Priti Patel appoints ex-Royal Marine to combat migrant smuggling gangs causing Channel border crisis
PRITI Patel called up a former Royal Marine last night to spearhead action against illegal migrants crossing the Channel.
“Dan’s appointment is vital to cutting this route by bringing together all operational partners in the UK and France. But perhaps just as important will be his role in dealing with the French authorities, whom Tory MPs have accused of doing too little to stop craft crammed with migrants from leaving their shores.FOUR migrants made it to Britain in a paddling pool — using snow shovels as oars.
A total of 146 migrants arrived in the UK on Friday aboard 17 boats. Yesterday a group of 14 evaded Border Force patrols to land at Kingsdown, Kent, including a child and two pregnant women — one close to labour. Immigration Minister Chris Philp said he will meet French counterparts next week to work “to stop these illegal migrants from getting in the water in the first place”.
