Update re Channel Crossing: Sussex Police request assistance.

An update from yesterday, apparently there were 2 rigid inflatable boats that came over from France early yesterday morning, one landed near Winchelsea, and the other (see above image) landed close to Hastings. 17 men, women and children have been detained by the UK Border Force, and the police believe a few that landed at Winchelsea "disappeared into the surrounding countryside."

Hastings Police: "Two of those detained required medical treatment and we are concerned that one or two others still outstanding may also be in need of assistance.

"We would ask anyone seeing strangers in the area who may appear cold, wet, hungry, disorientated, or in need of medical aid, to report it by calling immediately on 999, quoting serial 276 of 3/10." (Sussex Police website). 



Rock-a-Nore Invasion?!?

You know something's up when 7 police vehicles and the Coastguard go tearing down Rock-a-Nore Road with 'blues & twos' blazing, and they're still there as I write! And ambulance. Though no UK Border Force yet apparently... 😧

Since discovered that the Lifeboat is now out and helicopter too, cheers Rod!

10.47 the helicopter is now at Pett Level apparently, again, cheers Rod!

Vehicles are now leaving (10.51), apparently moving on to Pett, maybe?

Out there, Fairlight Glen most likely, it appears illegal persons have landed, no sun today so the naturists shouldn't be disturbed.

Fingers crossed people are safe, whatever.
