Ah, Britainβthe land where innovation is dead, but desperate migrants are apparently reinventing logistics. Yes, it seems our latest βborder crisisβ now comes wrapped in latex and stomach acid. Reports suggest that some illegal immigrants are paying for their splashy entry into the UK by smuggling drugs inside themselves. Weβve officially reached the point where your intestines double as a shipping container.
And the best part? This isnβt even Plan Aβitβs the budget option. Because who needs passports or papers when youβve got narcotics and a strong gag reflex?
π€ Mule Britannia: Wading Through the UKβs Border Policy
Picture it: the English Channel, once home to smugglers, pirates, and holidaymakers trying to escape Butlinβs. Now? Itβs a floating Amazon Prime route for drugs and dreams, except the packaging is a human and the customs clearance involves not dying mid-crossing.
Meanwhile, government ministersβthose brave defenders of logicβare left flapping like wind-up meerkats on daytime TV. βWho couldβve predicted this?β they cry, clutching their pearls while ignoring every single warning from the last decade. Itβs like watching someone scream in shock that water is wet while standing in a monsoon.
Weβve poured billions into border control, drones, and Channel theatrics, yet here we areβbeing outwitted by a bloke with no shoes and a stomach full of crack cocaine. Not since Theresa May tried to dance has the UK seen such a profound loss of coordination.
And letβs not pretend this is about national security anymore. Itβs performance art. One side swallows drugs to get in, the other swallows outrage to win votes. Itβs a mutual addiction to theatre, just with fewer consequences for the folks in Westminster.
So whatβs next? Will ministers demand stomach scanners at Dover? Will we see βStop the Swallowβ slogans on the side of buses? Or maybeβjust maybeβtheyβll realise you canβt out-policy desperation with headlines and half a navy patrol boat.
But probably not.

Why invest in asylum reform when we can just keep losing drug trafficking wars to people in inflatable rafts? Want to fix this? Or just shout from the rooftops? Either way, we want to hear itβin the blog comments, not just the bits your uncle rants about on Facebook. π₯π¬
