    -Patel wants to put a "floating barrage" in the busiest shipping lane in the world...Raab had no idea that the Dover-Calais crossing was the main artery for exports to Europe, their new NI secretary Bradley didn't even know about its sectarian divide...we really are in the hands of people so ill educated about the most basic political & geographical UK facts it beggars belief.


    Priti Patel 'furious over leaks that blame her for Dominic Cummings' "mad" ideas to house asylum seekers on remote Atlantic islands' - but Home Office IS considering a floating wall in the English Channel

    Downing Street is the driving force behind proposals to hold refugees offshore
    It has asked officials to consider the option of sending asylum seekers abroad
    The centres could be built on the Isle of Wight, the Shetlands or the Isle of Man
    Migrants could also be flown out to Morocco, Moldova or Papua New Guinea


    Friends of Priti Patel reacted with fury today over leaks that suggested she was behind a range of madcap ideas including processing asylum seekers thousands of miles from Britain.

    Reports have suggested the Home Secretary was looking at 'offshoring' refugees arriving in Britain in places including Ascension island and St Helena in the south Atlantic, Moldova in eastern Europe, Morocco and even Papua New Guinea.

    Leaks now being investigated also suggested the Home Office had considered putting wave machines and a floating 'wall' in the Channel to stop migrant crossings in small boats and planned to house them on retired ferries.

    Although the wave machine idea has been dismissed the department has consulted maritime industries on the plausibility of a floating barrage between England and France, the Financial Times reported. The idea of using ferries is also being considered...

    etc ad nauseam:
