Can we stop sending them the money yet? Or do we need a few more years of humiliation
SDLRob on
so you’re saying that the far right are going to a different country to target people they *think* are involved in migrant boat crossings?
Yeah… Arrest them.

Trying to cross the channel can easily be fatal and is endangering their own and everyone else’s lives.
People who stop the boats are literally saving lives.
Does the person who stops a suicide attempt also get arrested in France?

I wish they’d come and take down all the Remembrance Day flags from the lamp posts near me. We are into January now and they look ridiculous. Then they go back to France.

Rage baiting while taking the warning out of context, I would imagine.
But yea, easy win for the torygraph I suppose, considering how lazy and piss poor the french authorities have been at dealing with the problem.

Starmer should end the asylum system and replace it with bespoke deals for war-torn regions like Ukraine and Gaza.
If they know there is no chance of them getting residency then they won’t try and come. It’s the biggest pull factor.

This is obviously going to turn into a diplomatic/political incident at some point.
English lads will keep going – someone (or several) will get nicked – and the media will run with the story of Starmer/Labour not standing up and defending English patriots ‘keeping England safe’ against the French and it will fall perfectly into Reform’s hands.
They need to get a grip of this now.

Headline is disingenuous and designed for ragebait
The issue France is complaining about is people from the UK going to Calais to locate people getting in small boats and assaulting them to stop them crossing

This is due to Operation Overloard (I think is what it’s been dubbed?) isn’t it?

There’s an irony. Can arrest the vigilantes. But not the people making the crossing 😂. Some up the French

How about they use those resources to stop the migrent crossings, and then the people actually stopping it will also so stop… magic

I had no opinion about them going to France last month, but I think this is the best possible reaction that could have been hoped for as it’s escalates it up the agenda and I think all sides would find this French politician suggestion alarming, and it may spur official action into stopping the boats.

Send the French citizens working in London back until their government starts taking our border seriously.
