This placed the Navy in an awkward position as the boats were heading not away from, but towards France .
Another surprise finding was that they were loaded with British Citizens who were all seniors of pension age.
Their claim was that they were trying to get to France so as to be able to return to Britain as illegal immigrants and therefore be entitled to far more benefits than they were receiving as legitimate British pensioners.
The Navy, it is believed, gave them food, water and fuel and assisted them on their journey South
The next boat is being booked now, so get your name down if you want to join it.

I accept all forms of currency, post dated cheques, credit cards, debit cards, pay-pal, and as an added bonus lifetime membership to the Conservative Party.
ReplyDeleteAs I expect to be inundated with applications it might be some time before your booking is confirmed ( hopefully from my new villa in Bermuda which your booking fees will finance).
I thought there must have been a hidden agenda here somewhere Roger.
