That clearly was probably an unintentional mistake.
And I think they will be definitely saying, well, if we do get boats coming much further west in future,
Where are we going to bring them ashore where we can have a much more contained situation than last night?
I mean, fortunately, last night in the end, what happened was that the police got a dispersal order and the crowd chose to abide by that dispersal order and dispersed.
But there could have been a very tricky situation where the police were having to force the crowd out of the way in order to get the coaches out because there was no other way of getting those coaches out other than down that road where the protesters were.
And
Yeah, so I think that tells you from that that they do...
view the fact that there was some violence of sorts towards their officers.
I mean, assault can be quite low-level violence.
And I think there's definitely a reference to that damaged vehicle that we've seen pictures of, the Home Office vehicle, maybe other vehicles as well.
that we're used to.
And people who go on holiday to France regularly know there's a decision.
to be made, particularly if you live in the southeast of England, do you take the short ferry route, Dover Calais, basically an hour by ferry, a little bit more once you're on and off, and then
It's a longer drive.
Or do you take the longer route, Portsmouth-Lavre, Portsmouth-Camp, Portsmouth-Sherbourg, and then it's a bit of a shorter drive if you're heading south to Brittany or further south.
It is a significantly longer journey.
By ferry, it is a factor of, you know, four or five longer.
And so therefore, clearly, if you're in an open, overcrowded, in this case, 100 and...
40 people or so, according to the French figures, in one of these sort of mega dinghies.
It is a much longer and therefore potentially much more dangerous journey.
