Closed Build English Channel Defence System (floating barrier) to stop beach landings

Closed on

We want Government to pass law(s) funding an urgent off-shore Channel Defence System in the form of a 150 mile 'Floating Barrier' with patrolled open 'Sea Gates' for trade and travel. This Defence System should also include off-shore housing for intercepted illegal migrants aboard large ships.

Illegal migrants are landing on UK beaches with many more in France wanting to do the same. UK Border Force does not have the ability to prevent this happening and France isn't preventing this from happening - the urgency is higher now than ever before.

Government must protect our waters, people and property. Without question, when migrants arrive with no ID papers they could be from anywhere.
