As the dinghy entered British waters, we approached it. There were 13 people on board. I have to say that one or two of them were pretty aggressive towards us. The vast majority of passengers were young men of fighting age, leading me to conclude that a principal reason for their flight is that they are dodging conscription. It is also entirely possible that some of those arriving were part of the defeated ISIS caliphate army. A sobering thought. Before long, the Dover lifeboat and Border Force had arrived and they were then taxied back into Dover to begin their new life in England. The ease with which these people are welcomed into Britain as though they are in need, despite having left an equally safe European country an hour or two earlier, makes me so angry.

Although Britain has given France 61 million of taxpayers money since 2015 to stop this scam, the French continue to blame us for somehow creating this situation. The difference is, they are acting now in an even more underhand and deceitful way. Reports that the Home Office has contacted Roman Quaedvlieg, the former head of Australias border force, to consult him on potential measures to halt the illegal boats is a start. However, I would suggest going even further and asking Tony Abbott, the former Prime Minister of Australia, to come and help Priti Patel directly. Mr Abbott is well disposed towards this country and he knows from experience that crises such as this one are, in the end, down to political will. His experience in handling illegal immigration into Australia by sea would prove invaluable.

The traffickers are now using Brexit as their key selling point. If we do not, as I hope, extend the transition period beyond the end of 2020, I predict there will be a massive influx this summer. For this reason, our politicians cannot wait until the end of transition for new legislation. Priti Patel must act now.

The vast majority of Westminsters politicians and our mainstream media organisations may think this issue is unimportant. As my report from the Channel last week showed, however, the public care about this very deeply. Believe it or not, there are many sound and legitimate reasons for caring about ones own country, whatever myths the Islington elite chooses to peddle. Priti Patel must not forget this.
