RNLI lifeboats have once again been launched to intercept a small boat carrying illegal migrants, which is heading across the English Channel towards the Isle of Wight.
The French vessel ‘Abeille Liberte’ has been shadowing the migrants, who are thought to have left French shores near Caen at around 21:00 last night (Monday).
They’ve now been escorted into the middle of the Channel – and into British waters.
Tracking puts the small boat, which is thought to have up to 100 people on board, on course to be coming ashore near the Isle of Wight, though it is unclear where the dinghy is hoping to land. Conditions in the Channel are calm and the weather is good.
Despite this, the decision has been taken to launch All Weather Lifeboats from Eastbourne and Hastings – instead of nearer stations such as Bembridge, Yarmouth or Selsey – to go to the migrants’ aid.
It is currently unclear where on British soil the lifeboats will land the illegal migrants for processing.
Today’s migrant crossing comes just over 2 weeks after more than 150 migrants were intercepted in the English Channel by Isle of Wight lifeboat crews.
Bembridge RNLI and Yarmouth RNLI were tasked on Sunday 6th September to waters around halfway between the Isle of Wight and Cherbourg, later bringing the migrants ashore at Eastney Beach in Portsmouth.
The arrival of migrants sparked mass protests in Pompey, with crowds blocking coaches from leaving the area.
The incident prompted Reform UK Isle of Wight to warn that direct migrant landings on the Isle of Wight were now a ‘tangible possibility’, with the party claiming larger dinghies capable of travelling greater distances represented a change in tactics.
UPDATE @ 14:45 – A Coastguard Rescue plane from Newquay is now circling above the migrant boat, as it continues its way towards the Isle of Wight.
RNLI lifeboats from Eastbourne and Hastings have switched off their AIS tracking, to avoid people from knowing where they are heading.
However, it is understood that the migrants are to be brought into the Solent, to be landed in the Portsmouth area.

Another waste of peoples donations,RNLI have more important roles rather than escorting boats which are coming here illegally, it’s the job of Border Force and Navy
So true. Just the government cant figure it out.
You all live by the sea but don’t know maritime law !!
Could we please avoid any histrionic response to this, the RNLI once tasked have a statutory duty to attend (whatever the personal thoughts of the crew are).
No duty if sinking maybe but they are not sinking and there choice. Do what the Greeks do and fire shots on them to make them turn round
so just following orders then? Doesnt sound so righteous when put that way.
He said tasked, not ordered. Doesn’t sound so ignorantly stupid when put that way.
the people who volunteer can refuse to be involved – if they dont crew the lifeboat, it doesnt go to sea
A bit like a volunteering medic could refuse to treat someone if they were on the wrong side of war?
Do you understand non-discrimination ethics at all?
Why on earth woukd they refuse to be involved. They’ve volunteered to save lives.
As much as I detest the fact my country has become a cesspit of savages from overseas, I still don’t wish harm on these people. To say “don’t launch the boats” is horrendous. Get a grip and try to remember your humanity mate.
not really true. They are to rescue not border patrol.
I totally agree they are an emergency response and not there to replace our border patrol. Whilst these Muppets who deliberately put themselves in this situation aided by the French there could be a proper emergency going on.
What is the modern meaning of rescue? The boat has been coming over for nearly 24 hours so there are no mechanical problems, the weather is good and they have an escorting vessel in case of emergency. So why is the RNLI getting involved? What are they going to rescue the immigrants from? And all this on the doorstep of a naval base?
Ah yes, the Nuremburg defence.
You all live by the sea and not one of you know maritime law ,what a sorry state of affairs
can we not find a bigger launch and dump Farage and all his hate filled trolls on it tow it to the middle of the Solent and scuttle it and tell RNLI to ignore it it’s cargo isn’t worth a place on this planet!.
showing your true colours wishing death upon another human, no one here has mentioned doing anything of the sort to the current dingy.
Ah, but he’s a peaceful tolerant leftie.
So long as you don’t disagree with him.
