Not to mention those who attempt to get across by boat. The UK's decision to leave the EU was driven largely by europe's lethargic response to the migrant crisis, and they already spend huge amounts of money on security in gibraltar, so this proposal makes no sense at all unless morocco (which hasnt exactly had it easy either) solves it dispute with Western Sahara so that they can defend their border.

Its absolutely ridiculous that the article doesnt mention migrants even once, and im stunned that Boris Johnson, of all people, is even considering this project

he probably thinks england can make a nut off of it once its paid off.
