UK suggestions that the French are not exerting themselves enough belies a more complex situation

Behind Boris Johnson’s suggestions, in the wake of the Channel drownings, thatwas not doing enough to stop small boat crossings, lies a more complex picture. There is a growing sense among charities and the French political class that policing, security and repression alone cannot solve the issue of refugees risking their life to reach the UK to claim asylum.

'Outpourings of regret at migrant deaths not enough - UK & France must solve it'The Voice of the Mirror says the authorities ignored repeated warnings before Wednesday's migrant crossing tragedy - and it's time the UK and France worked together effectively Their decision to be daft.🤮 Good grief VoM.. The UK Govt has been pleading with Macron to stop the illegal crossings across the worlds busiest shipping lane. The UK Govt paid Macrons ransom of £54m & little was done. Even Barnier admitted immigration was out of control. This is on Macron not the UK Govt. All it needs is for French to puncture the inflatable boats whilst at the shore. No boats no crossing.

UK has paid 'duplicitous' France £160m since 2015 to stop migrant boatsBRITAIN has forked out a whopping £160million to France to tackle the migrant crisis, a Brexiteer has warned. GetBritainOut Ask for a refund.... GetBritainOut Gosh. £23 million a year to police around 500 kilometres of coast 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Why do we need the French anyway? We’ve taken back control. We could have much better used that money giving PPE contracts to deserving Conservative party donors. GetBritainOut Better idea stop paying the French and actually use it to build a better border force.
