the british government telling the british to wait at the shores while the enemy is closing in on them fast is the equivalent of the teacher telling you to calmy exit the building during a fire.
Well that and the fact that if they sent the royal navy to retrieve them, they a) opened up the mainland for invasion, and b) diverted naval power away from supply lines that would have been annihilated by German U-boats. The Dunkirk evacuation had to happen the way it did because there was literally no other choice.

The French Army stood, defending their British brothers in arms, to their fullest extent. They held off the fascist onslaught so the ships and boats could save them, take them home to England. Even as the Nazis advanced through the beaten French, the French fought on. And the Brits escaped. And France fell. A few years later, the Brits came back with some old and new friends to liberate the French forces who'd saved them. The French who never stopped fighting. Nowadays everyone forgets, and laughs at the French surrender. But the sands at Dunkirk won't forget.
