The government today announced plans to float a facsimile of the South Coast in the English Channel in the hope that migrants will land there instead of the UK mainland. The floating construction is to be moored just off the coast, and to be designed with white cliffs and sandy beaches to look just like the real thing. It will also be equipped with beach huts, food and water, toilet facilities, medical supplies, beachwear and plenty of toiletries and towels.
The plan is that once a sufficient number of migrants have landed on the pretend England, it will set sail for the Atlantic and head South, to drop anchor off the shores of Morocco, never to return. Meanwhile, another such floating artifice will put in its place, to continue the process.
Critics have observed that, because the ships are sailing to warmer climes, have plentiful free accommodation, will have no old or infirm dependents, no billion-pound national debt and no taxation, they may therefore be filled to capacity with migrants from England.
