I think you’ve over simplified it. There’s a world of difference between an economic migrant and an asylum seeker. And buying a ticket requires an individual to give their passport/visa details. In that way, the only way to make the journey is illegally, irrespective of status.
A genuine asylum seeker, rock solid in the evidence that can support their case will, in all probability, hand themselves in. If they don’t do it within a reasonable timeframe they jeopardise their case. Even then, only 40% of applications are approved.
The U.K. pay millions to France, increased by £54m last week, for them to address the issue on their side of the channel. Why does the French Coast Guard shepherd them out of their waters? Because they’ve been told not to do more than that if the migrants resist arrest, and resisting violently is on the increase. Why do the RNLI get involved? Because by international law they have to. Officials on both sides are doing the right thing. And the immigrants know how to play the system.

Still feeling rotted, freezing cold one minute, sweat pooring off me the next. Had a splitting headache for 5 days now. Not eaten in 5 days either, but it's still coming out of me like water. Take a couple of tests now so at least it's not CVD. Invited for a free game at Castle Stuart today, but not a chance of me playing any time soon..poor Rupert is gagging for a walk, to the wife can only manage him for a short walk over the islands
Great food, didn't want to wait around for change (£46 threw down £50)
Plus they usually very good. Can't judge too harshly with covid hitting them
Will order a take away from them this week still best around

Having to join the wifes familly for a "fun" night in the local pubs. After a cracking curry their choice of pub was a virtually deserted one with no atmosphere but a pool table. I hate pool. So the men quickly started to play, with winner stays on. Joy of joys. Watching pool being played by people who really can't play and the winner was a young lad who's sole tactic was hit and hope. Plus one of the sons is a loud mouth moron who NEVER buys a round.

Cozy Club in Portsmouth. Decent service but food was rubbish and the price eye watering. Avoid.
My cat brings in around 5 a day after a night in the woods
People who moan about the prices after eating in a restaurant - don't they check the menu outside/when sitting down before they order? 
By time you found somewhere else to eat not worth it 🤷
I guess that's why there are online menus...
