Alarm bells are ringing, Theresa Sunak looks to be playing into Macron's hands.
Ahead of the French summit where Rishi May is heading to Paris to restart relations with the French, there's much talks of the Channel boat migrant crisis.
Macron is set to reject the UK's returning of small boats back to France outright.
Though he is willing to lock in an multi-annual financial framework that would ensure he receives anything up to 200 million pounds or more over the three years for doing very little, probably.

It appears, Macron can bilaterally arrange to take x-amount of millions off of the UK to do very little in preventing illegal immigrants washing up on our coast. Yet, according to EU sources and French sources, Macron cannot do anything
bilaterally when asked to return illegal immigrants in boats back to France. This goalpost shift becomes an EU matter, and of course returning illegal immigrants back to the EU from the UK is not on the EU's agenda.
Secondly, Macron doesn't even hide his desperation for the UK to pair-up with France in security, defence and intelligent matters. The UK is the only other nuclear power in Europe that is capable of assisting European defence issues in know-how,
skill, expertise, technology and intelligence that Macron has decided to circumvent an EU military structure he knew the UK would not subjugate itself to. He also knows the EU can't move forward in measures against Putin because the EU houses
Russian Trojan horses. Rishi May, unlike Boris and Truss has obliged in joining Macron's workaround called the 'European Political Community', where he's cleverly devised a plan to bring the UK back into the European defence fold.
This was one of Britain's best cards in Brexit negotiations, knowing the French desperately needed UK expertise in this field, Rishi May looks to be throwing that away to appease European angst for Britain's decision to leave the EU.
What Sunak should be saying to Macron is - if you want our know-how and expertise to build long-range precision missiles, you will return illegal boats destined for our shores and get the EU to agree to passporting for our financial services. But
no, it looks like Rishi Sunak is out of the same stable as Theresa May. FML.

As usual with the French, it is all take-take-take.
I'm a firm believer that just like their position during Brexit negotiations where they played Europe's hardman in negotiations, it was France who spawned Hitler's rise to power, and destruction in Europe thereafter, after the same excessive
showboating to centre stage during the Treaty of Versailles.
