💰 Funding is already there. Hotels for asylum seekers cost the UK ~£8m a day. Every 1,000 people diverted from hotels for 90 days saves ~£15m—money we can recycle into communities.

🔐 Security first: pre-boarding biometrics, watchlist checks, joint UK–France vetting. No boarding without clearance.
📊 Pilot numbers: start with 500 people/week. That’s ~26k/year—enough to cut small-boat crossings drastically if scaled.
⚖️ This model is: • Orderly (capped & scheduled) • Humane (safe & legal) • Economically sane (workers, not hotel bills) • Politically realistic (built on UK–France treaty already in force).
Instead of spending billions on deterrence that doesn’t deter, CAWP flips the script: safe ferries, real jobs, stronger communities.
The Channel will never be “solved” by slogans. But with a ferry, a work permit, and support for local councils, we can replace chaos with control.
