Johnson has landed a no doubt highly remunerated and low-effort job peddling nonsense to the mental old ****s who still read the Daily Mail. Grimly predictable.

Australia has reduced migrant boat deaths to zero. How? Some time ago they decided to properly enforce their borders. Anyone who illegally enters Australia automatically revokes any right to stay. There’s no tantalising carrot dangled in front of them saying: if you can make it to the shore, you can claim asylum or disappear into the night, like so many do in the UK. To prevent horrible unnecessary tragedies like the migrant boat sinking in the Mediterranean, we need to control our borders properly to remove the incentive for people to set off on these dangerous journeys. Anyone who says otherwise is complicit in these tragedies. And we also need to ameliorate the impact of migrants by housing them with the people who want them here. Instead of placing them in deprived communities who haven’t asked for them, home them with the Guardian readers who demand they be able to come. Pass a law mandating that everyone who has said that all migrants are welcome, or we should have open borders, has to take them in. Then everyone will be happy. The Guardian readers will appreciate the diversity of having young men from war torn countries in their homes and the migrants will prefer being in nice neighbourhoods with people who welcome them.
