‘Give them a bottle of water and send them back!’ Ex-Icelandic PM offers a simple solution to solve Britain’s migrant crisis. Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson gives Britain some advice on how to deal with illegal migrants. Illegal migrants arriving in the U.K. from mainland Europe should be handed a bottle of water and escorted back to France, former Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson has claimed.

Speaking to conservative broadcaster Nigel Farage on Thursday, the former leader of the Nordic Island nation said the solution to the ongoing migrant crisis, ‘looking at it from the outside, is simple. When a boat comes with illegal migrants, take them on land, give each of them a bottle of water, and bring them back to France,’ he said. The move, he believes, would drastically reduce the pull factor currently in place for migrants seeking to travel across Europe to reach Britain.

‘This in the long run should suit France as well, because I don’t think they want to be the middle ground for this huge influx of people to the U.K.,’ he added.

Gunnlaugsson, who led Iceland from May 2013 until April 2016, said that politicians often make things so complicated for themselves and insisted that the best solutions are often the simplest ones.

The Icelandic politician urged the U.K.’s Conservative government to abandon its costly plans to send migrants to the African nation of Rwanda for processing. ‘Don’t go ahead with Rwanda, just do this,’ he told Farage.

Such a solution could be thwarted by French President Emmanuel Macron, who has always insisted that any agreement on migrant returns must be negotiated at an EU level.

Despite numerous pledges from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to ‘stop the boats,’ England’s southern coast has experienced a considerable influx of undocumented migrants throughout the year. According to the Home Office, 26,657 people had made the journey across one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes to Britain up to the end of October. YOU CAN POST OUR STORIES ON SOCIAL MEDIA

THE STRANGER WITHIN MY GATE

.

The stranger within my gate,

He may be true or kind,

But he does not talk my talk –

I cannot feel his mind.

I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,

But not the soul behind.

.

The stranger within my gate,

He may be evil or good,

But I cannot tell what powers control –

What reasons sway his mood;

Nor when the gods of his far-off land,

Shall repossess his blood.

This was my father’s belief,

And this is also mine;

.

Let the corn be all of one sheaf –

And the grapes be all one vine,

Ere our children’s teeth are set on edge

By bitter bread and wine.

Rudyard Kipling, Nobel Prize for Literature. (1865 – 1936)
