Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, who has done much to expose the sheer scale of the Channel crisis and the co-operation of the British and French authorities in ferrying illegal aliens to England, said he was not convinced Boris Johnson and Priti Patel will ever take meaningful action on the crossings. “Official figures show that approaching 500 illegal immigrants crossed the Channel this week,” he claimed in a social media post. “I predicted an invasion and it is happening. Government say they will return many,” he added. “I don’t believe a word of it.”
