The UK’s Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper just revealed that a change in German law will help Britain crack down on small boats in the Channel. That’s right—Germany, a landlocked observer in the English Channel drama, is now apparently getting a co-producer credit on Britain’s favorite political soap opera: “Border Panic: Season Infinity.” What next? Switzerland helping with naval enforcement? Poland sending in paddleboats?

🌍 When in Doubt, Outsource Your Border Paranoia

Germany, bless its federal heart, is now tightening its immigration laws, and somehow that’s being spun as a “joint crackdown” with the UK. Is it just me, or does this sound like the foreign secretary accidentally walked into the wrong press conference and decided to improvise a policy win?

Let’s be clear: Germany doesn’t border the Channel. So unless Berlin plans to lease Normandy from France or launch some kind of pan-European canoe surveillance squad, their direct role in stopping dinghies from reaching Dover is… vague, at best. This is like asking IKEA to help control a wasp infestation because they sell wooden spoons.

But of course, no government ever missed a chance to look “tough” by chasing migrant shadows across international headlines. And since British voters are increasingly unmoved by the same tired “stop the boats” soundbites, why not add a bit of continental flair? “The Germans are helping now,” sounds way more effective than actually funding functioning asylum systems.

Because when your domestic immigration policy is falling apart faster than a flat-pack wardrobe without instructions, just point east and shout: “Look! Germany’s on board!”

Is this “cooperation” or just creative PR? Does anyone still buy the idea that faraway nations are going to fix Britain’s immigration issues—one dinghy at a time? 🇩🇪🚫🚤
