Record 230 people cross Channel to UK as smugglers turn to 'mega dinghies' The record breaking 230 people who crossed the English Channel in a single dinghy last Monday are not just statistics or headlines – they represent a stark reminder of the UK government's failure to address the root causes of the Channel crisis.
As smugglers adapt their tactics and escalate their use of "mega dinghies," it becomes clear that current policies are ineffective and morally reprehensible.
The escalation in mega dinghy crossings is a direct result of people smugglers' ability to evade enforcement by UK and French authorities.
