Hundreds of illegal immigrants have crossed the English Channel today after weather conditions improved overnight.

Over 250 migrants have arrived on British shores today on four boats, with another inbound.

They are the first crossings for five days, after windy weather prevented people smugglers from launching their boats.

Border force vessels and a lifeboat scrambled to reach the dinghy before it was able to land on Shakespeare beach close to Dover harbour.

“until it was just a couple of miles from the Kent coast.”

Plenty of time to sink it. This is an invasion force. Treat it like one. Sink the boat, deport the lucky ones, gibbet the ‘Captain’

I can understand why France wants to get rid of them, but allowing the invasion of a neighboring nation doesn’t seem all that neighborly. But maybe sending them on is easier than sending them back.

A sane Britian would have its military use these boats in the water for target practice.

Is it time for the SAS to destroy these boats on the French shore?

Sue the ‘elties’ who are buying the boats - sue them for all the crimes and damage the ‘illegals’ have done. THAT’S WHEN THIS INSANITY WILL STOP - WHEN THE ‘ELITES’ START TO LOSE THEIR MONEY,.
