Migration scandal as French police watch asylum seekers board boats to UK
Express Newspapers ^ | Sat, May 31, 2025 | Richard Ashmore

Feckless French authorities were seen standing by and doing nothing today as illegal migrants carried toddlers onto dangerously overloaded small boats ready to cross the Channel for Britain. In infuriating scenes the French police officers were seen with their hands on their hips and with their mobile phones out filming the moment the youngsters were crammed onto the deathtrap vessels.

French authorities are failing to stop almost two-thirds of would-be Channel-crossing migrants, despite Britain paying our European neighbour almost £500,000 every day to do so. These astounding images were taken on the beaches of northern France this morning (Saturday May 31) in Gravelines, between Calais and Dunkirk. Many of the very young children can be seen bursting into tears as their families try to squeeze them on board the inflatable craft about to set sail for England.

The lack of action from the French authorities comes as the UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM) Missing Migrants Project found a record 14 children died crossing the Channel last year. And 2025 is on course to set a record for Channel crossings, with more than 13,000 people having arrived so far, up 30% on the number recorded at this point last year.

Despite the close proximity to the small boats, the French police officers seem reluctant to take any action despite the risk of danger to the children entering the boats.

There have not been any arrivals of migrants crossing the Channel in small boats for a week, but today six flimsy boats left France for UK shores.

Poor little babies. Apparently nobody cares about them, not even their parents.

These French “police” are simply applying to be United Nation’s “Peacekeepers” in Gaza, Lebanon, etc.

The islamofascistnazi Hezbollah set up rockets and rocket launchers RIGHT NEXT to the UN “Peacekeeping” offices in Lebanon. No Problem! You are killing Jews? Have at it.

Most recently, The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) had assisted the Hamas islamofascistnazis in Gaza.

So.....these French “police” would fit right in the UN.

No kidding. After all, who is “cramming” them into the unsafe boats?

French are treating the English just like PSG treated Inter Milan.

The French are to blame, but so are the Brits for letting them land.

They both have leftist governments. The only thing this indicates to me is the benefits in the UK for Muslims are better than those in France.

Britain needs to put a buffer zone, one-mile strip along the entire French shoreline!
