They also didn't assist them into the waters, therefore they did not 'escort' them anywhere. They acted more as neutral observers than anything else.

If you're going to be angry about something at least know what you're being angry about.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

absolute rubbish. Neutral observers in French waters instead of doing something to stop them is escorting the out of French waters. Playful word tricks do not wash

Were they there ? yes
Were they making sure they were safe ? yes
is that escorting ? YES

Not doing one thing does not automatically equate to doing something else. this is not Newton's third law.

Not everything is black and white, there's a whole myriad in terms of shades of grey.

They escorted them out of French waters and then left them in one of the videos.

You cannot see the wood for the trees, see I can say something cute too

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

So, the French police or border patrols walked next to them whilst the boat launched ? Or, they were in the sea with them as the boat left.

Can you provide the link to that video please?

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

already have

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Could you post it again please? I've not been able to check up much on here recently. so if you have the link to the video that shows it i would appreciate it, thank you.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

I will not post it again you have mentioned my video posts so surely you must have viewed them all ?? if not then how could you possibly had a reply? I will await your reply to this and if the answer is good enough I have another video ready to post that I have not already posted

I will just throw this little taster video of French Police watching a boat leave and doing nothing. There was also a helicopter he mentioned. So yes the French are letting them cross and they are actively escorting them into British waters. You can argue the toss over the word escort but it is happening without any doubt at all

No, I've seen you post that you've posted videos in the last page or so i think?
and I'm many pages back in the discussion, which is why i asked courteously if you could post the link. that's all.

The question that i would ask is that if the French police have allowed migrants to leave unchallenged vs how many have been prevented from leaving either at beaches or from in other parts ot the country?

In my opinion I don't believe that all of the French police or coastguard are stood there shouting 'Au revoir et bonne chance, voici un pain au chocolat' as they help them clamber onboard their boats.

A little perspective is called for, that's all

easier to be blinkered than to see the truth going on around them

Ah good afternoon my old friend/sparring partner, trust you're well?

I'm merely pointing out that inaction in one area doesn't equate to action in another.

I'm none of those things, I'm a pragmatist & i believe that in the modern world in which we live and hopefully thrive it will be tact & diplomacy that see us progress, not anti <insert country here> rhetoric.

Each to their own however, be a boring old world if we were all held the same views.

Nice to hear from you sweetie xx

Re: Britain outside the EU
