minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down4·7 days agoSorry, you DON’T want to prosecute gangs who exploit desperate people. Gangs who change huge amounts of money to provide death-trap boats to cross major shipping lanes. These gangs are amongst the lowest form of scum.
minus-squarepoVoq@slrpnk.netMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·7 days agoThese gangs would be immediatly out of business if you could, you know, just take a regular ferry or the tunnel they made some time ago 🙄
minus-squaremurvel@feddit.nulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 days agoSure. And they’re still absolute fucking scum.
minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·6 days agoNo, they’d just move to a different border.
minus-squareReCursing@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·7 days agoNot sure you could miss the point any harder if you tried
minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 days agoI understand your point . It’s just it’s nothing to do with the story. These gangs exist Brexit or not. There’s always a border somewhere.
minus-squareReCursing@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 days agoBy that logic we should get rid of all borders, right?

minus-squareZombie@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·7 days agoBut they’re so powerful! With their… water taxi service?
minus-squareSaleh@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·7 days agoI mean it is true that smuggling humans is done by violent and dangerous gangs. It is the same like with drugs. By making it illegal, the “market” is left to people willing to break the law and take serious risks. The solution is in providing people safe and legal ways to flee or to immigrate.
