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 Starmer’s small boats plan, senior figures condemned a lack of officers, training and equipment.
And one admitted police do not “really want to go into the water to stop people”. In a stark assessment, Marc Musiol, a UN1TE representative for border police at Calais, Dunkirk, and Coquelles, declared “there’s nothing on the horizon to suggest that we’re going to change the way we work”.
He said: “As of today, the personnel of the general service unit here at Coquelles have not received any new intervention doctrines.
“Police, in their interventions and modus operandi on the beaches … are still intervening in the same way and there’s nothing on the horizon to suggest that we’re going to change the way we work.”
In June, the French cabinet agreed to allow officers to intercept migrant boats within 300 metres of the coast.
The tactic is considered crucial to preventing people smugglers launching so-called "taxi-boats", where migrants wade out into the water and wait for a dinghy.
This leads to chaotic scenes as asylum seekers try to haul themselves onto already dangerously overcrowded boats.
Jean-Christophe Couvy, general secretary of UN1TE, added: “As a union member, I’m going to tell my colleagues not to go into the water.”
Mr Couvy said officers were yet to receive any instructions about intercepting small boats at sea.
He added: “We can’t ask officers to risk their lives without protection.
“I don’t want a police officer to drown because we ask him to go into the water and stop migrants.
“I don’t think officers really want to go into the water to stop people.

One word: Vickers!
I’ll see your vickers and raise you Ma deuce
I’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.
What the hell is the Royal Navy doing these days, anyway?
Ken Starmer wants to stop immigration just like Mayorkas did - not at all. It’s all posturing.
What navy?
Why should a Frenchman get wet for a Brit?
What the hell is the Royal Navy doing these days
Churchill is spinning at 15000rpm.

As we all know, the Royal Navy is but a shadow of its former self. But they do have eight modern coastal patrol boats. They’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 Starmer’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.
I see your ma deuce and raise you an A-10. 😊👍
I hear Calais has a nice harbor…..
Sink a couple of these boats with patrol ship gunfire atseveral different points and times amd maybe the boats ill stop.
Sink them. Easy.
I’ll fold. 😄
