England doesn't need a wall it has Brexit.

England had the Original Wall™, it didn't work as well as hoped, was really expensive, and eventually they gave up on it. Just a pretty relic now.

Original Wall?  Might there be some in China that would dispute this trademark assuming you are referring to Hadrian’s Wall?

Pretty sure it was a Roman wall and it actually was initially pretty effective when properly garrisoned with non-indigenous troops

I would think the English Channel would be a better approximation of an effective border deterrent

It was, but the GWoC was built or at least started many years before the Romans built a wall in their English territory to keep the Scots and Picts out.

I think we should just bring our troops home from places they don't belong and put them on the border instead of building a wall but that's just me.

The amount of trucks that move daily from the UK back and forth across the channel by ship and the channel tunnel to mainland Europe causes them a lot of problems. A lot of companies are now fining the drivers of the trucks if an illegal is caught hiding on their vehicle, the companies themselves can also be fined by border control.

 

No matter how tough the crossing is made there is always some that will try, but the more deterrents the better.
