French officials have openly admitted they have “no solution” to stop the flow of small boats crossing the Channel, dealing a fresh political blow to Keir Starmer after Britain agreed a new £662 million border enforcement package with Paris.
The comments came despite Downing Street unveiling plans for expanded joint patrols, increased surveillance and the deployment of at least 50 riot-trained French officers to beaches used by migrant gangs operating along the northern French coastline.
Local politicians in the Pas-de-Calais region dismissed the measures as cosmetic and warned the crossings would continue regardless of British funding.
Alain Boonefaes, a deputy mayor responsible for security in Gravelines, said the agreement merely shifted the problem elsewhere rather than solving it.
“The money of the British will be used to secure a sector, but we only move the pile of sand,” he told La Voix du Nord.
“It starts from everywhere. It is a subject that must be dealt with at the global level. We have no solution. There will always be an influx of people who want to join the UK.”
The intervention will deepen concern inside Westminster over whether Britain’s latest financial commitment to France can meaningfully reduce crossings, which have continued at record levels despite repeated bilateral agreements.

“There will always be an influx of people who want to join the UK.”
True up to the point where the UK is no different from the shitholes they left in Africa.
They think people believe this crap
The Liberal government of UK acts like they are helpless.
Then winks.
Just quit giving them free crap and they won’t come.
It’s an outright baldfaced lie that the French have no solution. Arrest the captains, seize the ships, capture the invaders and deport them to the farthest corners of the planet. Charge anyone who aids and abets them as an enemy, incarcerate them for decades before also deporting them to the furthest corners of the world.
So, the French are going to give back the money the UK paid them, correct?
globalist puppets installed to support the rot
The French certainly have the means to stop the boat invasion.
They do not have the will.
Ditto for the British government.
Sink the boats.
Gather the survivors.
Incarcerate them until they can...
Ship them home.
Repeat until the they get the message:
Fix your own damned country.

And the Tories were just as bad. I’ve read elsewhere that Reform wants to end the illegal immigration, but has no plans for removing the millions of illegals already there.
If that’s true, then Reform is just delaying UK’s collapse, not reversing it.
Starmer is paying France billions of pounds? Euros? to do something they admit they cannot do. If they can’t do it, they probably aren’t even trying so where is the money going?
The French have enough of them. They know perfidious Albion is governed by Labor\Socialist(Fabians) who hate their country, contemptuous of the common people, hate their culture and history and know a new layer of needy voters will keep them in power. Sure why not send them!
It will only stop until someone in the UK has the guts to publicly sink the boats and let them drown.

If. The most powerful word in the English language. With If, anything is possible.
The French have nothing resembling a Coast Guard?
There are solutions. But they just don’t want to deploy them.
