Tony Smith, former General Manager of the Border Forces Border Forces, said to Mail: ‘Throw more money – when the record is too weak – not a good investment. Despite the money we give them, there is a lot of evidence that it doesn’t really work. Over time, we spent a net loss of £ 800 million.
‘If more money is to be given to the French, there must be a system of performance, so if there is a decrease in numbers, they will take a percentage of the money we will spend on asylum support.’
Mr. Smith added: ‘In my opinion, there is much more to do the French. They need to increase their games significantly.
“ Drone and satellite surveillance given, given, I do not understand why they can not find the boots before starting. Until now, the French have not been ready to wet their feet, so if the interventions in the sea continue, this may make a difference.

‘Nevertheless, the government wants to access our fishing waters for 11 years. They can’t have both. Starmer should be much more difficult and Macron should tell him that he cannot have fish if he doesn’t stop the boats.
“ Currently efforts are the kind. We see that the French Navy accompanies them every day. It’s just an insult. ‘
Boris Johnson accused Mr. Macron for ‘arming’ as a revenge for Brexit for Brexit.
