Here's a Prime Minister who at least had the right attitude. Spoke quietly, meant what he said, said what he meant and carried a very big stick.
"It's simply not possible to stop and turn a boat around."
Maybe not for you Kev. But you are like the Tin Man with galvanised hair and no heart. You are a backroomer old mate, a schemer who's wafer thin and goes to water when confronted. And, you weak spirited loser, you're happy to send the world the message that we can't stop wooden boats. Insh-Allah, the will of God, que se ra, se ra, whatever will be, will be. Grow a spine mate, that's what you're there to do. STOP THE BOATS, THIS IS OUR HOME, YOU ARE PAID TO KEEP THE BORDER IN GOOD ORDER - DO YOUR JOB.Here's a Prime Minister who at least had the right attitude.

Winston Churchill facing maritime invasion in his Island home, London 4 June, 1940.
I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government — every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
