Biggus,
Hope you are well, not heard from you recently. That's making an assumption that the rest of "Europe" give a rats @rse about stopping them. After all, when the preferred destination is not your own country, why make life complicated.
Beagle,
I have to totally agree with you. Since 2010 and the demise of, what appears to be a reasonably complete MRA4, it's being over budget was irrelevant, the scrap was still over budget to the same amount. Our island nation has been denied the ability to defend our borders from the air. Now we rely on an organisation (the EU) that has it seems an "interest" in shipping as many boat people as it can to our shores.
