MIGRANT CROSSING TO UK HIT NEW DAILY RECORD

  • 12/11/2021

On Thursday, approximately 1,000 people crossed the Channel by boat to reach the United Kingdom, setting a new record for migrant Channel crossings in a single day.

As a period of calm and mild weather made the journey less dangerous, five lifeboats and four Border Force vessels escorted groups to Dover.

According to a Whitehall source, France has lost control of the situation.

According to the Home Office, the British people do not want to see people die in the Channel while ruthless gangs profit.

More than 23,000 people have crossed from France to the United Kingdom by boat so far this year, a significant increase from the 8,404 in 2020 - and far more than in the years preceding the pandemic, when most asylum seekers arrived by plane, ferry, or train.
