Undeterred, unfazed, uninterrupted: French police watch migrants illegally cross Channel | ITV News
British-funded French police have been filmed watching as migrants board small boats to illegally cross the English Channel, an ITV News investigation can reveal.
Our team were near Dunkirk at a well-known launching point for the small boats, when a group of more than 50 migrants were able to cross the beach and get onto a dinghy directly in front of French officers, apparently unimpeded.
This occurred despite a £500m investment from the UK government as part of a three-year agreement with the France, which is supposed to help them stop these crossings.

The UK needs to aggressively defend its borders.
Giving france money .lol..france doesn't want to deal, either! Don't blame them!
@@ShakesSpherethen who to blame and it is being allowed
Politicians are actively working to destabilise countries. This is all by design
Send in the Jocks and Tunnocks delicious Marshmallow Chocolate Tea Cakes. 🤣🤣
@Sthmohtwenty that's a good question, because when you start digging through the layers looking for the origins of troubles and issues, it's an onion. Which century do we stop or start at.. why are there even reasons to risk your life..who is to blame?
Stop feed the. The charity are part of the problem
The charities are a terrible problem they started all of this.
In _what_ way exactly?
Most are UK Charity's That want them HERE ?
Stop giving what I call the red carpet treatment. Meaning everything they won't want to f****** come. It's common bloody sense. Would you want a come to our country? If you thought you were gonna live on f****** bread and water and be whipped every f****** day. No, but if you thought you were gonna get everything for free. You'd wanna go It's common b****** sense🇬🇧.
the charity is the problem
Shame on you itv for finding the only woman and children and not showing us the true reality of who's coming
European governments have betrayed us - Europeans. They brought to our countries THOSE who hate US and kill US every day. THIS IS WAR! The government will not help, it is on the side of the occupiers! Protect yourself! and REMEMBER - THIS IS WAR! And you are a REOKNKIST warrior! ONLY RECONQUEST!
99% of these hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants coming over to England on boats are miltary aged men but Channel 4 manage to catch and film that very rare couple of kids and with mud on their faces too and a fainting mother, what a rarity, well done to channel 4.
those kids should pull a thousand heart strings..same people that reported the fake unalived babies washed up that got all the uks traitors sobbing
Yes it is a potential security threat. A hostile nation could gradually transfer soldiers/terrorists into the land they wish to attack.
@@squarehead6c1 . A 'potential' security threat? Don't you really know what is behind this movement of thousands and thousands of young men from a certain ideology? Haven't you read the comments from their religious preachers? Don't you know what their 'holy' book commands its followers to practice?
@user-wp6z9ly8t. You are so right! And knowing that there are millions of people trying to come across to the UK's shores is terrifying. Just from North Africa alone there are millions who will try to cross over to England. The British Isles are going to sink below the waves. 😪
Its not channel 4 its itv.
They will treat the British as they do with their own brothers.With knives.
It's planned - wef/govt aligned.
Has ITV shown the migrants fighting on a beach in france
No and definatly not the riots in West London
@@wayneabel5421 I don’t watch TV as it’s so left wing, but it’s inconceivable that ITV don’t show these hate marches. Does the BBC and the other channels show what is really going on?
@greenandpleasant5523 the BBC is literally like nothing to see here gb news is almost as bad
@@greenandpleasant5523 Left Wing, yeah and your to Right Wing Tory Boy.
French police having to fall back as the altercation was deemed to violent, migrants being stabbed by the gangs organising the crossing, they won't show that
£500,000,000 paid to the French to stop the boats leaving French shores. Did no-one think to also add a clause stating, that any migrant boat that leaves French shores, the boat can be turned back to France, or the migrants on the boat can be returned to France.
thw clause was not added because our government wants them here
@@TonyToning-ne7uq agree i think this is a cheap way to get migrant labour into the uk and businesses to profit from it. The people in Govt must be allowing it.
@@jungleboy1 Has anyone ever seen these people work or not take out more money than they put in? If the Gov thinks they will work or pay in then they are dreaming.
