We salute the British! French thank UK for Channel migrant rescue efforts

The Daily Express says BRITAIN has been thanked by French citizens for their efforts in rescuing migrants from the channel, with the Sea Minister “saluting” the UK.

Annick Girardin, the French Sea Minister, put out a message of thanks on Twitter, writing: “A new tragedy has hit the Channel. I salute the British patrol boat, the SNSM patrol boat, the three helicopters, one of which is Belgian and one British, which are working to assist the five people still missing.” On Wednesday evening, Downing Street announced that Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron had agreed to step up joint efforts to prevent the crossings and stop the gangs of people smugglers putting people’s lives at risk.
