"We have had tens of thousands coming across the channel. These are military-aged men. They are not refugees. They are not asylum seekers. They are economic migrants, and they are not fleeing a war-torn country last time I checked."
"We've already tried this, and the French have no incentive whatsoever to fulfill on this pledge. If the U.K were serious about stopping refugees and illegal immigrants, what would that look like?"
"I think it's actually feasible. We've got to build a giant wall across the Channel. This isn't talked about much. I think if you consider that we've spent a billion pounds now for six years trying to deter small boat crossings, it's not happened."
"We couldn't even patrol the channel if we wanted to. The Royal Navy Fleet, apart from our nuclear subs, we only have four assets in the entire Navy that are seaworthy."
Winston Marshall expressed frustration over immigration across the English Channel, labeling many arrivals as economic migrants rather than refugees. He criticized the recent U.K.-France deal aimed at curbing immigration, stating it lacks enforcement incentives. Marshall suggested an extreme solution: constructing a giant floating wall across the Channel, arguing that current spending on deterrents has failed. He highlighted the inadequacy of the Royal Navy's resources for patrolling the area, emphasizing the need for a more effective approach to immigration control.
