The British government has reportedly hired a fleet of private boats to help the Border Force bring illegal Channel migrants ashore at a cost to the taxpayer at least £36 million.

According to a report from The Times of London, the UK Home Office — the government body responsible for controlling immigration and protecting the country’s borders — has signed a contract worth £36 million for the hiring of a “charter of vessel(s) to support small boats operations in the Dover Straits”.

The contract, which is set to come into force in April and will last until at least the end of March next year, will mean that private vessels will assist the Border Force in picking up migrants in the English Channel and bringing them ashore in Britain.

If they sent the small boats to Dunkirk to pick up the Germans and bring them to Britain, it would be like Dunkirk...

The lesson for me is that what is happening on the US Southern border is not specific to the USA.

The politicians (including “conservative” politicians) of EVERY Western country is doing this.

Sink the boats and they will stop coming over.

All the ‘little ship’ owners from the evacuation of Dunkirk are rolling in their graves.

You think the same people who voted for Brexit voted for this?!

Use yer noggin.

They’re getting this BECAUSE they voted for Brexit.

The US is not the only country now controlled by its Deep State.
