    No, he's promising what I quoted, 24hr staffing at 35 ports & airports, sounds quite reasonable to me.

    I think you might want to read their website a bit more;

    "Promising an action programme to limit and control immigration and secure Britain's borders, he declared: "We are announcing a new British Border Control Police. We will have one face at the border. One police force. With one chief constable. With just one job: securing Britain's borders."

    Says one part;

    "A new police force specially designated to control and secure Britain's borders"

    Says another part.

    http://www.conservatives.com/tile.do?def=news.story.page&obj_id=121023

    So they are promising to 'secure' the borders, which any sane person will tell you is impossible.

    No-one in their right mind believes ther'll be a ring of "border police" all holding hands around the coast of Britain - come on now bonga, you're implying the impossible.

    What is being suggested, and quite reasonably so, is to have 24hr staffing at the 35 main ports and airports.

    I think most people would be amazed to learn that Dover one of our main ports doesn't have 24hr staffing, which leaves a gaping big hole in our border controls.

    Sensible suggestions to deal with a key issue. What else do you expect from a moderate temperate man like Michael Howard.

    Sorry, maybe I'm missing something here, you read the qoutes I gave you? The ones right there which mention 'secure' borders?

    I think you will find you're the one telling lies here, they are promising 'secure' borders. They do it several times on their website.

    Bongsa theres nothing contrary in what I'm saying and what the Tory web-site is saying, please keep up.
    24hr staffing of our major ports & airports plus intelligence, is "securing our borders" - theres no contradiction my friend.

    Lets review this conversation shall we.

    I said;

    - Well he is promising border control, which we all know is impossible

    You said;

    - No, he's promising what I quoted, 24hr staffing at 35 ports & airports, sounds quite reasonable to me.

    Except he is promising border control, it clearly states that several times on the website.

    So Rich Kid, do you think a Conservative government could 'secure' our borders?