“can we not find a bigger launch and dump Farage and all his hate filled trolls on it tow it to the middle of the Solent and scuttle it and tell RNLI to ignore it it’s cargo isn’t worth a place on this planet!”
You can go to Ukraine if you want to kill, they’ll buy you a ticket.
How many are you offering to house NONE I bef
No.
I fundamentally oppose everything that unpleasant characters like Nigel Farage, Steven Yaxley-Lennon, Rupert Lowe, Nick Griffin, Daniel Thomas and the like represent.
But the answer to their hate-filled rhetoric is not more hate and it certainly isn’t murder.
The response to their flawed ethno-nationalist ideology and the disinformation that supports it is calm, honest challenge and hope.
Well perhaps we can bring them all to you and you can feed and cloth the them
Well timed. All those nice new build houses on Horsebridge Hill will be available soon.
What!
Says it all, French escort to British waters.
Then saved by the wonderful RNLI.
was really nice of the french to do that, we even pay for that service.
We knew all along this would happen eventually. Why are the RN not doing their job and protecting our borders?
Because the RN is an armed force, we are not at war, it is not an invasionary force, it’s not their job, we are not under threat, these people are not armed. Next stupid question?
IMO they ARE an invasion force….
Because they have not been tasked to do so.
Burnham is a waste of space why are the French escorting them to British waters why don’t they just pick them up
As much as this s#it is pissing me off i can’t see how it’s Andy Burnham’s fault tbh. He isn’t the one sailing the dingy, he took over the country literally two months ago and is currently in New York for the UN summit.
He is the one who is doing nothing to stop the invasion which is exactly what this is
How is he doing nothing, you tell me what can he do and I’ll pass it on to him
Would you want to live in France!
Ask google…it will tell you in an instant.
They have always been doing this it’s not a new thing ..
Some of these people will be genuine asylum seekers.
Some will not.
I hope that on arrival they are all treated with dignity and that their cases are processed expeditiously and humanely.
Those with genuine claims for asylum should be rapidly granted refugee status and welcomed warmly into our society.
Those without should be returned to their home states, if safe to do so.
Throughout the entire process they should all be treated lawfully and with human dignity.
I don’t think that’s an unreasonable expectation of a civilised society like the UK.
Your obviously taking the piss, you couldn’t be that stupidly woke
deport all
Can’t. That WOULD be illegal.
These arrivals are illegal
Deport all the r acists living on the island.
it is 2026, not 1976
deport the terminally stupid welcoming them
Definitely
Deport all island racists.
I see you’ve lived up to your name again. You must lead such a simple life in your goldfish bowl.
No, that’s how decent civilised people think and behave. Because that’s the law. It’s a humanitarian code set in statute that all nations except despotic ones adhere to.
If they are genuine then they should come into the country the correct way
For many there isn’t a lawful method of entry open to them.
That’s why the Refugee Convention protects them. They can still claim asylum even after entering the UK unlawfully.
How, when there are no safe routes (thanks, Brexit) and they left without documentation under war conditions? If you were being bombed or hunted down would you wait long enough to apply for a visa? Or wait around long enough for a corrupt government official in charge of the rubber stamp to give a heads up to whichever side wanted to shoot you? Or would you just run?
You did learn that when many of the Jews trying to apply for exit visas in Nazi Germany did so they were rounded up and shot? Or disappeared into places like Tereseinstadt? That they had to go through many different countries in order to escape?
Yes they should but now yet again they’ve jumped the queue from people who are actually doing it the correct and proper genuine way, those people should be even more outraged
What a load of piffle , its this woke attitude that is turning our country into a joke. If you have that much sympathy for them go back with them and live with them there
This word woke….was it around when the treaties were signed in the 40’s and 50s? Included every lawmaker of the 149 member states. They were all woke were they? The ones who didn’t sign or ratify are the states where there is, or was, nasty cruel wars that have been going on for years and years. (Middle East, Gulf. States which simply exterminate civilians or drive them from their homes…creating REFUGEES. They’re not woke.
