Naaah, weve already capitulated, this is all for show on tv at the moment.

Perhaps a French scrote untied his mooring lines.

No it's a CaRT workboat that missed the turn at Braunston.

Maybe it was once full of passengers? I don't think they always take the boat back...

Do you catch Mussels with rod and line or has he got more than his fair share of VHF radio equipment (including aerials)?

This is the type of boat used in Brittany for mussels. Very shallow draft, not the sort of boat you would take to sea away from the coast.

I wonder what happened to the 50+ illegals it was probably carrying when it left?

It was a long-term Rejoiner operation to tow the UK nearer to the mainland that went slightly wrong.

No. There was only one boat involved, not thousands.

48% of boats would be pulling us back. whilst 52% of the boats would be taking us further away.
