What the fk we paying france money to stop this for

[ndavis]

Remind me what are we paying France for.

[buskingkarma]

Stop the benefits in Britain, and see how quick they want to come then!

[markennyee]

This is why the UK need to turn them back no hesitation shame on the UK politicians

[terryelks-opjk]

If the French police can't intervene, why are we paying them millions??😮

[phrsmith]

British soldiers landed on French Beaches to save them from invasion and this is how the French help us to fight off an invasion

[stefanhatcher]

How about we start protecting our borders

[caractacus]

Why do we pay the French £450 million?

[arthurwilliams]

Britain is spending billions on Ukraine but can't put an end to this simple problem.

[MrWolverine]

Why aren't these smugglers getting arrested and giving 30 years in prison.

[TheCrimsonAvenger]

Farcical.
If the rubber boats were loaded with French Brandy, our beaches would be lined with customs and excise men waiting to intercept.

'Getting to Britain will make your life better?' Not for the locals

[bob-pxj]

"UNDER FRENCH LAW--CAN'T INTERVENE" pretty much sums up the insanity of it

[keithwilliams]

Greece are dealing with this problem the right way.

[kevarminar]

Proof France is complicit in people smuggling across the channel. No arrests. No attempts to stop the boat.

[trueinsider]

The most stupid thing is when native people of a country is being replaced and even obliged to pay for invaders from other failed countries.

[Pantone]

This is sad. Europe has a cockaroach problem and each country is hoping they go to other European countries while "pretending" to stop them...

[MikeRoecock]

Sky were conveniently there for the one in a hundred boats that had women and babies.
One of the women even went in the water. It looked about 30 feet from the coast.
It's an invasion of 95% economic migrant men.

[Martynjs]

"Under French law can not intervene." - well what are we paying them for then?!

[francislozano]

How about the Navy starts patrolling to stop illegal crossings instead of relying on people from another country who don’t give a f*ck.
