because if we cannot control who enters Britain, we will lose control of Britain itself. And right now, under Labour, that is exactly what is happening.
Labour’s border policy is not just a failure. It is a betrayal — of the law, of the taxpayer, and of the very idea of a sovereign nation.
Until this government finds the courage to defend our borders with the same conviction it defends its globalist ideals, Britain will continue to drown in the chaos it refuses to confront. 9,912 arrivals. 26 removals. That’s not immigration policy — it’s national negligence.
