This is jaw-droppingFrench Gendarmes admit today they have orders not to stop migrants – only talk to them – even though we pay over £1/2 billionThis was moments after they stood by while a hundred migrants walked across the beach and got onto a boat and embarked for the UK pic.twitter.com/g2JZfzGWe5— Chris Philp MP (@CPhilpOfficial) July 29, 2026
Chris Philp’s boots-on-the-ground exposé of the small boats farce took another shocking, if unsurprising, turn today. Fresh from having a French warship fire live rounds near him in the Channel, the Shadow Home Secretary watched as gendarmes south of Boulogne-sur-Mer did absolutely nothing to stop dozens of illegal migrants hurling themselves into dinghies destined for Dover.
Despite British taxpayers coughing up half a billion pounds for the French to intervene, candid officers on the beach made an astonishing confession to Philp:
Our order is to let them go. We just have to say to them “don’t do that it’s dangerous”.
