Despite the UK having paid the French almost half a billion Sterling Pounds to keep the migrant boats from departing Callais and other beaches to cross the channel into Britain, so far, the numbers of the illegal invasion just kept rising.

Is it any surprise we’re seeing record numbers of illegal immigrants when Starmer’s virtue-signalling Labour Party have removed nearly all the deterrents?

But today (4), French police have punctured Channel migrants’ boats at sea for the first time, in a considerable change of tactics backed by the British.
The Telegraph reported:
“Officers entered the sea on a beach near Boulogne-Sur-Mer on Friday armed with knives to puncture the dinghies in water that was shallow enough for the migrants to wade back to shore.
Dozens of migrants, including some women and children, had to give up their attempt to reach the UK as the boat started to deflate and sink. It is understood the knife puncturing is part of initial trials by the French to establish which tactics are most effective in stopping migrants leaving.”
In the new strategy, police and gendarmes will start ‘intervening’ in shallow waters – within 300 meters of the shore – to stop the illegals in boats leaving for Britain.
“The new strategy is expected to be unveiled at next week’s Anglo-French summit when Emmanuel Macron comes to the UK for a three-day state visit.
It comes as a record 20,422 migrants have reached the UK so far this year, up nearly 50 per cent on last year and the highest number in the first six months of any year since the Channel crossings started in 2018. Some 5,170 arrived in June alone.”
The Prime Minister’s office welcomed the new, tougher French tactics.
“A No 10 spokesman said: ‘No government has been able to get this level of co-operation with the French. That is important. We are looking to see France change its maritime tactics, and that is down to the Prime Minister’s efforts to reset our relationships across Europe’.”
Watch: French Police slashing the boats as they are about to take off.
