85-90% of handguns used in criminal activity in Toronto can be traced back to the USA. At what point do WE call a NATIONAL SECURITY EMERGENCY and impose some pain on the Americans? If they can do it over 41 lbs of fentanyl, surely we can do it over thousands of illegal guns.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it.
