Franco-phonies keep those boats coming

SO THERE'S the truth of it: French authorities are waving off migrants floating in the English Channel and telling them: "The UK will see you in an hour."

In an extraordinary case, French officials reportedly stopped a rubber boat packed with some 100 people and, after removing just 24 of them to help keep it "afloat", told the rest to wait for the British coastguard and Border Force to escort them onwards to claim asylum.

You can just imagine the glee of the 76 occupants given free passage to our shores. Not to mention the smug smiles of those sending them on their way – au revoir and bonne chance, because you're off our hands now.
