Tuesday, August 4th saw the French Coast Guard rescue at 170 ‘small boat’ illegal migrants whose unseaworthy vessel caught fire in the English Channel.
The rescue took place near to the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer, according to the local authorities. It was a response to a clear pattern: larger boats, starting from further away from their target of England’s Kent coastline, crammed with evermore lawbreaking foreigners.https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news-corner/britain-june-15-largest-channel-migrant-daily-total-2026/
The near-tragedy unfolded within hours of Reform UK announcing ‘Operation Fortress,’ an ambitious policy plan to have the Royal Navy lead a pushback against the increasingly large ‘small boats.’
UPDATE: French prosecutors are now investigating, with the possible ‘mega-dinghy‘ pilot—an Egyptian national—in police custody.
