UK to use nets to disable dinghies carrying illegal migrants across English Channel, France stymies efforts

Oct 14, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 13 Comments

There has been no agreement or cohesion across the EU in attempting to control the Muslim migrant influx; the EU, after all, continues to pursue policies of open-door immigration.

Britain is finally attempting to make efforts to control its crisis of illegal Muslim migrants arriving via the English Channel, even though Dan O’Mahoney, its Clandestine Channel Threat Commander, appointed by UK Home Secretary Priti Patel, insists that that the vast majority are “genuine asylum seekers.” Oddly, the same  Dan O’Mahoney praised the work of French authorities in tackling the migrant crisis last month. The UK is “preparing to use nets to routinely ‘disable’ dinghies carrying migrants across the Channel.” The intent is to transfer the migrants back to France, but the whole taxpayer-funded venture appears to be nothing more than posturing in the face of public embarrassment. France has also been stymieing UK efforts, even aiding migrants leaving its country, because France doesn’t want them but has avoided coming right out and saying so. Doctors Without Borders has also stated that around half of the migrants in Paris may be coronavirus positive.

It is obvious that there are sincere asylum seekers among the migrants, but the big problem is that there is no system in place to separate those who are genuine from those who are abusing the system and even worse, are jihadist infiltrators and Islamic supremacists. It has already been shown that most “refugees” are economic migrants who are jumping the queue and illegally entering the EU. Many bypass the first country they land in, thus violating EU refugee law (the Dublin Agreement) and make their way to the country of their personal choice — usually the countries with generous welfare benefits. It is also worth noting that the vast majority of “child” migrants have been adults who lied about their age.

Rather than penalize illegal migration, the EU is encouraging it — along with the chaos it has already brought into Europe: rape gangs, jihad threats, rising crime, criminal jihadist gangs, violent Islamic antisemitism, no-go zones, sharia patrols, the spread of Wahhabism via mosques and madrassas, lack of integration, etc.. Doing away with the Dublin Agreement is now a goal of the EU, so as to further facilitate illegal migration, while authorities pretend that the threats and chaos are not happening. All the while, Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups work with Leftist groups that ascribe to multiculturalism. Together they continue to push open-door, unvetted immigration policies upon their countries, to the detriment of Western civilization.

“Exclusive: Britain to use nets to ‘disable’ dinghies carrying migrants across Channel,” by Edward Malnick, Telegraph, October 10, 2020:

Britain is preparing to use nets to routinely “disable” dinghies carrying migrants across the Channel, the former marine in charge of preventing the crossings has signalled.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Dan O’Mahoney, the Clandestine Channel Threat Commander, revealed UK authorities were “very close” to being able to deploy a new “safe return tactic” under which personnel would render individual boats inoperable and then use British vessels to transfer migrants back to France.

However France is currently refusing to accept such migrants back into the country – delaying the use of the tactic.

Setting out his four-stage plan to tackle the problem of illegal migration across the Channel, Mr O’Mahoney also revealed the Government was using social media campaigns and officials posted abroad to urge would-be migrants in Africa and the Middle East to claim asylum in the first safe country in which they arrive, rather than risking their lives in an “incredibly dangerous journey” to reach the UK illegally.

In his first newspaper interview since being appointed by Priti Patel in August, Mr O’Mahoney said the current facilities for processing migrants were under a “significant amount of pressure”.

His remarks came after it emerged that the Government was considering using offshore holding centres, disused prisons or retired ferries to temporarily accommodate those who reach the UK illegally.

He also suggested that there was a case for increasing sentences for those involved in facilitating illegal crossings, stating: “I think it’s rare for a law enforcement official to say that they think the sentences are sufficient.”

The number of clandestine arrivals is exceeding 300 per day – the greatest numbers on record – after a sharp decrease in travel by air and rail during the Covid-19 pandemic……

While in 2019, less than 30 per cent of clandestine entry to the UK was taking place via small boats, the proportion has now jumped to 70 per cent, amid the major impact of Covid-19 on other forms of travel.

Mr O’Mahoney insists that his team’s first priority is to save the lives of those put at risk by the crossings, followed by focusing on securing the UK border and increasing public confidence in the action being taken against the flow of small boats.

The first stage of his plan involves using social media and outposts of government agencies to persuade migrants in Africa and the Middle East against heading for the UK via an illegal route.

“The vast majority of people seeking refuge in the UK are genuine asylum seekers. And they come from incredibly difficult conditions in the country, some of which I’ve been to and witnessed first-hand, and I have a huge amount of sympathy for that.

“So we’re not saying stay in this very dangerous place, what we are saying is … you will pass through multiple safe countries with perfectly civilised and functioning asylum systems. Rather than paying huge amounts of money for facilitators to move you across Europe through all of these safe countries, and then risk your life in an incredibly dangerous journey, claim asylum in the first safe country that you come to…..

        Yes … food-poisoning jihad … Muslims are required to hate kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’. Only Islam mandates hatred of the ‘other’.

        Christianity commands loving one’s enemies. Judaism commands loving our neighbor.

    “Mr O’Mahoney insists that his team’s first priority is to save the lives of those put at risk by the crossings, followed by focusing on securing the UK border…….”

    1. These economic migrants are not ‘having their lives put at risk’, they are deliberately putting their own lives at risk by committing the criminal act of entering a country illegally in order claim welfare payments to which they have absolutely no right whatsoever. That is trespass and theft.
    2. It is O’Mahoney’s first duty to uphold the international law, which in this case means upholding the integrity of international borders and the laws surrounding them. Safeguarding any criminals involved in contravening these laws is secondary, as would be the case with any other criminal activities.
    3. The vast majority of these so-called ‘asylum seekers’ are scrounging bogus opportunists and are only creating difficult situations in the UK that are going to become every bit as bad as the ones they left because they were complicit in creating the original bad situations themselves in the first place; this is the chaotic baggage they bring with them.
    4. Quite why the UK authorities are putting these ‘ingenious’ new retaliatory measures with the nets into effect now is a bit of a mystery as the weather worsens and daylight hours decrease towards winter. They should have done this months ago but didn’t – deliberately?

    In the London “Daily Telegraph” today, there is a story about a group of migrants who came ashore from a top-of-the-line Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat, which was propelled by a new 300HP outboard motor, (Price tag 20,000 Pounds Sterling)! The British Border Force can only drool at the sight of expensive equipment like that! The smugglers clearly have a license to print $1000 bills! Yet this invasion goes on unopposed 24/365!

    I have said before, and I will say it again, “The invaders crossing the English Channel are only DECOYS to take the Border Force’s attention away from the Essex marshes, where boatloads of invaders are arriving unseen every night in the reedy creeks, ready to be taken by truck to the big cities where they can claim their Social Security checks for themselves and their 4 wives, and multiple children, who will shortly be joining them from Shit-hole-stan.

    Mine fields worked to help keep out the Germans back in the 40s. Maybe the Brits should do that to stop the invasion?

    The jihadist IDEOLOGY turns Muslims into merciless sociopaths when they believe it.
