• Small boats

    Reform would clearly like to machine gun the occupants of small boats
    trying to cross the Channel. They really wouldn't have to machine gun
    very many at all in order to have the desired effect.

    I can see practical difficulties in getting the Royal Navy to do the
    machine gunning, so the obvious solution is to sub the work out to
    private enterprise. There must be criminal gangs who would be happy to
    oblige.

    Could remote controlled craft be used, so it could be turned into a
    computer game - a real life version of Grand Theft Auto.

    Surely, all the other political parties are just namby-pambying around.
    It's obvious what the British public wants.

    Hail Farage.

    The traditional title for this post would have been "A modest proposal".

    That was a very Swift response, Jon.

    Anyway, it's old news: the Ukranians call them "Human Safaris" <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn4n03xg981o>

    I recall similar videos of drones attacking civilians claimed to be
    Hamas. Some here may support the safaris on Ukrainians. Others will be duplicitous.
