Illegal immigrants/asylum seekers cross the English Channel from Calais to Dover in attempts to enter the UK, in overcrowded inflatable boats provided by people traffickers. Many don't make it (people traffickers, like drug barons, are one of the classes of 'human' that I would cheerfully hang, slowly and with extreme prejudice), the Straits of Dover are a busy shipping lane with nasty tidal currents and, often, bad weather; it's a lot riskier than crossing the Mexican border or Cuba-Florida, more like the Darien Gap, but the migrants are desparate and herded on to the dingies at gunpoint by the traffickers. The cartoon shows a boatload of them passing a crowd of Brits paddling the other way to escape the economic decline of the UK. It's not, in my view, particularly funny.

RMweb Gold Hroth Posted September 2 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2 (edited) Perhaps a more appropriate punishment for the people traffickers would be to stake them out at the low tide mark, facing out to sea, so they can see their encroaching doom? I have a vague feeling that the Execution Dock at Wapping for pirates, smugglers, etc, worked in a similar fashion. I may be wrong! Ok, mostly wrong. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_Dock but the more egregrious pirates were hung on a short rope and slowly throttled. It might have been a race between that and a rising tide to finish them off. Edited September 2 by Hroth update! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted September 2 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2 Local legend says that pirates were executed buried up to their necks at Llantwit Major beach, between low and high tide marks because they weren’t fit for land or sea. IIRC, by which I mean I read it somewhere not that I remember it happening, honest guv, the law changed to them being hanged with the Wales-England Act of Union under Henry VII. By Elizabethan times, the local gentry were so in cahoots with the Bristol Channel pirates (don’t forget this is where Henry Morgan came from a little later) that it was impossible to get a conviction against them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithMacdonald Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 It made I larf. Quote Coolest UK summer since 2015 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3rdwx4yx12o Perhaps desperate to keep us all "on message", Al Beeb swiftly followed up with this: Quote The highest temperature ever recorded in the UK was 40.3C at Coningsby, Lincolnshire in July 2022. Aha, that one again. Note the "Careful Ignoral" that the met.office weather recording site at Coningsby is in the middle of the RAF base, and the "highest temperature ever" was (completely coincidently) while Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4s were active. And... Quote The hottest day of 2024 before Monday was 30 July, when temperatures reached 32C in Kew Gardens and Heathrow - both in London. Gosh, it's not like a place with lots of hot greenhouses or jet exhaust gases could possibly have any effect on delicate thermometers is it? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because they're in weather stations that are designed to be able to take accurate recordings of the weather and not be affected by surroundings. For instance a few years ago there was one record temp that had been withdrawn because someone had parked a van next to the station and left the engine idling. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
