'very weak asylum policy'

[Ten people have died this year alone
making the perilous trip from northern France,
and Saturday saw a daily record of 1,194 people
reaching the south coast of England.
The French stopped just 184 migrants out
of 1,378 leaving their shores,
most of them on flimsy inflatables organised
by people smugglers.
This brought the total for 2025 up to 14,811 – the
highest ever recorded in the first five months
of a year, and up 42% on this time last year.

Ms Caroit said it was 'unfair' to attack
French police for standing by as migrants
headed for Britain.

She said: 'Once the boats are in the water,
it is impossible for the French policemen
to actually intercept them.']
