Treaty of Le Touquet

Treaty of Le Touquet is how the border between UK and France is controlled.

This alls the UK border to be in France and the French border in UK, so that you clear both before boarding, allowing you just drive off the other end.

Simples.

This means that France is, in effect, policing the UK's border.

Currently, while the UK insults it.

It won't take much for France to scrap his treaty and so just send all to the UK border in Dover or Folkestone.

Numbers will not go down.

And we would not be able to return them.

Because the UK left the Dublin agreement. It need not have left, or could have negotiated a replacement.

But didn't.

And Article 16 of the NIP is not a weapon.

Not as Brexiteers understand it.

It's a dispute resolution mechanism, which, after a period of time, allows the other side a proportionate retaliation.

And for it to work as being sold, the UK would have to show the NIP isn't working as negotiated.

But it is.

So, if the UK were to take unreasonable action, the EU could take proprtionate unreasonable action back.

It would hurt us more.

These are lessons the Brexiteers have yet to learn.

But will.

Though, they'll blame France and the EU.
