Re: Migrants...and their crisis....
The old assault boats HMS Bulwark & HMS Hermes would've been ideal about now patrolling the channel. Marines in RR boats rounding up the "Illegal Gimmies", packing them in onboard the mother ship, then steaming down to the South aflantic with supplies & lumber.
Dropped off in the uninhabited parts of the Falklands or some such other godforsaken "British" Island, public happy, gimmies get their wish to be in "British" safekeeping. If they don't like it, they could always try & get a dingy from somewhere & paddle across to the land of the Daygloes, that or back to Africa.
Just a thought mind.
