Priti Patel issues orders to turn them boats around

[life on mars]

Sounds like the measures to joint measures to deal with this broke down with France on Wednesday .

I wonder if France has any interest in stopping this .

I am baffled why so many migrants travel through so many wonderful Europe countries to get to us, many say we treat folk dreadfully ??

The mayor of Calais summed it up for me when interviewed a month or so ago ( "if you didn't make it so inviting they would not cross" ) so it begs the question how are they treated on mainland Europe and France , what don't they get in France that forces them to our shores , are they treated that badly , are they victimised ??

What the French do is intercept the boats in the channel and then escort them further across, leaving them in British waters for us to deal with. All they are interested in is getting rid.

the French have already stated that they will try to prevent boats from launching, and stop the criminal gangs, but will not stop boats that have already launched as that could be dangerous and lead to loss of life.
if they are floundering and request help them they will if course save them.

that seems to be a sensible approach to take, surely nobody wants anyone to needlessly die because of this?
