All well & good but did you read the small print? All have some kind of slow leak, a motor that will only get you half way over the channel(that's all that's required because "The border farce" shuttle service will pick you up), oh & an assortment of gimmies & sandies approx 196,116 that's 12 to a boat.

Any Life vests with those boats...I do hope not...some of these want to drown rather than return to France...not easy if you wear a bright orange float.

Don't engines whine when there is something wrong?

life vests are an optional extra unless weights are placed in them.

What a good idea (or should I not be that heartless?)
M good twin tells me that these are all someone's children, while the evil twin says'they make great fishfood'...

No don't, it could cause contamination of the fish stocks and put more U.K. fishermen on the dole than the E.U. ever did!

Look who's coming for a visit if he can get enough air in his French inflatable:-

Margaret Pilkington · 19-08-2020, 16:28

A would be illegal immigrant, a 16 yr old Sudanese boy washed up on the beach close to Sangatte camp in Calais.
Priti Patel has commented that it is a 'tragic loss'. it is something that happens when people try to circumvent the lawful process of immigration.....this boy did not get out of French waters so it really is none of our concern.
He should not have entered the water.....if he had not done, then he would be safe tonight.
France is a safe country...no persecution,no one trying to shoot him.

Now, my question is, did he drown or was he drowned?

Margaret Pilkington · 19-08-2020, 21:20

Well it is reported that he set off in a 'makeshift boat ' with a spade as a paddle...and he did not get very far.
He was a non swimmer(obviously).
