(The Sydney Morning Herald)‘Impenetrable border’: Farage claims Australian plan can stop the boats to Britain

The Sydney Morning Herald
Summary
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has proposed Operation Fortress, a border policy modeled on Australia's Operation Sovereign Borders, to stop small boats crossing the English Channel. The plan would use Royal Navy vessels to intercept and safely return asylum seekers to France, deny permanent settlement to anyone arriving by boat, and strengthen military-led border enforcement as a deterrent.

Critics argue the proposal is unrealistic because France is unlikely to accept returned migrants and warn it could trigger diplomatic tensions. Prime Minister Andy Burnham supports stronger border controls but emphasizes balancing enforcement with protection for genuine refugees. Meanwhile, the UK government has expanded efforts against people-smuggling networks, while the recent mass migration crisis in Spain's Ceuta enclave has intensified calls across Europe for tougher border security policies.
