People smugglers are laughing at the British Labour government’s pledge to ‘smash the gangs’ and are hoping for a particularly busy summer of Channel crossings thanks to special ‘season’ discounts.
Migrants will be able to pay thousands of pounds less to get from France to the UK via a small boat, reports said this week. So far this year, the number of crossings has already passed 10,000—and at the earliest point of the year since records began—which doesn’t bode well for daily figures during the summer.
