British Citizens Head to France and Slash Illegal Migrants’ Rubber Boats To Prevent Them From Crossing the Channel – So French Police Move To Arrest THEM, Not the Illegals (VIDEOS)

Tensions surrounding illegal crossings of the English Channel continue to escalate as pressure grows on both the UK and French governments to curb the flow of small boats departing from northern France.
Over recent years, the United Kingdom has committed billions of pounds to France under a series of agreements aimed at strengthening border enforcement and preventing dangerous Channel crossings. Despite these measures, crossings have continued, drawing sharp criticism from UK officials and sections of the British public who argue that the policies have failed to deliver results.
Concerns about the social and economic impact of illegal migration remain a major political issue in the UK. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has held repeated talks with French President Emmanuel Macron in an effort to improve cooperation, but critics say the situation on the ground has changed little.

Frustration has increasingly spilled over into direct action. In recent months, some British activists have traveled to French beaches, attempting to disrupt departures by damaging inflatable boats before they are launched. Videos circulating online appear to show individuals interfering with vessels intended for Channel crossings.
French authorities have responded by warning that such actions are illegal. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez has stated that any foreign nationals who interfere with migration operations could face arrest on charges including obstruction and aggravated violence.

According to reports cited by the Daily Mail, Nuñez has ordered law enforcement to identify and detain individuals involved in what officials describe as vigilante-style actions, including members of the activist group Raise the Colours.
A source close to the interior ministry told La Voix du Nord that police have been instructed to prevent further incidents and to take measures against anyone attempting to sabotage boats or disrupt security operations along the coast.
As crossings continue and political pressure mounts on both sides of the Channel, the issue remains a flashpoint in UK-France relations, with no immediate resolution in sight.
