A slashed hull is a start. A removal after landing is the finish. Britain skips the finish.
Watch: Police Intercepting Smuggler Boat Bound For Britain Attacked by Migrants
Three dozen men carried a dinghy to the Channel and threw rocks at French police. Britain used to pay Paris to watch.
Summary
- Breitbart reports UK Border Security Command released aerial video of about 36 migrants carrying an inflatable to the Channel and attacking French officers who moved to stop the launch.
- Migrants scuffled and threw what appeared to be rocks. Officers used PAVA spray, reinforcements arrived in a 4x4, and a policeman slashed the boat so it could not float.
- The clip is being used to show France acting after a £600 million British payment, following earlier Tory footage of French police standing idle during a launch.
- Conservatives note the 12-month intercept rate is still about one third, so most who try the crossing still land and almost none are later removed.
Commentary
A dockworker in Dover still tastes salt and diesel and watches another dinghy become a hotel invoice. He does not throw rocks at police. He throws a time card into a slot.
That is the gap. Honest men wait behind a passport window. The beach crew waits for a slack officer and a cheap hull. A knife in the rubber is the first adult act in the tape.
Ask every taxpayer who funded the £600 million: if one third is a 'success,' what do you call the two thirds who still sleep in Kent?
Comments
Does slashing one dinghy matter if two thirds still land in Britain?

Rocks at cops are not asylum. They are a riot with a life vest.

If almost none who land are removed, the gamble stays rational. Change the payoff.

A country that pays another country £600 million to police a beach should demand a catch rate, not a clip.

NGOs that sue the knife in the rubber are the other crew. Name the funders.

I do not get to throw gravel at the foreman and still collect the room. Neither should a beach launch.

One third intercepted is a brochure. Two thirds landed is the school intake.

Traffickers price the risk. A sure hotel on the far shore is the product.

Breitbart printed 36 men, PAVA, the slash, and the one-third catch. Keep the tape.

Cut the boats. Remove the landings. Stop paying for theater.