UK is ripped off !
That money should have gone to the Royal Navy to physically prevent the illegal crossings.
So if this reporter can obtain the phone app to the people smugglers why can't the police ?
they can but there is no profit in for the police or goverment if you look back to encrochat it was all about drugs and money of course the police could crack the app but no profit out off people smuggling for the police
They don't want to.
Because they don't want to full stop
They most likely set the app up for them
@@silvertongue3003😂
I am really sick to the back teeth of this. This government is absolutely spineless. STOP PICKING THEM UP! Let them sink, it's not our responsibility! If you keep leaving food out for any wild animal it will come back for more - the minute you stop giving food is when it will go away! Same applies here.
Where is the stop the boats campaign here..!!! its more like let them in and paying the french to do it at the same time TOTAL FARCE GOV:
agree
They decided to do it illegally and there is a shortage of 700 000 homes in the UK, schools and hospitals are under the strain. Yeah, make people cry with this clip.
That's why the government are paying landlords to kick their English tenants on to the street to make way for the illegal immigrants. If a lanlord houses an illegal immigrant all the house hold bills, council tax, even any damage is paid for, as well as the rent, for seven years. The government will pay for everything if they house these illegals.
Yes the emotional blackmail is repulsive.
They managed to film the only family 🙄
I wonder how long that took? It must have been annoying with all those other boats full of only young men of fighting age getting in the way of their pity piece.
@@british1970s Why do you care Ivan? Oh yes, you just earned a ruble
@@ajc5479 I care when the mainstream media paint a false impression of the kind of people that are coming into my home. Just look at the crime statistics. Just look at the violent mobs running wild in our cities. Just look at the hate these people have for Britain and our values. So when the mainstream media falsely portray the immigrants in a way that the gullible think that they are all lovely people and should be allowed in to our country - ours not theirs, it causes huge problems for the UK. And it has been the same all across Europe. I'm very suprised that you don't seem to be aware. This is all over the internet. Also if they are genuine asylum seekers, why did they not stop at the first country? They are all criminals. They are even called ILLEGAL immigrants. It's in the title. Not to mention the mortal risk that they put their children for financial gain is absolutley disgusting. And thanks to people like you, these despicable criminals are in MY country sponging off me and all the other tax payers. That is why I care.
Bollocks.
99% of them are "brothers" of Islam. Different kind of "family".
Appalling this cannot go on.... we will be a third world country within a few years Get tough!!
The government want them here, so why would they "get tough". They get tough on we who complain about it, instread.
Complain too loudly and be arrested under the new extremists law !
@@daryllportas8453 I keep reading this comment elsewhere … I don’t get it! Why do the Government want them here?
We already are a third world country. Just look around.
@@MysticMeg59 I ask myself that all the time... l have been saying for a number of year's something sinister is going on.
This is outrageous. When the UK boat intercepted the migrants, they should have destroyed their boat and then taken the migrants back to the French beach and unloaded them there. Also, the footage of the French officers who stood by and allowed the migrants to get on the boat, as well as the ones who let the (obvious) smuggler go after he launched the boat, should be presented to the French government with demands that the officers be fired and have it announced the same will happen to all others found to be assisting the migrants in violation of the UK-funded agreement.
they were still in french waters, but we bring them back because we are weak country spineless GOV:
We Owe Them NOTHING!!!
. . . Until they enter the country and are entitled to EVERYTHING 😂
Putting their children's lives at risk and for what? Absolutely shameful
They think they are going to make lots of money here. They usually don't, then their children grow up hating us because of it.
£10.68 an hour minimum wage. I'm in
For a life!
So if a reporter can find out all this information within a few hours why can't the government? I seem to remember Sunak standing on a podium in January very seriously saying from now anyone entering illegally will be 'detained' and will not be granted asylum. How's that working out then? Beyond shameful
Lol yeh it’s like when the biggest intelligence agency with the biggest budget couldn’t find bin laden but CNN had no problem finding him for an interview months before the three buildings collapsed 😂😂😂😂😂 ITV reporting truth for once
It's the woke left fighting for them so they can have asylum here.
