Illegal Immigration
It had been reported that the British Navy intercepted three boatloads of people off the Northern coast of France. This placed the Royal Navy in an awkward position as the boats were heading not away from, but towards France.
Another surprise finding was that they were loaded with senior British Citizens who were all of pensionable age. Their claim was that they were trying to get to France so as to be able to return to Britain as illegal immigrants and therefore be entitled to far more benefits than they were receiving as legitimate British pensioners.
The Royal Navy, it is believed, gave them food, water and fuel and assisted them on their journey southward.
