I was referring to the people trafficking.

I think pretty much everyone has been against that. It just seems odd that migrant crossings become big news everytime the government do something unpopular with the large %age of the country....even though we're told these crossings happen so often. Normally a story with a proposed solution that they know won't ever be implimented.
 
Am I missing something? Nothing there disputes what I posted.
No idea. I didn't really get the point you were making, as you said:
"However my understanding is that anyone landing in the UK not in a usual entry point or claiming asylum immediately is entering the country illegally. Most of those crossing the channel are in this category."

This doesn't really help as there was no mention of where they were landing and whether or not they had immediately claimed asylum. I was just putting a link up to some more info on the situation with regards to asylum seekers and you could then hopefully work out if it applied to those you were discussing.

I have no idea how many crossing the channel in such a way do either of these things, for all I know it could be 0%, or it could be 100%, or, more realistically, somewhere in between. The link just hopefully clarifies what the regulations are for those who are genuinely seeking asylum, whatever proportion that may be and hopefully we all don't assume that everyone who does it is doing it for the same reasons.

I think a spell of warm weather and calm seas towards the end of the trafficking season is also a factor.
 
Even when it was the bears, I knew it was the Immiggants

This doesn't really help as there was no mention of where "they" were landing and whether or not "they" had immediately claimed asylum. I was just putting a link up to some more info on the situation with regards to asylum seekers and you could then hopefully work out if it applied to "those" you were discussing.

Okay fair enough. I do actually know a bit about the asylum process due to my job. The majority of entrants via the boats in the channel are the category I referenced.
However, obviously, it's impossible to say volumes or percentages with any certainty because many successfully cross the channel undetected and, usually, head to London.

If they are intercepted at sea or on landing, they claim asylum. That's what they're told to do anyway. That makes them 'legal' until their case is heard.

it's not illegal to cross the channel in a dinghy to seek asylum in the UK
 
The current rate of inflation increase means some won't be able to kick anything down the road soon.

huh?

they can certainly keep on delaying border checks in the face of rampant inflation? I fail to see the link?
 

Crikey, the Spectator has twigged too

I wonder if the editors at the Mail and the Sun are thinking of flipping the narrative and being angry at someone (Johnson?) for not delivering on promises
