Channel patrol: Priti Patel’s harsh regime is ‘answer to a crisis that doesn’t exist’ Mark Townsend © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Glyn Kirk/AFP/Getty Images Blue skies appeared above Dover, and for the crew of the Valiant, moored off the harbour wall, it was a signal to start readying for action.
