French police slash migrant boat and drag passengers back to shore

French police began cutting rubber boats with migrants who are trying to cross the English Channel and get to Britain.

Footage has appeared as they rushed into the water behind the departing boat and pulled it ashore, the Daily Mail reports.

In London, law enforcement officers on the French side of the Channel have been regularly criticized for not even entering the water and standing idly by while overcrowded inflatable boats leave the coast.

Pictures of French border guards standing calmly on the beach and taking pictures of another boat heading out to sea have appeared in the media.

Critics say 500 million pounds of British taxpayers’ money was handed to France to fight illegal migration.

The French intercept a record low number of migrants – less than 40% of all those trying to cross the Channel.

In the wake of this criticism, a video emerged of French police actively dragging a boat to shore after piercing it.

Earlier it was reported that terror with syringes swept France. 145 people were pricked with needles at the French music festival. An investigation was launched; 12 suspects were detained.
