The people traffickers’ mega-boat ferries a load of migrants across the sea from France to Britain, roaring at high speed through waves towards the Kent coast.
Each of the 16 young men on board the 36ft-long inflatable is wearing an expensive lifejacket.
The skipper, in a designer waterproof, has his hand firmly on the tiller of the boat’s powerful outboard as he heads for the White Cliffs of Dover.
Their craft is evidence of the latest tactic used by the ruthless people-smugglers — massive inflatable boats, some capable of carrying up to 70 passengers.
The migrants were spotted last Tuesday afternoon in English waters on their 21-mile illegal cross-Channel journey, and a few moments later they were picked up by Britain’s Border Force vessel, Speedwell, and ferried safely into Dover.
They had enjoyed their journey untroubled by the French navy, which is tasked with stopping them making the crossing.
‘It was just before 1pm British time when the Border Force reached them,’ said a south coast sailor who contacted the Mail about the pick up.
Smugglers are upping their game to ferry migrants across the Channel in record numbers
An investigation has revealed that RNLI boats now go into French waters to pick up migrants
‘Anyone who knows about the Channel could see the skipper, probably a migrant himself, was an accomplished seaman plotting a safe course from France.
‘It was a people smugglers’ vessel. Yet its occupants were collected by Speedwell. The crew even towed the traffickers’ mega-boat to shore too.’
I have been investigating the cross-Channel migrant business for months, and judging by activities this week it is clear that the traffickers are upping their game and that the British authorities are floundering in response to the numbers of new arrivals.
I can reveal that these lengthy super-inflatables are the new mode of transport for migrants prepared to stump up premium sums for rapid trips across the Channel.
In addition, I discovered that Border Force vessels are using covert tactics to keep their activities hidden, and that one of their techniques is to communicate with the French navy using ‘closed’ radio channels as opposed to the open channel most boats use.
And what is more, it is clear that the Royal
National Lifeboat Institution — the registered charity so many of us help fund
through donations, garden fetes and collection boxes — is regularly sending its
vessels into French waters to bring in migrants.

It is, say critics, doing so even if they are not in imminent danger and in areas which are the responsibility of the French — not British — sea rescue services.

Intercept does not mean stop. Is the Express lying to us? Is it a corrupt Propaganda machine? Hint: YES. The Mail admits that they got away with their crimes.

482 More Criminals Arrive In On Day [ 5 August 2021 ]
Is Boris Johnson letting them come? Is he bribing them to come? Is he using an enemy alien, e.g. Priti Patel to misuse Border Force to import them. to collude in crime, in Illegal Immigration, in Ethnic Fouling, in Treason?
