"Britain should give it back just like the falklands problem solved " You're right. Simple. Do the people there have to become Spanish or Argentinian? Do they have to live in another country as immigrants? Do they have to leave their homes and come to the UK? | |||

"Britain should give it back just like the falklands problem solved Give the falklands back to who? Spain? They were never Argentinian. Argentina only went for them because they were on the brink of internal collapse and the best way they thought to unite the crumbling country was to project outwards and try invade. Also, what about those on the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar, it should be their say" I think they did have a vote a few years ago for people in the Falkland Islands, and the vast majority wanted to remain in Britain | |||

"Britain should give it back just like the falklands problem solved solves NI too..." The problem with NI is firstly it’s both Catholic and Protestant and reunification would put the Protestant population in jeopardy and secondly, a lot of British defence and ship building is made in NI. Even if the Protestant population was guaranteed safety, Ireland would have to compensate Britain in many, many, many £Billions to remove the defence and ship building industries. | |||

"All while Portugal are waving the Brits in with open arms for holidays they know how to earn some money ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Perhaps it would make more sense to have the UK border moved from France to the UK and scrap the Le Touquet agreement. The UK press (and many on here) continue to complain that France does nothing to stop migrants so why keep it if it is so bad? Once in the UK, an immigrant can then be properly vetted as to whether they are illegal or not whereas, if they are not physically on UK soil, the UK appears to be able to relinquish any responsibility. | |||

"All while Portugal are waving the Brits in with open arms for holidays they know how to earn some money ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I posted this in one of the the Rwanda threads, Some information of what current and expected (but still unknown) policy is and some precedents from The Briefing Room on Radio 4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0016hfv The UK has arranged a process where you can only claim asylum in the UK, but there are almost know routes to reaching the UK to do so. The solution would be to set up application centres in countries near areas of conflict and process there. If unsuccessful there is no point in traveling as the entire appeals process could be carried out and if you fail then coming to the UK doesn't help. Far better to give neighboring states the means (with the "hated" foreign aid spending) to build local economies and absorb these people closer to home so that they can return when it is feasible. Instead an expensive system that is likely to fail but sounds "tough". Regardless, you do welcome Spain enforcing control of its borders, right? | |||
