๐จ I have a very simple question for the authorities.
If a migrant boat is still afloat and the people on board are not actually in the water or in immediate danger, on what legal basis is the RNLI collecting them and transporting them to the UK?
Section 25 of the Immigration Act 1971 makes facilitating a breach of immigration law a criminal offence.
And under the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, the maximum sentence was increased to life imprisonment.
Yes, there are statutory protections for genuine rescue operations. I accept that.
But that makes the question even more important:
Where does rescue end and facilitation begin?
If these people are being rescued from genuine danger, show us the evidence.
If they arenโt in danger and are instead being transported towards the UK, then the public deserves to know exactly why that does not amount to facilitation under Section 25.
Nobody should be above the law.
Not the Government. Not people smugglers. And not anyone else.
Investigate it. Apply the law. And if a criminal offence has been committed, prosecute whoever is responsible.
@criminographer@LucyGoBag Watching my sister and best friend go through the struggle and pressure of breast feeding, I had decided I was going to bottle feed from the start. I suffer with anxiety and depression and did not want the added pressure as a first time mum.
Luckily we had no problems.
@criminographer@LucyGoBag Oh i completely understand. I used to love the train journey home for an hour. Just headphones on and nothing else.
Especially Sundays. Shoppers on a Sunday are another level.
@ovaleasteregg My children love Weymouth. My holidays were and my childrens have been caravan holidays. We have the best time. We have been to so many places and still loads more to go and explore.
@CaraLisette Had to have c-sections with both of mine. Both times saved my babies lives.
Ignore those with that stupid comment. You and your baby are alive and healthy thatโs all that matters.
@sophielouisecc Iโm sorry Sophie but most of the stuff you say you have no experience over! Social media yes but the world we live in now and the aggression on the streets I want my child to have a phone when they walk home from school!!
