Spare your hatred for the white liberal 'elites' who buy the boats - they're the killers and they're the ones destabilizing western cultures. Did I mention that George Soros and his fellow billionaires ARE the people buying the boats?

Maybe UK is using the same technology Trump used to stop the Venezuelan drug boats. /s

What if they need to use the bathroom?That's no problem.
A touch of home...to remind them what they are leaving behind.

They probably set the fire themselves, just to be “rescued”.

The various maritime laws and conventions applicable assume a median line between the two coasts, with prime responsibility for responding to the incident determined accordingly.
To: RandFan
I have been conditioned to immediately think this has been staged to evoke sympathy, or distract attention. Even if not the case, it will be used as such.

"What if they need to use the bathroom?"I wonder if Soros paid for the "section of sidewalk" upgrade on these boats.
