UK: BORDER POLICING Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, SUE REID'S special investigation uncovers THREE shocking new revelations about our border policing that Priti Patel simply cannot ignore
An investigation has revealed that people smugglers ferrying migrants across the channel have upped their game, using super-inflatables to bring record numbers to UK shores. It has also been revealed 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.
