The UK wants to turn back migrant boats crossing from France as part of a tougher plan by Home Secretary Priti Patel to prevent illegal crossings and 'send the left into meltdown' | latikambourke

Because there are no international waters between France and the UK, the British cannot copy Australia's tow-backs policy which has successfully stopped the flow of boats from Indonesia to Australia.The UK has tried to broker a deal with France but has so far been unsuccessful.

Favourable weather conditions in recent weeks have led to a rise in people attempting to cross the channel.The measure is part of a broader overhaul by Boris Johnson's government which includes preventing lawyers using legal procedures to stop failed asylum seekers from being deported.Just like in Australia, the issue is politically charged, with those wanting a tougher border policy accusing the media of turning a blind eye to the boats.

Fortescue waved at the migrants and yelled "hello are you ok?" as she attempted to interview them from her own vessel, holding out her microphone."We should ensure people don't drown crossing the Channel, not film them as if it were some grotesque reality TV show," said Labour MP Zarah Sultana.

ABC should dump Paul Barry to restore ‘integrity’ of Media Watch | Sky News AustraliaSky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton says the ABC should replace Paul Barry as the host of Media Watch to avoid having a “militant activist” host the show.\n\n“Media Watch as a premise has value, but it is completely undermined when you put a militant activist at its helm,” he said.\n\n“They should put somebody in there with a little bit of integrity who is OK to point out the mistakes of the ABC.”\n\n“It would make for a much better program and they would be able to restore a little bit of integrity.\n\n“I think right now having a man like Paul Barry in that position it is just untenable, and I think he is probably feeling the heat.”\n\nWhile Mr Barry does on occasion point out the mistakes of the ABC, his show dedicates significantly more air time to criticising News Corp.\n\nSky News host Chris Kenny said Paul Barry’s Twitter feed was “puerile” and what you would expect of a “19-year-old green-left uni student”.\n Houghtontweets TheRealPBarry What a yawn. Houghtontweets TheRealPBarry From a bloke who works for the most partisan media outlet ever seen in Australia Houghtontweets TheRealPBarry Mr Houghton should go fist himself. Imagine thinking the ABC give a rat's arse what he thinks.
