Why don't the French authorities have multiples more border patrol bods on the beaches? If the gang leaders then started bringing the boats into the shore area from deeper water (knowing the border bods weren't allowed to wade into the water) why not have a good few more patrol boats constantly patrolling the area to render the boats unusable before migrants can wade out to them?
We're giving France hundreds of million of pounds for feck sake.
tbh, I increasingly don't believe the bullsh1t we get fed about these things, trying to keep us in our lane. The 'these things are very complex to resolve' sort of bullsh1t. Meanwhile, days turn into weeks turn into months turn into years with little actual PROGRESS!
They're tinkering around the edges with all of this, why I don't know. Hence why I no longer laugh at folk that assert much of this is by design.
