From May 24 - as per the general news - on track to be the largest ever
The Home Office says it is “unacceptable” that almost 10,000 people have arrived in the UK after crossing the English Channel in small boats this year.
A total of 103 people made the crossing in two boats on Saturday bringing the total so far this year to over 9,800. This does not include numbers from two boats arriving on Sunday.
That is higher than the total for the first five months of any year since current figures began in 2018.
However do rant on, I mean 9,800 is only 33 flights to Rwanda that has spaces for ~250. Yet more to go as well.
