53 Migrants Intercepted

[fender62]

i guess they do not care about having or catching covid19.. i wonder do any actually get sent back to france, because you never hear of it, or it's not reported.

We’re they two metres apart from one another. Are they being tested for the virus? Hmmm I thought not.

Careful fender - the hand-wringing bleeding-hearts will be after you!

[douglas9401]

Still 'migrants' eh?
Still smiles all round at the meeting point.

[fender62]

Deskdiary, lol they can feed and house them, and why not give them there debit cards, or a blank cheque to fill in whatever they feel is fair.

[naomi24]

They are supposed to be sent back to their own countries. Whether it happens or not is debateable.

Personally I think they should have been taken back to France straightaway.

[Ken4155]

No unnecessary travel, remember, Naomi :-)

[naomi24]

Even more reason to tow them back to France, Ken.

[sanmac]

Why is the word "intercepted" used? That word implies that something or someone was prevented in reaching their destination or objective. Why not just say that they were safely escorted ashore?

[naomi24]

Yes, they may as well say that, sanmac.

Cheeky beggars probably rang up H.M. Coastguard and told them where to collect them once they crossed the separation zone on the Channel.

[douglas9401]

No-one heard of 'ramming speed'?

[Mozz71]

Why would France take them back? They're shot of them now. Two Happy Birthdays worth of hand washing has probably been done by the French authorities.

Back to whence they came originally with them.

[sanmac]

Retrocop, the fiendish felons are also probably knowledgeable about "way points".

[retrocop]

No doubt sanmac. Someone must of done a Day Skippers Course I reckon.

[MynameisLuca]

Surprised there wasn't many more. Seems the virus is rife in migrant camps.

[Spicerack]

Yet another excellent reason, luca.

[sanmac]

And now its rife outside migrant camps courtesy of H.M. Coast Guard.