Do you watch the news …currently 10,000 of the 120,000 displaced ordinary Yemeni chased from their homes by fighting forces and fleeing across the Red Sea, in small boats to a small port town and are being given refuge….is that also woke?
Is woke the new ‘in’ word for ‘not a nasty bastard’? Is a non-joke country then only containing nasty bastards?
Does sympathy, compassion and understanding require non nasty bastards to live in war-torn countries and if so how would that remotely help anybody?
Every time someone like you mentions ‘woke’, someone like me knows you have no bloody idea what you’re talking about. To you it’s just the latest in a long line of made up insults to stop right minded folk from caring about others and puts US firmly in the human decency category and yourself into the nasty bastard camp along with people like Idi Amin, Pol Pot, the Houtis and the Saudis.
Oh, and originally the word WOKE was termed as a African American thing for people to be politically conscious, aware, awake to the racism that infected America. As opposed to the comatose half asleep nasty bastards who simply didn’t care about anybody else except themselves.
You absolute moron. People like you need to STFU, sit down, and stay quiet. Your opinion is disturbing at best. I genuinely hope you are just being a complete tool and rage baiting people. Can’t you see what is happening to this country because of these ILLEGAL immigrants and idiotic people with a mindset like yours.
It’s instructive that that many on the extreme right claim to be free speech absolutists, right up into the point someone uses that freedom to calmly express an opinion that challenges their own narrow worldview.
No I’m not politically motivated I can see and understand what is going on. You lot are sympathising with nonces and rapists. You and your leftist buddies are clearly blinded by mainstream media. If you can’t see what is really happening then you do need to be quiet. I hope one of them gets one of your family members and then tell me they are all welcome. Go f*ck yourself.
I absolutely do not sympathise with violent or violent sexual criminality.
Suggesting that I do is a sign of your desperation to discredit my opinion which is based in evidence and morality.
There’s no credible evidence that refugees are any more likely to engage in violent or violent sexual criminality than UK nationals.
Much as I disagree with you, I do not wish harm on you or your family. I hope you have a peaceful life filled with happiness. If you let go of hatred, you might just achieve that.
There are more white British men arrested everyday for crimes against women and children than illegal immigrants it just that it will sell more newspapers if that put on the front page illegall immigrant abuses a women , almost the papers and news are doing is scare mongering the British public and turning them in to paranoid people, it’s not the illegal immigrants you want to watch around your woman and children it’s the home grown british men you want to watch out for !!!
Some “interesting” responses to this comment.
Most of them seemingly ignorant to the fact that I consider being thought “woke” a compliment, not a criticism.
None however have challenged the points I’ve raised, just rather pathetically engaged in ad hominem rhetoric.
I’d be more intrigued to learn what points people disagree with, rather than hearing their views on my character.
Very true, from what I read on a daily basis on I.E
the island has more than their fair share of local numpties
a few migrants arriving will be a breath of fresh air.
Then I hope one of the immigrants gets one of your family members, then I would love to hear your opinion on illegal immigrants. You stupid f”ck.
Gets one? Gets one? For the last bloody time you foul mouthed ignoramus people gaining illegal entry are held in detention centres until either legal status is given via correct documentation or they are deported. If after legal status they walk among us they are no more or less likely to ‘get you’ than our own home grown nasty bastards….of which there appear to be more of here already. You should be more terrified of them. The immigrants coming here are usually better educated than most of us. You specifically it seems. IF you’re referring to things like grooming gangs….there came here legally (and also contain many white brits) and prey on disaffected girls NOT because they have brown skin and came from abroad but because they are MEN and that’s what some men do. Online life has provided predatory men with a network. If you took every brown skinned male out of those areas the network would still exist as it has done for generations. Its just easier for them now to trade locations, people and tactics.
There is a way to enter the country LEGALLY not by come over on a boat and jumping the queue. I hope you get f*cked up by one of them and see what you’re saying after. You spew all this anti racist nonsense but yet I bet you wouldn’t take any of those scumbags into your home. You silly sausage. I’m not racist or right wing I’m just not blind to the bullshit the government is actually doing.
