@Roy Bloom Hello Himmy, welcome back. I'm not going over old ground with you, via multiple replies.
- boat sets off in unsafe condition.
- French coastguard monitor and occasionally offer assistance, escorting them to the edge of French waters.
- Upon arrival safely in UK waters, they contact RNLI who arrive to taxi them back to the UK.
- They do this to avoid the skipper being identified.
- They do not want help from the French because they know that is a taxi back to France.
- they are happy to risk their lives while in French waters, but demand rescue once they have crossed.
Most people donate to the RNLI because they offer rescue of sea fearers who due to misfortune have run into difficulty. Until they got involved in migrant taxi services, the vast majority of people being rescued were people who did not knowingly set off in unsafe vessels, expecting a free ride. Donations have not kept up with inflation despite the media hype that they were several 1000% up as a result of the so called anti-RNLI campaign from the so called RW.
Nearest ship is usually always tasked with rescue, unless it's more practical to task a dedicated rescue. Every vessel able to help has a duty to help. French warships/coast guard are usually close, but their help will always be refused.
There is no magic Bermuda Triangle in the middle of the English Channel that causes boats to start sinking. The illegal migrants know they only have to get half way and they will get a free £multi-million Uber.
