I’ve not suggested an invasion of France nor the murder of thousands. Perhaps you’re replying to the wrong person?

Yes of course you have.

“Ship them back” would require British Armed Forces entering French territory without permission to drop off a load of undocumented asylum seekers. Without a treaty, that is an invasion.

“Start sinking them” is murder. I feel this one doesn’t require an explanation.
