More than 270 illegal immigrants cross the Channel by small boats on Thursday

More than 270 people crossed the English Channel in 10 small boats on Thursday, the Home Office confirmed.

Several young children were among the 271 migrants who were brought ashore in Dover by UK Border Force officers.

French authorities also intercepted 75 people in three small boats, despite near-freezing temperatures on the Channel on Thursday.

More than 28,000 migrants made the journey throughout 2021, compared to 8,400 in 2020.

Thursday's figure is more than the entire total for January last year. More than 450 people have made the trip across the Channel in January so far.

Minister for Justice and Tackling Illegal Migration, Tom Pursglove, said: "The government is reforming our approach to illegal entry to the UK and asylum by making the tough decisions to end the overt exploitation of our laws and its impact on UK taxpayers."

We need to return the Africans to the African Union and the middle Eastern ones to the Arab League to deal with.


Then the message will quickly get round that there is no point trying to illegally enter the UK and the asylum blag is no longer possible to get away with, and they will stop trying!!!

Thus the UK's labor shortage was solved!

I've fixed the thread title.


Looks like the govt are now going to get the British navy involved in stopping these boat loads of illegal immigrants... But what are they going to do exactly?
