The problem for the British is two fold.
1) They don't send supplies and trapped Army and French get weaker and weaker. Nearly the same as if ships were sunk...
2) They send the stuff and risk it getting caught.
The British have a much shorter distance to go and if they limit themelves to moving at night they should be able to get through.

If the Germans start catching coilers bound for France then they will be able to operate in the western approaches longer than if they are starved.

I wasn't sure if you were arguing the broad point that convoys are the silver bullet to GB's problems everywhere (which they are not) and the more
limited version that they needed to give French both the plural and the singular enough to survive.

Unless the British resupply their troops and get some coal and other goods to the French they are in for a world of pain. I suspect that without such
respupply the British forces will become totally combat ineffective and face collapse in the face of a determined attack.
