Another packed migrant mega-dinghy with more than 60 migrants has been spotted heading to Britain from Normandy, accompanied by a full French safety escort. The Mail <\/em>has more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An overcrowded mega-dinghy carrying more than 60 migrants has spent more than 30 hours in the Channel en route<\/em> to England after setting off from Normandy with a full escort.<\/p>\n

The oversized inflatable cast off from Port-en-Bessin, near Bayeux, at about 10am on Monday carrying an estimated 50 people.<\/p>\n

Ouest France<\/em><\/a>\u00a0reported that another 11 people boarded the boat at Cote Fleurie, 30 miles east along the coast, at 6pm yesterday before heading into the Channel.<\/p>\n

Under the authority of the French maritime prefecture, four lifeboats from the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer<\/em> \u2013\u00a0France<\/a>\u2018s answer to the RNLI \u2013 were dispatched to monitor the boats alongside the tugboat Abeille Libert\u00e9.<\/p>\n

More than 24 hours later, the boat has been sitting at the heart of the Channel with the French tug following behind \u2013 and a pair of RNLI lifeboats from Hastings and Eastbourne seemingly on their way to meet it. They were launched shortly after 11am.<\/p>\n

Daniel Thomas, the hard-Right anti-migrant activist who\u00a0calls himself \u2018Danny Tommo\u2019 online<\/a>, said on social media he was heading into the Channel to find the boat.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the French maritime prefecture told the Daily Mail<\/em> today: \u201cThis dinghy is monitored by assets coordinated by MRCC Gris-Nez within its search and rescue region, as part of its search and rescue mission and in response to the obligations of international law and the law of the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n

The RNLI \u2013\u00a0whose volunteers have faced abuse<\/a>\u00a0after rescuing migrants \u2013 confirmed to the Mail <\/em>its boats had been tasked at the request of HM Coastguard.<\/p>\n

And the UK\u2019s Maritime and Coastguard Agency said the migrants would be transferred to Border Security Command.<\/p>\n

French authorities provide full escorts to dinghies setting off from Normandy because the voyage to the UK is\u00a0far longer than it is from traditional launch beaches around Calais and Dunkirk \u2013 as much as 100 miles, four times that\u00a0from Dover to Calais.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for local rescue services said of the migrant dinghy: \u201cThe boat was in a very bad way, and very low in the water, with just a single small outboard motor to power it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sea was calm, and weather conditions were good, but the decision was taken to escort the boat, without intervening.\u201d<\/p>\n

UK authorities are understood to be monitoring the dinghy, and have plans to deal with arrivals further along the\u00a0coast.<\/p>\n

A Government spokesperson said: \u201cThe Border Security Command works around the clock to protect our border and will continue to detain, check and process every small boat arrival.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Maritime and Coastguard Agency spokesperson said this afternoon: \u201cHM Coastguard is responding to a report of a small boat in the Channel, south of the UK central south coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cRescue vessels have been sent, supported by an HM Coastguard aeroplane, to collect the people and safely transfer them to UK Border Force.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the French can escort the migrants to England, why don\u2019t they just escort them back to France?<\/p>\n
