TalkTV host Kevin O’Sullivan was left enraged as he shared exclusive footage of unlawful migrants aggressively confronting a photographer on the coast of France. On Monday (May 25), the 70-year-old broadcaster returned to the airwaves to talk about the most important tales hitting the headlines. It did not take long for issues to flip political as he welcomed political commentator Isabel Oakeshott onto the show to talk about the new footage taken at Wissant, in Northern France, over the bank vacation weekend.
The presenter immediately launched into a fierce rant on air, calling out the disappointing response from the French police officers at the scene, who did little to deter the migrants from arguing with a photographer. He fumed: “Now it’s perfectly lawful for that photographer to take photos of those guys.

“But I suppose we are able to perceive that they’ve no comprehension of the law, so they’re telling him not to take footage. But what is disturbing about this, though, is these migrants’ great sense of entitlement.
“They’re saying, ‘Get out of our way, we’re about to get on a boat. We’re going to Britain, you can’t take our picture.’ Well, they can take your pictures, that’s not against the law. And the photographer is calling on the French police to do their job, to protect him in his legal pursuit of his profession, by taking his pictures.
“But the cops aren’t doing something. If you watch this footage fastidiously, one of the cops in the direction of the end tells the photographer that he should not be taking these footage because he is treating these migrants like animals. No he is not, he is doing his job, he is taking footage completely legally.
“But it proves that the French police are taking our money, our £662million – in fact, more than a billion over the last three or four years. They don’t really protect the law on these beaches, and certainly seem to show favouritism towards the migrants who want to set sail in illegal boats to the promised land. It’s quite something, isn’t it?”

It was at this level that the political commentator shared her ideas on the new footage, and urged the federal government to reevaluate its deal with the French police drive. She argued: ” This extraordinary footage raises so many questions and reinforces so much of what you and I have talked about on this show so often.
“Here, we’ve got the French police armed up to the tooth with pepper spray and their foolish little riot shields, and they’re doing completely nothing as a group of migrants collect on the seaside forward of making an attempt to get to the UK. Even worse, we’ve got a very aggressive there, an unlawful immigrant, who begins angrily confronting a photographer who is absolutely entitled under French law to be working on that public seaside.
“He was standing a very respectful distance away from the migrants, which, frankly, is more than they deserved, and the French police’s instinct is to go after the photographer. We see the migrant trying to clutch a rock to throw it at the photographer.
“This is disgraceful, it truly is disgraceful, and the French police seem to have turned most of their sources now on making an attempt to goal those who are capturing their own inadequacy. What the federal government is doing, persevering with to fund this full charade with the French police, is beggar’s perception. We needs to be demanding the money back.”
It didn’t take long before viewers flocked to social media to share their fury online, with one user declaring: “Why would the French stop them? They don’t need them; they need to get rid of them as soon as potential. It’s been apparent proper from the first fee we made; in fact, it is acquired worse. We have all the evidence they don’t seem to be making an attempt, so let’s put in for a refund from Macron.”
Another agreed: “The cheek of the French police telling the photographer that he is treating this unlawful migrant like animals when he is doing nothing incorrect.” A third fumed: “The major responsibility of the federal government is to guarantee the security and security of UK residents. They are blatantly failing to defend us.”
Meanwhile, another argued: “We’ve acquired to stop blaming the French. If the show have been on the other foot and all of these scumbags have been making an attempt to depart British shores, would we be stopping them? I doubt it. We have our navy in the ocean pushing them back. It labored from Australia and other international locations.”