I am more concerned about the local numpties
who are roaming around on the island.
Druggies and p*ssheads everywhere and hardly
any law to deal with them.
P*ssheads are rife in Sandown in broad daylight.
“Hardly a good adbvert for Island tourism”
Neither did the signatories who wrote the law for doing exactly that. Unfortunately they didn’t account for the wilful ignorance of the general public who refuse to acknowledge it.
Wake up. If your the father of the girl stabbed at Walsall, or the girl raped on brighton beach or the girl in Nuneaton….you would not be making this Statement. Im 3rd generation immigrant myself so cant be accused of being racist. I do know thru my contacts that out of 100 of these people 99 are non Ayslum Seekers. The are all either economic migrants, criminals on the run, people who think they will get free living in uk.
On the 6th September at around 3.15 pm we sat on a seat near Apply Beach and watched ten migrants wade out of the sea and run up the beach in all their clothes, they were rather wet, not sure where they went?
Did they have ‘MIGRANTS’ written on their wet clothes then, or just brown faces? And you phoned the police instantly did you?
STFU, it’s people like you that have the same mindset that are allowing the ruin of this once beautiful country.
No.
I absolutely will not stop sharing opinions that challenge the poorly-informed narrative of the far right.
I find your views repugnant. But I absolutely do not want you to STFU.
I spent over 20 years in our Armed Forces to defend British values, including the lawful freedom of expression.
Even stupid, morally bankrupt idiots like you should have the freedom to express their views and have them held up to scrutiny.
I don’t ask you to extend me the same courtesy because it is apparent that you are a foul, ill-mannered oaf with no idea how to respect those who don’t share your racist, isolationist worldview.
The only people that a ruining are country are the newspapers
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to prioritise the safety of our women.
Really? Did you think that when I was both a child and a teenager and was sexually abused by white men? Or as a woman who was raped by a partner? Most women of my age were told oh, keep away from men from men like that. Everybody knew there were ‘men like that’. Every park had a creepy park keeper, many had a dodgy uncle/neighbour, every school had a handsy teacher, there was always one friend in any group who had a father that we’d all rather keep away from. Every woman has grown up looking over her shoulder for potential threat from cradle to grave. It doesn’t end. What you do now by pointing the finger at specifically brown men is effectively give the majority white men carte blanche. And you have the bloody cheek to think we’d like YOUR protection? Hell no. What we’d like (not that anyone has ever asked) is for MEN to stop being predatory, looking at females as if we are something to be conquered and respect the fact that we are equal and entitled to say no. No does not mean men need to then use extra force.
We are not ‘your’ women, and never have been. We are not possessions.
No, you’re not and yes, every woman I know has been or felt threatened but look at the stats – across Europe, truly shocking. You won’t find them in the msm by the way
If they are genuine asylum seekers they would have to come here on a boat they would be brought here legally
Regrettably, the RNLI are doing yet more damage to their previous popularity. As a charity they were frequently people’s first choice when asked who they would give to…
Their prima facia purpose is to ‘save lives at sea/people on distress’…
Sorry, but travelling halfway (plus?) across the Channel to then act as a Taxi service to individuals who are entering our (a) country by illegal
means is not what they were set up to do. ESPECIALLY when said boats are being Shepherded away from French shores and through their own waters by French Authorities.
Sorry RNLI, but how will you respond if, Heaven forbid, there is an actual EMERGENCY in the operational area that these ‘rescue’ craft should be operating in?
I would be very interested in the Chief Executive’s ‘spin’ on that compared to the unsubstantiated accusations of ‘Brutish’ behaviour and bullying made by you?!
Not at all.
They are showing themselves to be an organisation of integrity.
In the face of unwarranted hostility they are steadfastly committed to their duty.
That earns my respect.
