Wrong

Pushbacks are not legal if a boat is in distress.

The action of a pushback will put an overloaded inflatable in distress

A vessel in distress in French waters you say? The solution is simple.

The U.K. can keep migrant boats out of its waters

It can't.
Otherwise it would have been doing so.

and it can take them back to france if they are in distress.

It can, but in reality it wouldn't.

 

[Notch7]

Doesn’t apply to vessels in distress. SOLAS applies. Nice try.

Not true

22 Asylum seekers who are rescued at sea are not entitled to disembark at the nearest port or at the port of their destination. Indeed, the IMO Rescue Guidelines, SOLAS, and the SAR Convention treat disembarkation in general as an obligation of conduct rather than of result. What is contemplated is that States—eg nearby port States, the flag State of the vessel that rescued asylum seekers, the State from which asylum seekers departed, and the State primarily responsible for the search and rescue region in which the rescue occurred—will coordinate and cooperate, perhaps in association with the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees

WRONG

British vessels need permission to enter French waters if their is not “innocent passage”

You say it’s not true and post text that says otherwise

It isn't that simple. It depends on a whole catalogue of issues.

Nonsense their passage is innocent, the act of rescuing people in distress doesn’t change that.

Have you run out of ideas yet?

So you can’t read now

You feel the need to say something, but you have nothing to say, Dick

It means they have no right to choose.

It’s none of their business where they are dropped off.
