While the ceremony looks impressive, this visit is heavy on symbolism but light on substance. Britain has already paid France £771 million to stop the boats with little to show for it, and migration numbers continue rising dramatically. The French are making vague promises about deeper water interventions while British taxpayers foot the bill for ineffective policies.