“Saving lives at sea” means all lives. Not just British lives. In the face of poorly-informed criticism from xenophobic idiots, they are continuing to save lives at sea.
I take my hat off to the crews and support staff of the RNLI.
They are the very best of us.
Maritime law go Google it , you should all ready know it living by the sea
Our brave lifeboat crews should not be put in this situation. Take whatever criticism and anger you have and direct it to those in power. International maritime law dictates search and rescue (SAR) obligations through a framework of treaties that treat the preservation of life at sea as an absolute priority. This legal duty completely supersedes a country’s standard domestic border enforcement and immigration policies. The French are breaking maritime law every time they escort one of these boats through the international shipping lanes and into UK waters and yet , we are still paying the French Government millions of pounds of UK tax payers money.
Your point of view would have some relevance were it not for the facts.
“criticism and anger you have and direct it to those in power”.
Would you not agree that Peter Sparkes, CEO of the RNLI and like many “charity” CEOs, on a salary of £175,000, is one “of those in power”?
Sparkes roundly condemned any criticism of those “brave lifeboat crews” to which you refer, yet gave NO consideration to the loyal RNLI workers in East Cowes, who lost their jobs when Sparkes decided to close down a perfectly reputable and worthy location for boat-building on the island and move it for no good reason to his”Manor” – POOLE.
“International maritime law dictates search and rescue (SAR) obligations” – it does indeed, but these people do not need “searching for” nor “rescuing”.
The whole world knows exactly where they are, where they “started from” and have not “capsized” or otherwise damaged their seaworthy transport.
They have deliberately set off from a country of safety, but have no need of “rescue”.
The RNLI CEO has good reason to refuse to go in those circumstances, but chooses to possibly endanger the lives of others at sea by using his boats as taxis.
This will eventually lead to a huge downturn in donations, Will beneficiaries and general goodwill towards a once worthy organisation.
Reap what you sow.
No, France is not breaking maritime law by shadowing small migrant boats through the English Channel’s shipping lanes. In fact, French maritime authorities argue they are strictly adhering to international maritime law by doing so.
The practice of shadowing—where a French naval or coastguard vessel follows a migrant dinghy without physically stopping it—is rooted in specific legal and safety frameworks:
1. The Legal Duty to Render Assistance
Under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), all vessels have a strict legal duty to assist anyone in distress at sea. French authorities shadow these boats to monitor them in case they capsize or require immediate rescue.
2. The Right to Refuse Rescue
Under maritime law, people on board a vessel have the right to refuse assistance if they are not in immediate, life-threatening danger. Because migrant groups frequently refuse to board French ships—wishing instead to reach UK territorial waters—French crews cannot legally force them onto a French vessel unless the boat is actively sinking or a mass rescue is triggered. Forcing an interception on an uncooperative, overcrowded inflatable dinghy carries an extreme risk of causing a capsize and mass drowning. Neither can they hole a vessel…it’s illegal, tantamount to attempted manslaughter.
3. Freedom of Navigation
The English Channel contains some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, parts of which are international waters. Under international law, vessels (even small, unseaworthy ones) possess the right of transit, and a coastal state cannot simply block or “push back” a vessel into another country’s jurisdiction without violating international sovereignty laws.
Evolving Interception Tactics
While shadowing remains a standard safety measure when boats are already fully loaded and deep at sea, France and the UK have agreed to new maritime enforcement strategies under a £662 million joint deal. (For that price we could feed, clothe and house every asylum seeker currently on the books). This agreement has altered French “maritime doctrine” to allow for more aggressive interceptions, but with specific limitations:
Once a migrant boat successfully navigates past the French coast into the open shipping lanes, French vessels will continue to shadow them until they reach the UK border line, at which point the UK Border Force or RNLI typically takes over the transit to bring the passengers to British ports.
Now, ALL THIS INFORMATION is at people’s fingertips within seconds. It’s legally known, all agencies know it and that is why they respond the way they do. The MEDIA however, choose not to tell anyone this, just keep on pumping out politically-driven click-bait.