What a weak country
@142sg but uk let it happen and allow it happen right ?
Do you talk about France? Yes France is a weak country

Hey. I worked with an afghan who was a teenager, flown out with troops in a bad minute, that kid was one of the sweetest, most humble people, i have ever been graced to know. Plz stop pidgeon holing!

It's france, Brits have to do as told. It ain't your country geezer!
UK is a small country we have no room.....
Convert your sitting room mate and help one of them out. Go on, don't be an old sour puss! Help the next Salman Abedi settle in!
Plenty of room mate. BTW, can u spare a room to house them?
Uk Border Force need to turn the boats around and take them back to where they sailed from. This in itself will become a deterrent. But then we need to assist France to close its boarders to stop migrants entering France.
The french dont want them either
Border force should not be picking people up the RNAA should not be picking people up
Britain, you need to get tuffer. Ive heard their are thousands not deported who have been denyed citizenship. Why?
Tuffer LMAO Why do you care Ivan? Oh yes, you just earned a ruble
not tuffer its tougher
By design for our demise.
We have never fought for our countries. We have been stupid enough, to allow our politicians to help them into our countries.
If we had taken them back to France this would have stopped months ago.
Makes me furious watching this. Its a disgrace, being able to come into uk like this. As a law abiding citizen in uk, im furious!
Then keep on voting for Sunak you mug!
Why are border force bringing them to the UK!!? If you turned up at immigration at Dover on a ferry without the necessary paperwork you would be turned back. Why should that be any different if you arrive by rubber dinghy? 🤬🤬🤬
with the new biometric checks and all the brexit confusion, it's simply quicker this way.
How grasping and selfish are the low-level parents to put their children through this when they are already in a safe country bordered by several others.
100% this.
Ahhh but the benefits are rubbish and no free house in France🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
SEND THEM BACK.
To were when they have no identification
@@Sthmohtwenty The jungle, the desert. Who really cares?
@@SthmohtwentyFRANCE!
Do it yourself....your government needs them more than you.
Bloody hell 🤬
The bloody hell is coming to your cities.
They want to work? Where? How? They do not even understand how it works. They cannot afford to live here, there is nowhere for them to live. This is NOT the solution..
One of the migrants saying he needs to work so he can send money back home to his family, yeah right 😂
Literally this is the next day after Rishi Sunak says that he’s stopping it
Never mind, it's only costing over nine million pounds a day for taxpayer's.
15 million per day
Yes and there’s still kids working at home because their schools are unsafe. Imagine how useful all that money would be to solve all the problems in this country - homeless, roads, GPS etc.
Recently A boatfull of Migrants ( Rohingayas ) arrived in a large boat , on Indonesian Beach, The Authorities gave them,food packets and asked them to-go away ?? 😮 (BBC news).
The French are laughing all the way to the bank,they are making us a laughing stock 😢
The French and British authorities know exactly what is going on across the channel and who is orchestrating the whole procedure
So much for forigen aid to stop all this.
You really believe that old chestnut 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hate our soft nature towards the peolle that take advantage of our soft stance and good nature.
How long do you reckon we have had this "soft nature"?
Thing is, the United Kingdom does not start in France. The British border is not on French soil, it is in the UK.
The UK has to turn the boats back or the scroungers will keep coming
And Robbers murdered and terrorist ...etc ...only god knows...what else
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Sthmohtwenty Yes Elsie. 🤣🤣
We are full
Wouldn't happen in Australia.
Yes it will....they are flying them into the country instead, as "legal immigrants".
Unbelievable the obvious trafficker who pushed them off is just let go. Instead of France picking them up due to danger our free ferry service does. They are saying they are coming to work for criminal gangs and steal to send money home. How much more damming can a video be
Exactly what I thought! These Vietnamese that are coming over , working for the Triad gangs who are probably here already , as though we need another type of gang in the UK. Why should we protect them , its the gimmegrants fault that they've borrowed from people like them not ours , send them back straight away.
