Britain’s Migrant Crisis: Why Can’t The Government Stop Record Numbers Crossing The Channel?

The British government’s handling of the immigration crisis has been heavily criticised, with claims that it is a total mess. Despite a £480m deal signed earlier this year between Britain and France to curb channel crossings, the situation seems to have worsened. Recent good weather has led to a surge in migrants attempting the dangerous journey in small boats, with over 20,000 already making the crossing this year. Observations on the ground suggest that the French authorities are escorting these boats to the border, where they are then left to make their own way to the UK coastline. Despite the substantial financial agreement between Britain and France, the situation on the ground tells a different story. The inflatable boats filled with migrants are being shepherded by French ships to British waters, where they are then handed over to the responsibility of UK border force. This raises questions about the efficacy of the measures implemented to tackle the crisis. The lack of answers and tangible change has left the British people feeling frustrated and let down.
