Closed petition Do not implement policies to turn around migrant boats crossing the Channel
Closed on
It has been widely reported that the Border Force staff are being trained to employ “turn-around” tactics so that small boats carrying migrants in the Channel can be turned back. The Government should not implement any such policies.
Policies like this are inhumane and shameful especially for a nation with our maritime heritage.
