ER Editor: This was an intercepted or overheard call by a British fisherman. The date is not given. A google search for ‘British Border Force vessels English Channel‘ shows that the Border Force vessels have been outsourced since earlier this year (via The Telegraph), backed up by a Daily Mail article from January:
Border Force cutters have been entirely withdrawn from patrolling the English Channel on the lookout for migrants on small boats. The search and rescue operation has instead been taken over by a fleet of private vessels normally used for servicing wind farms at a cost of £36 million a year to the taxpayer.13 Feb 2024

‘I have a French warship to the west which is escorting a boat of migrants!’ English ship captain’s damning radio messages accuse French Navy of ‘illegal human trafficking’ to Dover
SUE REID for MAIL ONLINE
The captain of an English cargo ship has accused the French navy of ‘illegally trafficking immigrant boats’ across the Channel to Dover.
In damning radio messages, the angry senior officer complained to the French coastguard when his vessel, Scot Pioneer, was stopped from entering Dunkirk harbour as navy vessels, including a warship, guided the traffickers’ boats around his ship.
In response, the coastguard informed him that there was an ‘arrangement’ between the London and Paris governments for the French navy to escort migrant boats towards Britain.
The captain begins his protest by radioing the French coastguard with the words: ‘I would like to report what is an illegal operation in your waters.
‘This morning we witnessed a French government vessel and a French navy warship escort a boat-load of illegal immigrants across the Channel to the midway point where they handed them over to another [Border Force] ship out of Dover. It has now arrived there.
‘Now I have the French warship passing under my stern, passing another boat-load of immigrants across the Channel. There is also another [French] vessel to the west of us which is escorting a third boat of migrants.
‘This is not search and rescue – this is illegal trafficking of humans.’
A fisherman in British waters, who picked up the open-channel recordings, told the Mail: ‘This captain witnessed first-hand the French navy escorting dinghies to waiting British Border Force vessels.’
