WHICH SIDE ARE THE FRENCH ON? GET A GRIP BURNHAM. £662m For This! #JonGauntTV #ChannelCrisis #BorderControl #UKPolitics #FrenchNavy #Andy Burnham Today on Jon Gaunt TV, we're breaking down the shocking escalation in the English Channel. From a French battleship firing live rounds to warn off a BBC news crew, to astonishing drone footage showing the French Navy escorting an inflatable boat packed with 80 people directly into UK waters—the situation has reached a breaking point. The UK taxpayer has handed over £662 million to France to stop these crossings, yet the footage suggests they are doing the exact opposite. Why are we paying for an escort service? Meanwhile, figures like Andy Burnham are doing their best Pontius Pilate impression—washing their hands of any responsibility and hiding behind the Home Secretary. With the weather set to change, we are looking at a potential tragedy that could have been avoided if our borders were actually protected. In this stream, we discuss: The French Navy's "escort" tactics caught on camera. The £662 Million Scandal: What exactly is the UK paying for? The Accountability Vacuum: Why are those in power deferring responsibility while the crisis worsens? The Imminent Danger: Why a major tragedy in the Channel is now a matter of "when," not "if." This nonsense cannot continue. It's time for some hard truths. Burnham must demand that the French stop this piss take! Join the conversation in the live chat at 6 tonight and let us know your thoughts. #JonGauntTV #ChannelCrisis #BorderControl #UKPolitics #FrenchNavy #LiveNews on Gaunt TV, English Channel, French Navy, illegal immigration, small boats, £662 million, BBC News, Andy Burnham, border control, UK politics, Channel crossing, French warship, taxpayer money, accountability, Manchest…
