The UK govt has asked its military to prevent a surge in illegal immigrants crossing the English Channel in small boats and reaching the UK from France. The Ministry of Defense said it had received a request from the Home Office to ’support UK Border Force operations in the Dover Straits.’Immigration Compliance Minister Chris Philip said that he will speak to the French authorities on the matter.
This rhetoric has been coming out for months, nothing has happened. The Tories think that keeping the Red Wall means giving the NHS lots of money. They have no idea that issues like this is what really motivates its new voters, and it just isn't a priority for Blairite Tory politicians.
