On Wednesday, January 14th, French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced that he had banned ten British activists from French territory, accusing them of carrying out actions against migrants on the northern coast. It is highly likely that in their case, the ban on entering France will be strictly enforced.

The minister said ten members of the ‘Raise the Colours’ movement are from now on “prohibited from entering and staying in France.”

The movement has become well known in recent weeks across the Channel for encouraging British people to fly the Union Jack out of national pride and to protest against uncontrolled immigration and, more broadly, policies that undermine the historical identity of the United Kingdom.

The activists are accused of “searching for and destroying small boats,” the small makeshift vessels used by migrants to reach England from the French coast. They are also accused of conducting propaganda campaigns targeting British citizens living in the French departments of Nord and Pas-de-Calais, encouraging them to join their ranks and fight vigorously against immigration.

The case was handled swiftly. According to the ministry’s official statement, Nuñez was informed of the facts in December 2025. An investigation followed to identify the individuals, who were permanently banned from French territory in mid-January. By contrast, standard procedures for deporting illegal immigrants can take months—and may ultimately not be enforced. In this case, we can trust the state services to scrupulously enforce the banishment of the activists involved, while one can only dream that such administrative efficiency would also be observed for all illegal immigrants who violate French borders every day, in the North and elsewhere.

For the ministry of the interior, it was urgent to keep the activists out of France not only because of the ‘disturbances’ they cause to public order, but also because their actions “incite hatred and discrimination.”

The coastline of the Nord and Pas-de-Calais regions has been in a state of constant violence and anarchy for months, if not years, due to the flow of migrants seeking to reach the English coast. Interior ministers have come and gone, but none have managed to guarantee order and security in areas known by the sad nicknames of “Calais jungle” or “Dunkirk jungle,” which have turned the daily lives of residents into hell.

The administrative ban against Raise the Colours activists comes at the same time as news that Dutch influencer Eva Vlaardingerbroek has been refused entry to the UK, on the grounds that her presence would not be “conductive to the public good.”

On both sides of the Channel, the authorities obviously have a curious sense of priorities and security.
