i bet you don't get paid to collect it,and can generally clear the fouling yourself,nor have fishing boats purposely chuck ropes over the side when they see you coming/...............

the French authorities, who are failing to prevent the farce happening in the first place.

The UK has abrogated the agreement that required them to try.

The cost of the "AI" is surely going to outstrip the wage costs of some people to steer the boat, particularly as it will need people on shore monitoring it. That's assuming it even works. Let's hope it doesn't plow into a boat full oh photogenic migrants, we will never hear the end of it.

The Home Office is run by Patel I would put nothing past her

Skynet is coming....

Lol - you mean Skynet 6 is coming.

Skynet 5 has been in service for years, just like Skynets 1, 2 and 4...

Whatever happens the technology will be misused by the authorities. Local Councils use terrorism legislation to spy on what people put in dustbins and where kids spend their time to stop them getting enrolled in a better school, the police are using ANPR cameras to spy on the movement of people between Tiers.
