Much greater cooperation is the only way out of this.Sunak meeting with Macron tomorrow and the briefings have started.
The French will apparently reject calls for a return policy with the UK as the UK rejected their call for more legal and safe routes to reduce channel crossings. France will step up security on French soil with the UK prepared to increase payments to France.
In short, the crossings will continue, the press will get hysterical and the Govt will get even more absurd with their stunts and rhetoric.
Much more money and manpower are required to deal with the gangs who exploit those wishing to cross, taking advantage financially and then put lives at risk.
If this was successful, a proper holding place needs to be set up where decisions can be made as to whether people are genuine refugees or economic migrants,not the current shambles that exists.
It is achievable but the Tories and the French by not tackling the issue properly have both got blood on their hands.
