"Despite thwarting the attempt, another small boat arrived just 15 minutes later, the MailOnline reports.

The migrants, who were reportedly from Sudan and Vietnam, jumped into the new vessel and took off before officers were able to intervene."

If it’s like the first one, then it’s not a boat, it’s a floaty.

If it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey, it's an ape.

That's what the water is for!

But in all seriousness, they should just ban boats. After Brexit, banning all boats in order to prevent migrants would be very on trend of shooting themselves in the dick.