Every single one of the pitchfork brigade is being played. Almost all are too stupid to join the dots and ask why.
Dose anyone on this island know maritime law because of you did you would know that they have to help any boat out that’s in distress
What are you on about.
they’re no where near the island. RNLI boats are miles away. Get your facts right before you put a story out! Can’t believe people listen to you. Just shows the level of intelligence.
Do why are the french escorting them into our waters…
Why don’t we just escort the. Back to french waters.
The problem is the French, not the migrants.
Hahahahahahahaahaaa. Oh, that old one
So why are the french escorting them into our waters…
Why don’t we just escort them back to french waters.
As they are illegal,they should be arrested,detained,then sent back the same day!
WE cannot dump ANYBODY onto EU soil. WE LEFT THE EU. Twats like you voted for it.
Please make the ‘Abeille Liberte’ take them back. If this “sheperd boat” strayed into British waters then arrest the vessel for assisting in the trafficking of illegal immigrants. I’m pretty sure that’s what the French would do if we sent them all back. Glad the Isle of Wight RNLI have seen the light and have not responded this time. Incidentally, my understanding is that because the RNLI is a fully independent, private registered charity funded almost entirely by public donations, it does not have any Statutory Duty to assist. In my opnion, it shouild not.
As ex RNLI crew i can reassure you there is so statutory obligation. There are layers of governance around every launch. If the launching authority or coxswain/crew dont feel happy to launch, no one can force them
not really sure why this is relevant since they won’t be ending up on the island. can’t help but feel this is being reported as breaking news just for the sake of stirring things up
Of course it is. Always reports what Reform wants it to. Bit like ‘UK news’ aka, Reform soapbox.
They’re not British waters in the middle of the Channel this is factually incorrect. Once again the French are aiding and abetting illegal immigration into Britain. Just try sailing a dinghy of 100 people in the other direction, you’d soon be boarded by French cops with semi automatic weapons and then returned immediately to Britain. This can’t go on, it can’t be long before the people decide to take matters into their own hands. Why are the government allowing this? Just ridiculous.
Thats the question we all need to be asking. why is the uk gov aiding the criminal activity of shipping these young able bodied men into our country.
If the people take things into their own hands it plays straight into the governments hands, they then can then start closing the country down, giving the Fabian’s more control and the compulsory use of digital I.D.’s, curfew’s, military backing up police on the streets, martial law (until sharia takes over). They will get what they want eventually, they’ve been slowly working on it for 140+ years.
But how do you know?..
Has anyone tried to go to France and claim asylum from the tyranny of the government?
I see loads of people in the comments seem to think its the end of the world to live in the UK now.
And the government’s out to get them.
Well, let’s test your idea.
Off you pop!
I promise you the majority will support your actions.
Heck, information the local plod your doing it and see if the police try and stop you?
Hitler started like this he demonished groups of people. The media and the propaganda esculated this nasty message.
Turning off AIS! subterfuge by the rnli. TAXI on its way, free money and life follows shortly.
I’m totally fed up with political parties and idiots blaming one another for the situation. It’s a problem for us ALL so why doesn’t the Government get together a cross party committee and hammer out a solution. Is that too simple a suggestion for our politicians?
Problem is when we left the EU we had no control over the movement of people. How many of the people on here voted on here for Brexit.. Or the other scenrio to lazy to vote as they did not understand the implications. You sow what you reap.
“You sow what you reap.”
Or put another way too stupid to understand “wot u jus rote”
Most of them. We did say at the time….
Here we go now the I.O.W will be the new place they are heading.
This is a joke they should be towed back to France where they were safe anyway and the French are being paid to stop this.
Of course they won’t they don’t want them in France.
When is this going to get stopped.
Farage it seems is the only one who will deal with this crisis
Nige couldn’t undo a packet of crisps.
I always get Jimmy Saville vibes whenever I see Farage on the news.
Mmm; funny how we didn’t have this problem when we were in the EU and asylum seekers had safe passage in order to claim asylum. I wonder what could have happened? Maybe your mate Nigel could shed some light on the reason?
