So the UK has to pay for the French police and security now. AFAIK we paid for the fence and CCTV already round Calais port. I have also seen reports of French police just standing on the beach watching people get into small boats. I also read an article yesterday that said if the small boats are offered help but refuse then under the law there is nothing the French authorities can do to stop them leaving.
They just wait until they get to the middle of the channel and get the UK Border Force to pick them up.
I can't see this deal changing anything as the French don't want them any more than we do so why would they stop them from leaving France in the first place?

"Maritime law dictates that only vessels or passengers in distress receive assistance from the coastguard on patrol. And it seems that this boat has refused help. All the French authorities can do is trail behind until the dinghy arrives in British waters."
You would have thought though that a criminal offence being committed would superseed any maritime law. It seems to work ok for the Navy boarding drug smuggling boats and then sinking them.

Is it me, or have the Brexiteers on here gone very quiet lately?
Why are they not here telling us how wonderful the sunlit uplands are?
How fantastic it is now that we have taken back control of our borders?
How our fishing industry is now booming having taken back control of our fishing waters?
How our farmers are benefitting from the slashing of all that red tape?

Wish they could have put the UK in there so we can satisfy the medias thirst of proving how sh*t things are.

That's what Brexit was all about! All the racist anti-immigrant bull was just to get the sheep to vote for it! As you can see, immigrant numbers haven't fallen, there are just more brown immigrants now rather than EU immigrants!

Another BREXIT success story.

Christmas was a joy for me a very small business occasionally selling to the EU as 'Can't be arsed' was added to the rejection reasons used by customs. 'Can't be arsed' was previously reserved for customers.
I'm still bitter.

That one sat since November at Belgian customs then returned to me with no contact to the customer and no reason stated. As that's the case - and not the usual customer refusal due to Brexit tax - I can't charge for the postage so bigger loss.

A huge Brexit benefit... for the rest of the EU! So much for the EU collapsing in the wake of Brexit, rather the opposite is happening and the EU is more popular than ever!

I remember one film crew interviewed two old ladies in the street, who said that they voted yes as a stand against the government.
When pressed they didn’t understand what the vote meant.
They are probably in the top 10% of that list.
