Two tier justice, place your bets

interesting tracks of the French escort and RNLI lifeboats who collected the illegal from International waters and escorted them into UK territory. I suspect its the RNLI who should be answering questions.

Highly likely they would not have attempted the crossing without the Taxi

Errr tripe - fun fact British territorial waters extend for 12.5 miles from shore and the migrant boat was inside that limit.

Any more facts you want to make up biker.

oh dear someone can't use a divider, do you think I didn't measure the track first? Even someone as stup1d as you can see that the location of the rendezvous is greater than the width of the IoW from north to south which is... 13 miles. It's also approximately halfway between the north and south main shipping lanes (see all the little arrows), making it just over 20nm.
An entire 40+ boat flotilla managed to fool Pugwash. Don’t put too much faith in our maritime Cleuseau.
how embarrassing to be wrong again.

I await an apology.

mbk doesn't do facts...

Expect the topic to now be clogged up by him digging that hole of his ever deeper ;)

Oh, and should the 'master mariner' (master bates?) ever find himself in need of rescue, he'll have no doubt deleted the RNLI from his saviour menu...

That's a big (y)

Feel free to measure it.,.. and then apologise

here you go : As the UK territorial waters extended furthest out from our shore due to the IOW bulge that means under maritime law we are responsible for the following boundary, this is called the contiguous zone, which extends in the channel between 12 and 24 miles... as the rescue was at 22.7 miles from the IOW its in our zone. The issue you have is that this zone is directly related to the territorial bulge see map or pop over to the maritime agency for the definitive map of which rescue service to call by lat/long in the channel.

Perhaps you should understand the law rather than what you make up in your head the UK's boundaries.

Ps no apology required for an education.

Our EEZ, is not our territorial waters. Its our exclusive economic zone.

So not UK territorial waters as claimed. (y)

You could just admit you didn't know

fun fact British territorial waters extend for 12.5 miles from shore and the migrant boat was inside that limit.
as the rescue was at 22.7 miles from the IOW its in our zone.

What law or seafarers practice prevents rescuing people in difficulty in international waters?
task the nearest vessel - Originally it was Guernsey coastguard coordinating. There was no reason to facilitate their illegal entry. Now more will try.

Its our contigous zone not our EEZ.... again try and get something right, the EEZ covers fish, mineral extraction eg oil and gas
