Bbc breakfast fans fume 'it's beyond a joke' as they slam report

BBC BREAKFAST VIEWERS WERE LEFT FURIOUS AS THE LATEST REPORT ON MIGRANT CROSSINGS WAS SHARED DANNI KING and SASHA MORRIS 11:53, 02 Jun 2025Updated 11:53, 02 Jun 2025 BBC Breakfast viewers

expressed their anger as the show discussed the surge in migrant crossings over the weekend. Over 1,100 migrants made their way to UK shores on Saturday, the highest number for a single day

in 2025. Reporter Simon Jones, reporting from Dover, commented: "I think it was largely down to the weather, because we saw a week when it was really windy, so no crossings at all, and

that's when people are gathering over in Calais waiting for the weather to change. On Saturday, it was really calm out there in the channel, that's why we saw so many people make a

crossing. In total, almost 1200 people arrived in 18 different boats. It takes the total so far this year to around 14,800 people, and given that crossings tend to increase in the summer

months, we are well on course to beat the numbers from last year, when 37,000 people arrived in small boats." READ MORE: Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd issues six-word statement

detailed: "On Saturday, boat after boat launched from northern France, and we saw what are known as taxi boats, so the boats were already in the water. Article continues below "And

then individuals wade into the sea to board the vessel, and the reason smugglers employ this tactic is that French police won't intervene if the boat is already in the water. "On

Saturday, we witnessed police officers on the beach seemingly doing nothing; the French government claims it will change the rules to permit police intervention in shallow waters, but this

has yet to be implemented." Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has suggested that a recently agreed deal with the EU, allowing EU vessels to fish in UK waters for another 12 years,

should be put on hold until the French start intercepting boats at sea, reports the Express. This latest development sparked outrage among viewers, who took to social media to express their

frustration. One commenter said: "Paying millions of pounds to France to deter these migrants, only to see them taking videos to post on their social media is beyond a joke! But there

again, so is this weak, pathetic government." Article continues below Another user added: "This government (just like the last one) has failed to tackle the problem." A third

commenter fumed: "Useless Government. Starmergeddon." A fourth concurred: "The French are laughing their heads off. 'Our capital is burning, but at least we sent another

thousand over to England.'" _BBC BREAKFAST AIRS ON WEEKDAYS AT 6AM ON BBC ONE_