FFS . HOW CAN THIS BE ALLOWED IN THE 21 CENTURY .
This is an obvious national security issue. Why are we allowing this? Surely, we have every right to stop the boats entering uk territory? This is a National Emergency. Im sick of people implying people are racist for having concerns about what's going on.
Stop being racist! Do u want to be responsible for that man's poor, poor wife's organs being harvested? Do you want blood on your hands? I didn't think so. You should be down on the beaches of the south, with a thermos of tea and biscuits ready to hand them out to weary, poor travellers.
Don't be racist please. How can you just disregard that man's poor wife's organs being harvested if he doesn't reach the UK to work for that gang. Have a heart mate. Do you want to have her blood on your hands? You should be down of the beaches on the south coast with a thermos of tea and some biscuits for those poor, weary travellers.
It's very hard to feel sorry for these people wot a bloody joke
Shocking
Little is known or reported about these smuggling gangs . I wonder why ?
The RNLI need to put their big boy pants on and refuse to collect them.
British government is smugling them into UK, using the RNLI.
Stop the boats. Sunak is having a laugh.
His plan is working, must be true cause he said so!
Nobody ever believed Sunak anyway.
Wouldn't believe Sunak if he told me his name was Sunak.
It's not. It Rishi!
No jobs where their from no jobs here
Why always the UK? We all know why, everything is free, except for us British people. France migrant camps are just the first stepping stone to our shores, France has no intention or obligation to stop them, they've taken the money and are only paying lip service, why would they want to keep them after all. If they had no intention of letting them escape they'd be 100s of miles away from the shore line, not within walking distance. I'm so fkg angry! 😡😡😡
How do you like dem frogs legs? Bitter much!😂
Would be nice if we had great white sharks in the English Channel it’s becoming a joke now every day we are hearing about this in the news
All these criminal gangs we welcome every day, it's utterly disgusting.
It's a joke the English border
The people of all of Britian are awaking, and that includes the Irish. Your time has come..my friend.😊
Ireland is not British. 🇮🇪
@jonsweeney3845 I never said it was.
Irish. . . Awake? 😂 Go back to sleep Paddy
Imagine if all the heroes who died on that beach could see this now!
What else would anyone expect? Real world common sense should be behind any ‘agreements’. OF COURSE France would often allow this…if the situation was reversed we would do the same…and often do.
Speak of stirring up the hornet's nest with UK's unnecessary involvements in the middle east, north africa, afghanistan, eastern europe. The countries are in ruins with millions of people on the move.
The French as just as guilty. But the French don't give them hotel rooms.
Maybe this reporter should work for the government he’s doing a better job than government. It seems our border force are part of the problem.
The RNLI are complicit in people smuggling!!
Given the scale of this problem/ catastrophe it's obvious the French police & authorities are complicit. And includes all the equipment providers (boats, life vests & mobile phones). At the same time it's difficult to grasp the reckless double standards approach being taken by the political & legal elite on this For example, if I gave money to a criminal gang for services, the result - put on a charge & put in prison. In the case of migrants, the result - put on a boat & put in a hotel Utter madness!
Stop funding france and stop picking up boats in the chanel if someone puts there kids on a boat and come arest them for attempted murder as they put the kids at risk.
And these people will enter our community whilst the authorities try and work out who they are. This is madness and an obvious national security issue.
Referendum should be made, we all know what the British public would vote for wake up people before it really is too late !!!!
We had one mate. It was in 2016, remember. Think we voted to leave the UK, remember? Something about taking control of our borders, remember? We all thought it would stop coloured people from entering the UK, remember? Instead it just stopped our European brethren from coming, remember? And the Poles, Bulgarian, Germans, Italians and French left the UK, remember? So now we are in the s**t! Remember how we arrived here mate!
Vote Reform vote Reform vote Reform!!!!! Contact your local MP i did
Voting will not solve the problem....."roll out the red carpet" will.
