Independent journalist Christian Drogan has made an undercover documentary on an illegal Channel crossing.
He's exposed how French police assist the process from start to finish - and we are paying for it!
Our own govt, and the French, are taking us for mugs.
Enough is enough!
Christian Drogan, an independent journalist with 'watchman' has managed to trick his way onto an invader boat and document the whole thing.
Tells how French police help the invasion from start to finish.
Looking forward to the full documentary.

🚨 SHOCK EXPOSÉ: British reporter sneaks onto migrant dinghy and catches French police GIVING FREE TAXI RIDES to people-smugglers back to their camps so they can keep flooding Britain!
Christian Drogan spent weeks undercover in the lawless Calais camps, posing as a fugitive British crook. He boarded a packed inflatable with dozens of others, filming every grim second of the seven-hour nightmare crossing.
French gendarmes pulled up mid-Channel, warned the boat the seas ahead were “very dangerous”, and offered anyone a lift back to shore. The ONLY ones who jumped at the chance? The four smugglers running the operation. Police cheerfully dropped them straight back on the beach to organise the next wave of illegal trips!
Unbelievable!
Drogan later said: “I rolled the dice with my life for this investigation, and its findings have only cemented my scepticism towards the establishment.”
TalkTV’s Isabel Oakeshott added: “There is a very good reason no reporter has ever attempted such a mission before: because it is both extraordinarily difficult, and extraordinarily dangerous.”
Border Force eventually picked them up in UK waters. One officer even told Drogan: “You’re on the wrong boat.”
This is the reality the authorities don’t want you seeing.
Great work!
🚨A British undercover reporter just invaded his own country on a migrant dinghy… and the French police HELPED the smugglers.
Christian Drogan spent weeks living in Calais camps posing as a fugitive British criminal.
Then he boarded a packed inflatable with dozens of illegal migrants, filmed the entire chaotic crossing, and watched French gendarmes offer the smugglers free taxi rides straight back to the beach so they could organise the next wave.

French authorities facilitating the trade.
British borders treated like a suggestion.
And a journalist had to risk his life to prove it.
When does “control” actually mean control?
Andy Burnham, in two weeks of being PM, has perfectly illustrated the main problem in UK public finances.
Week 1: there's a cost of living crisis, so to help you we've taken £45 a year off your electricity bill and capped bus fares at £2.
Week 2: we don't have enough money to fund everything we want to do, so we're taking £630 a year out of your salary.
Same government, same month.
Credit where it's due first - taking VAT off electricity from October is real money, so is the £2 bus cap in January if you're on a bus twice a day. Immediate cost of living relief is genuinely needed by most people.
But I'm not sure how someone who couldn't manage without that £45 a year of relief is supposed to now manage with £630 a year less in their pocket?
The £630 is a 1.8% levy on income to fund a National Care Service costed at £18bn a year. On a £35,000 salary it's £630, on £50,000 it's £900.
It's charged as a percentage of your income.
It's collected out of your income.
It is not, apparently, income tax, because they're going to call it a levy.
It also only applies to taxpayers over 34... So you turn 35 and take a pay cut, at the exact age most people are stretched on a mortgage with childcare costing more than the mortgage.
But the UKs ACTUALLY problem? Spending is too high. And it's too high in ways that are fixable if anyone was willing to challenge the status quo rather than buy more votes with handouts.
This is where £1,383bn goes this year:
Health, £269.6bn
Pensions, £236.3bn
Welfare, £204.0bn
Education, £126.7bn
Debt interest, £104.6bn
Defence, £75.2bn
Everything else, £367.1bn
Health, £269.6bn: We need mandatory health insurance as an employment benefit and a hybrid model. Everyone hears "insurance" and pictures America, someone bleeding out over a copay, as if no other model exists on earth.
The Netherlands has mandatory private health insurance. Insurers are legally required to accept everyone. They cannot charge you more for being chronically ill. A risk equalisation pool moves money towards the insurers covering the sickest people. It's consistently ranked top three in Europe.
Welfare, £204.0bn: Income tax raises £330bn. So almost 2 of every 3 pounds of Income Tax taken from every working person in this country is spoken for by the welfare bill.
Welfare should be for people who cannot work. Disability, genuine incapacity, the people it was built to protect. It has drifted into a general income top-up, and the number that proves it is 4.2 million working age people now claiming at least one health related benefit, up a million since 2019.
Change how we determine eligibility, fix a lot of spending issues immediately.
Pensions, £236.3bn: The state pension is a Ponzi scheme, and I mean that technically rather than as an insult. There is no fund - the ONS says so plainly. Your National Insurance is not being put aside and invested for your State Pension, It just pays the payouts for last year's pensioners. Yours depends entirely on there being enough workers behind you.
Which, btw, there won't be. The ratio of pensioners to workers goes from 27% to 48% by 2050 (and these estimates are before we've seen the proper impact of AI/automation on jobs.
Australia already fixed this: 12% of earnings into a private fund with your name on it, mandatory, employer paid. It's your money, it compounds, it doesn't need a bigger generation behind you to work.
We could mandate the same tomorrow and let the state pension run down over the next 40 years, eventually saving £236bn a year.
You can't levy your way out of these problems. A 1.8% charge on everyone over 34 raises £18bn. It doesn't even cover the interest on our existing debt.
And in the meantime... If we're going to borrow anyway, why is none of it buying anything?
Norway found oil in 1969 and put the money in a fund... That fund is now worth $2.049 trillion. It holds a stake in roughly 1.5% of every listed company on the planet.
We found oil in the same decade and spent it.
The UK's National Wealth Fund is capitalised at £27.8bn. Norway's is about 73 times bigger.
So where is our position in AI, in data centres, in grid scale renewables, in batteries, in electric vehicles, in any of the things the next fifty years actually runs on? We borrow £133bn a year and almost none of it buys an asset.
Fix government spending immediately, increase government income over time (without milking people for every penny of 'levy' you can find), and quality of life will genuinely improve as people have more money in their pockets.
The UK has a spending problem, not a tax problem.
@PolitlcsUK Fucking do 1, the councils around the country hiked their tax 5% for the sole purpose to invest in social care. So go and tax the councils. Whilst your at it fine the councils for their input to the wild fires. #cutthegrass
Newly released police bodycam footage from just after the murder of Henry Nowak.
Digwa: “But I’ve been racially attacked.”
The officer: “I know, mate, I know,” and adds: “I’m not saying you’ve done anything, mate.”
Digwa moans about being tired and police lights hurting his eyes.
He was never handcuffed, Nowak was as he died.
🚨BREAKING: The Green party-led Bristol City Council, which banned St George's flags flying during the World Cup as it was "divisive and makes migrants feel uncomfortable", has now been COVERED in St George's flags by locals
F*ck the Greens, this is England! 🏴
Young Bob, who literally sets up a stall to calmly debate anyone, is again attacked by a gang of invaders today.
Anyone celebrating or encouraging this is a coward.
Starmer's regime shutting down debate online, and the left shutting it down in public!
Police in the UK impaled a teenager by the throat on a fence. Initially the police cleared the police of any wrongdoing. But the people complained so they opened an investigation and yeah okay nothing came of that either.
