Nearly 1,900 migrants crossed the English Channel in small boats last year, prompting warnings from politicians that they would be sent back. But the figures suggest the reality is quite different. On 22 August last year, 94 people – including at least 10 children and one baby – piled into eight small boats on a beach in northern France and set sail for England’s south coast. Thirty were rescued by the French after getting into difficulty in the middle of the world’s busiest shipping lane. The remainder, like hundreds before them, slipped through the Strait of Dover and arrived in the UK. It’s an Invasion and needs to be Repelled.