So how can people with no identification arrive on English soil. Well for a start the French government should be fined £100 000 per person every boat that lands is another £100 000. Fine the charities that are making the problem with fines of £100 000 each illegal.£100 000 for any lawyer or solicitor who are encouraging criminals to invade our country , if they came with no identification it is unlawful and then trying to use the British legal system to get in by the back door We the British people need to hold any person who it complicite in any way with regards to the attempts of the illegals to enter Britain illegally. Any person found guilty an automatic £100 000 fine unless you are a billionaire getting help from the British government. One day we will roar and watch out europe
Did you hear this morning, that the five people who died (One was a child) yesterday off the coast of France, didn't die of drowning, but CRUSH INJURIES, caused by a group of up to 50 people who rushed down the beach to get onboard the purpose built 11 metre dinghy, people who hadn't paid, but were desperate to come over to England. At one stage, the dinghy was stranded on a sand bank and got going again. Even though 5 people had already died, the French Navy escorted the dinghy to around 12 miles off of the coast of France, to be met by the British Border Force and RNLI boat crews. When the illegal immigrants arrived in England, some were seen waving their fists in the air, showing their joy. Kent Police need to investigate what happened, as potential Manslaughter charges need to be brought against some of these people!
The French could easily stop this . It's mainly fighting fit men crossing illegally. Stop the NGOs from aiding human traffickers. Stop Care4Calais.
Do you all not realize that these people are not getting to your borders and your shores without help. There is a group moving them to those destinations and they are doing so with purpose. And any country taking them in is suffering due to what will soon become a lack of resources, not just money, but food, shelter and safety. And then your country will most likely need to reach out to another for help... and they won't be able to assist you because they will be in the same condition. The only country not suffering will be the true pusher of this agenda. And only then will all of the "nice, helpful" countries realize they were taking on the cast offs from those countries and starving their own for them. And they will care not for you or your people and will bleed you dry.
Yaaaaaaayyy, another thing the government has done right, well done Rishi! Well done Brexit!
Stop bloody blaming brexit it's because the bloody traters in this country have had no intention of ever Doing whot we bloody voted for They have being betraying us all along there traters so bloody stop blaming brexit
They was flooding in before Brexit.
Nothing to do with Brexit.

Sick. But gotta say..i don't see any Vietnamese. Not from vietnam. Nope.
Why they saying that then..I c Oriental looking ppl ...but why they would lie....and all of a sudden its Vietnamese....
Should ask for a refund
These countries that are letting this happen shouldn't get any aid from any other countries
that should not be difficult to stop these organised smugler gangs.
Iran has room for all these people.
Subdue, arrest send home.
Like the Royal Navy doesn't need the target practise?
You know that is immoral. Towing boats back is moral.
Wow, how did this ever get into mainstream news, must have been a mistake, and as usual they only show the SOB story's
What a joke
this is disgusting
Must have been hard work to find a woman and child. Not a true representation
How is sunak not in prison?
Unless somethings done right now uk is completely finished Theyl keep coming and coming not from a war zone from france
The police are in on it
stop paying the french
The mind boggling question these journalists never ask: why not stop in France??? And they went through all of Europe before getting to France 🤯
Insane I thought UK had a great navy ,maybe that's just history now .
Our navy is becoming a soft touch joke now, to get a job in the navy you don't even need to know how to swim, like how does that make sense?
Mr Sunak, you need to pay France more money to stop the boats.
Soldiers been saying this for years now and that sunak promised 6 years ago to stop those boats what a disgrace he his
Is it a year ago since the French Start laughing at us in their language LOL. Saying the english government have just give me the money to get my extension. On my Chateau.😡🏴
It’s harrowing seeing little kids suffering and upset, I can understand when families move to have a better life, but don’t like it when thousands of young men come over alone who are fighting age, ther is a enemy sneaking in under the guise of immigrant who’s persecuted back home
Are the soldiers armed? Do they know how to use them. ?
Work there. Aye. Work at getting benefits.