Boring, boring, boring.
Unless some millionaires paying him to care or he’s trying to get mugs to give him power its not in his interest to try and fix this..
The only way Nige could do that is to rip up every international treaty we’ve ever signed. We would be a pariah state, and any other nation wanting to take us over could easily. We’d have no international back up, there’d be no trading with other countries and every single one of us would be sitting ducks for people like Putin. Or for that matter, the Taliban.
The ‘crisis’ we should have dealt with was Brexit. If that hadn’t happened because thickos thought it would suddenly make them rich and give them ‘sovereignty’ (which we actually already had) there would be no illegal entry now. People came before and no-one noticed or cared because the media didn’t report it daily. The unsettling aspect of Brexit created ripples in an otherwise calm pond of Europe, and gave people like Putin, Erdogan and Orban wriggle room to stir the water and create wars. That displaced people, created yet more tribalism and thus refugees across Europe and far beyond. If you don’t understand, that’s fine, but if you don’t understand don’t presume that Nige has a magic wand because he doesn’t. Your lack of understanding is being played for political gain, just as it was on the Brexit vote.
Send them back to France.
Another 100 soldiers of Allah destined to eventually take over this country.
What makes you think they are Muslims? Oh, every person in a boat is right?
Because the Crusades of 800-1000 years ago worked out so well for all concerned?
This is nothing to do with religion it’s to do with fear for their lives and homelessness and poverty.
The Franch are paid to help them get across to OUR land. Enough is enough, send them back or there will be consequences in the UK
Too be honest they were no where near the Island.
It makes me chuckle how so many numpties get
their knickers in a twist.
Nothing wrong with a bit of culture coming to the island.
The only culture you know is yoghurt
RNLI should take them back to France
Nothing one of those drones couldn’t sort out 2 foot from the French beach, meaning they’re all safe & no illegal murdering rapists hit our shores that have all left a safe European country.
Brexit supporters, How’s it working out for you ? PMSL
Numpties never knew what they were voting for
THEY DO NOW!
An influx of inflatables.
Lol
Baring in mind they wound have made their way here and landed if nobody had followed them at all.
Better they were escorted at least and found. Can’t see there being an end to these attempts now unfortunately:(
doesanyone think that these humans have left their homes and families paid a lot of money unless things are so bad for them that they will risk their lives for the chance of a better life. Shame on You have some compassion!!
Shame on you for being so wantonly naive. Explain your ‘logic’ to all those who have been raped, robbed and worse. Three rapes a day reported in Ceuta and take a look at what’s really happening in cities like Dublin. I don’t believe Egypt is at war at the moment.
All these empty schools over here, just waiting to be filled with them. We are open prison here anyway.
Theyre here, wake up.
‘They’ are not. Go back to sleep.
They shouldnt be landing at all.. the French “escort” vessel should pick them up and “escort” them back to France
Do you not bother reading any of the intelligent, fact based replies? Ok, find out for yourself. Ask google why they can’t.
So again, we pay the French to escort a dingy across into UK waters! Quick handover, welcome to benefit street! Countries a f#ing joke!
No, we pay the French for the extra police they need to stop them at the main migrant crossing points of Calais etc. France has a lot of available coastline.
It was soooo much simpler when they all came in lorries through the few ports and could be intercepted…..but you voted for Brexit, didn’t you? You voted to lose the agreement which meant we could send them back to any European country transited through. You also voted to end our membership of Eurodac so we now have no access to the European intelligence on their criminal records.
AND we now have to pay Europe to stop them. Or places like Rwanda to take them. (Don’t get me started on our money on that being used to fund illegal wars and, ironically, people trafficking), Wasn’t it all so much easier when we simply paid our usual subs for European-wide protections and collaboration?
Who’s the f#ing joker now?
They still come over on lorries but you’re right. Those responsible for enacting Brexit have a lot to answer for. But then, this is all part of the plan.
