Unsurprisingly you dodged the real issue.

EU woke attitude to immigrants + millions and millions of people willing to risk it + ruthless people smugglers making bank.

That right there is the reason so many immigrants die at sea. Strict immigration laws (sending them back) would stop that right away.

Strict immigration laws won't do dick. That's just going to cause the smugglers to make even more money. As long as their countries are complete shitholes where they have a good chance of dying, they are going to take substantial risks to leave.

Sending them back works. Ask Australia

The UK government is now deporting migrants that cross the english channel, straight to Rwanda.

let the REEEEEEEEEEEEEE begin!

italy

Italy has had 30 different prime ministers since the end of WW2. What are the odds that whatever is happening there today will have any lasting relevance?

The last parliamentary election took place in 2018, the one before that in 2013. Governments might change, Berlusconi or Salvini might be able to backstab and overthrow Meloni, but the sizable right-wing majority in Italy will presumably last for at least a couple of years.

It also throws a big wrench in any EU plans for deeper integration or "immigration reform" (as Brussels understands it). It might also potentially give other right-wing countries like Hungary or Poland cover against EU infringement proceedings or funding cuts. And it might make a huge difference for EU policies which are decided via majority vote rather than unilaterally. Adding a heavyweight like Italy to the "no"-side brings them much closer to denying the "yes"-side the so-called qualified majority.

Tried that. Now tied up in legal battles which will likely last ages and cost a fair bit of money.

So far 0 people sent to Rwanda, just put out the clarion call for everyone who wants in to get in faster.

Yeah the last thing I read was Priti Patel saying the UK would ignore the EU court of human rights objection.
Figured that her and Boris would just fly the plane themselves

Allow illegal migrants to settle in Plymouth or Scarborough, they won't stay long
