Boat missed
ANOTHER day, another shambolic attempt to fix Britain’s broken borders.
The latest big idea is a so-called “one in, one out” deal with France.
But Home Secretary Yvette Cooper refuses to put a number on how many bogus asylum-seekers will actually be sent back.
At the very most it is likely to be no more than 50 a week — while 800 are arriving every seven days
