Two migrant boats reach UK undetected in two days; review ordered
–
Neutral summary
Two migrant boats have reached the UK coast without being intercepted by Border Force in two days, the first such unescorted landings in a year. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has ordered the Border Security Command to review how the boats managed to land. The first boat arrived at Folkestone on Monday, and the second at Samphire Hoe near Dover on Tuesday, carrying up to 30 people according to estimates. Six people were arrested in Gosport after protests over the arrivals turned hostile, with clashes with riot police. The French coastguard reported that around 60 migrants spent more than 33 hours at sea “in precarious conditions”. Activist Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, filmed himself slashing a migrant dinghy with a knife, and Hampshire police are conducting enquiries into the incident.
