HMS Mersey, migrants and the Royal Navy
After declaring a “major incident” the Home Secretary has formally requested assistance from the MoD to deal with a growing number of migrants attempting to enter the UK by crossing the English Channel in small boats
>he Home office will pay the MoD the approximately £20,000 per day it costs to operate the ship and she will remain on station until relieved by the two UK Border Force cutters returning from the Mediterranean; it is unclear how long this will take, HMC Seeker is currently alongside in Gibraltar and HMC Protector is in the harbour at Mytilini on the Greek island of Lesbos
>for HMS Mersey, conducting surveillance a few miles away from Portsmouth and in partnership with other UK government agencies is not especially demanding or a big departure from normal OPV duties; should she be involved in rescuing migrants from small boats and delivering them into UK ports that would be something different and probably attract a storm of controversy
>it is reassuring the RN is ready and able to bolster the UK Border force for a short period when needed; this ‘crisis’ has shown there is a shortage of both RN and UKBF patrol assets which needs to be addressed but even if better equipped, neither of these agencies can solve the problem of migration, which is a global issue requiring joined-up international agreements

Reality Check: Who rescues migrants in the Channel?
>the number of migrants crossing the English Channel by boat is small - it pales in comparison to those making the perilous journey across the Mediterranean - but there has been a small spike in crossings in recent months
>in 2018, the Home Office says 539 people attempted to travel to the UK on small boats; of these, 434 (around 80%) made their attempts in the last three months of the year
>it's the responsibility of the authorities there to ensure that anyone in distress in these zones receives assistance. In reality, if people are in danger, any boat nearby will have a duty to rescue them; those picked up in the UK zone will be taken to an English port and those in the French zone to a port in France

France steps up efforts to prevent Channel crossings
>the French authorities have set out plans to prevent people in small boats risking the dangerous Channel crossing to England after the Royal Navy agreed to deploy a vessel to the Strait of Dover
>measures being taken include improved cooperation between law enforcement agencies and more surveillance and security on beaches along the northern French coastline
>the French interior minister, Christophe Castaner, said: “This plan should allow us to end these crossings by migrants who are not only illegal but also extremely dangerous. It is in our interest, as it is for the UK, to not allow new smugglers to operate which would attract new migrants.”

"Smuggler hunter" says UK ignored his alert on migrants in Channel two years ago and now faces tens of thousands arriving by boat each year
>Carlo Parini, who spearheaded Sicily’s illegal immigration task force, today tells Britain it must take urgent action to prevent a potential wave of tens of thousands of migrants arriving by boat on our shores each year
>in the wake of hundreds of refugees making the perilous crossing from France to Kent, he told The Sun on Sunday that officials must be prepared to position ships on both sides of the Channel
>"there is always a risk that if you don’t tackle the new trafficking route now while it is a small trickle, it will expand to become a giant problem like the route from Turkey to Greece which has tens of thousands of migrants crossing a year.”

I thought she succeeded at almost everything despite the odds, like how she conquers her way across that big continent completely unopposed and then murders the rulers of a slave state and puts the slaves in charge in the assumption that they won't become slavers themselves. And her dragons are a get a get out of jail free card in most situations.
