Sky News reported that according to provisional Home Office figures, a record number of migrants crossed the English Channel so far this year. “The latest data exceeds the previous record high figure in the first three months of 2022 and had already surpassed the arrivals in the first few months of last year.”
“Some 4,644 have made the journey in 2024 – a record for the first three months of a calendar year.” “Of the total, 338 people arrived in the UK in seven boats on Tuesday.”
The most recent statistics surpasses the 3,793 arrivals in the first three months of last year as well as the previous record high total of 4,548 for January to March 2022.
It happens in spite of Prime Minister Modi’s declaration that his plan was working and Rishi Sunak’s continuous attempts to “stop the boats”.
Following a record-breaking day for crossings, Downing Street announced in the third week of March that the government was facing a “migration emergency”.
On March 20, 10 boats carrying 514 passengers made the trip, making it the busiest day since the year’s beginning.
The prime minister stated that he will “pass new laws to stop small boats, making sure that if you come to this country illegally, you are detained and swiftly removed” as part of his “stop the boats” vow, one of his five objectives released at the beginning of 2023.
Reacting to the figures, Labour said it was “time to get a grip and restore order to the border”. So many lies, dear readers. They won’t do anything about it. They bring the chaos and then they promise you order. The masonic motto Ordo ad Chao [order out of chaos] it is.
Accordingly, a total of 29,437 migrants crossed the Channel into the UK last year, a 36% decrease from the peak 45,774 arrivals in 2022.
However, data from this year indicates that, thus far, crossings are 23% more than at the same point in 2023 and 12% higher than at the same point in 2022, as per the PA news agency’s examination of official data.
