The barge to house 500 asylum seekers which has arrived off Cornwall on the British coast is a floating failure.
It symbolises the complete failure of the UK Conservative Government to halt small boat crossings across the English Channel despite Rishi Sunak grandly announcing that is one of his five priorities.
And it represents the failure to sign return agreements for the swift repatriation of those who are deemed economic migrants rather than asylum seekers or refugees and therefore not entitled to stay under a UN convention.
