Iโ€™m sure that this has been arranged.

Starmer had to know his plan would fail. Why in the world would the French want to stop the boats? The safety concerns aside, would the French do with occupants?

Better to let the invaders continue, and leech off the British people and not the French people.

England used to have a navy to protect its sceptered isle. Not anymore apparently.

The Frenchies are probably happy to have them go.

Ken Starmer wants to stop immigration just like Mayorkas did - not at all. It’s all posturing.

Why should a Frenchman get wet for a Brit?

As we all know, the Royal Navy is but a shadow of its former self. But they do have eight modern coastal patrol boats. Theyโ€™d be ideal for the job, if there was only the will to use them.

“”French police are refusing to intercept migrant dinghies in the water and are yet to receive any new orders from Paris, it has emerged. In another huge blow to Sir Keir Starmerโ€™s small boats plan, senior figures condemned a lack of officers, training and equipment.””

And the irony is... reality is in direct opposition to what the entertainment media presents as such. For instance, the British mini-series Hostage had the French attempting to make a deal with the UK to put French solders on UK soil to enforce illegal immigration. How funny and absurdly opposite of their real stance. But typical of the gaslighting, opposite of the truth, stuff we’re being presented with.
