Today, the government has set out what it calls ‘bold new plans’ to tackle the illegal migration crisis that has seen tens of thousands of people crossing the dangerous English Channel in inflatable boats in a bid to get into the UK.

It is estimated that international criminal gangs have netted hundreds of millions of pounds after charging people up to £10,000 each to get them onto UK shores.

According to official statistics, nine in ten of the 28,526 migrants who crossed the Channel in small boats last year (2021) were male. Seven in ten were single.

Many lives have been lost after the small inflatable boats being used to get illegal migrants into the UK have sunk in what is one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.
