BBC is on the French beach while the police cut the migrants a “political boat” heading to the United Kingdom

Amid chaotic scenes, French wandered in shallow waters off the southern Polonie Beach and used knives to reduce a small inflatable boat, packed with men, women and children, who were seriously increasing in the waves.

The intervention was very unusual. The French police usually follow strict rules that prevent them from going to the sea if they are at risk.

It is possible to see this rare incident as evidence that the French police, at increasing pressure to stop the increase in the crossings of migrants to the United Kingdom, change their tactics.

The “taxi boat”, with almost no passengers, came towards the beach, which was seen by the French Coast Guard boat on the channel. Initially, people were introduced forward into organized groups, holding in hands, and one man brought him out to lead the events. But as the inflatable boat moved and reversed towards the beach, there was screaming as dozens of people rushed to climb on the water that was at least in the depth of the waist.

Initially, Gendarmes refused to intervene and stop watching from the beach. One of the officers repeated a familiar explanation now to the BBC Andrew Harding-that they were prevented from going to water except to save people. But with the situation increasingly appearing, the officers were clearly felt at the scene that a line was crossed, that those on board are now in danger, and that there is a short opportunity to disable the boat in relative safety.

Moments later, the boat was dragged on the beach by the police, where the migrants began collecting the things they brought down on the beach, then went inside, and the highest sandy paths through the sand dunes towards the nearest village and riding busy to the migrant camps to the north.
