Loose Women panellist Jane Moore has dismissed claims by a pro-migrant organisation that French police acted “illegally” by puncturing an inflatable dinghy on a Calais beach. French authorities are currently under investigation following the incident, which saw officers disable a migrant vessel.
The controversy stems from an incident last month near Calais where video footage emerged showing a French police officer cutting into a rubber boat filled with migrants. This action caused the dinghy to deflate, forcing its passengers back onto the shore at Oye-Plage.
Pro-Migrant Group Alleges Illegal Activity
A pro-migrant organisation, Utopia 56, has lodged formal complaints against the French authorities regarding the incident. They claim the police action was illegal and endangered lives, submitting their concerns to France’s Defender of Rights, the country’s human rights ombudsman.
Utopia 56 also filed a separate complaint with the National Gendarmerie Inspectorate. The group stated on social media that one of their activists recorded the footage, showing police lacing a boat already in the water with people on board.
Moore Calls Claims “Utter Nonsense”
“Utter nonsense!”
— Jane Moore, Loose Women Panellist
Jane Moore, speaking on the matter, robustly rejected the suggestions that French police should not have disabled the vessel. Her strong reaction highlights the growing frustration with what many see as attempts to undermine border security efforts.

What This Means for Britain
This incident underscores the complex and often dangerous realities of illegal migration attempts across the Channel. For working families in Britain, every failed crossing that is not deterred represents a continued strain on public services and a direct challenge to the integrity of our borders.
The economic impact of unchecked illegal immigration is significant, contributing to increased costs for housing, healthcare, and social welfare, ultimately affecting the cost of living for every British citizen. These are resources that should be prioritised for our own citizens.
Politically, this highlights the ongoing struggle to control our borders post-Brexit. The constant legal challenges and accusations from pro-migrant groups often hinder effective enforcement, creating a perception of weakness and encouraging further attempts.
If this pattern of enabling illegal crossings continues, Britain faces an escalating crisis, undermining national sovereignty and public trust. It is imperative that our leaders stand firm and support actions that secure our borders NOW.
Share if you believe Britain deserves secure borders and an end to this dangerous charade. Demand answers from your MP on how they will support robust action against illegal crossings. This must be seen by every British voter.

What a load of BS, the water was shallow enough for them to get on the boat, so shallow enough to get off. Presumably the French police weren’t wearing stilts?
