On your tv, in your car, on your digital radio, and now on your Smart Speaker by saying play gb news. This is britains news. Channel well, it was small boats week and it was the disaster. Very large numbers crossed the engush large numbers crossed the English Channel. A drone crashed into the English Channel and a Border Force Boat broke down. And that was all before saturday morning when in pretty choppy conditions. I was stunned that 500 people crossed the channel and im afraid not shocked or surprised that six more people drowned. Much of this happened on the french side of the channel and theres been much criticism of the french navy. Criticism of the french navy. Why werent they quick enough . But, you know what . When people go overboard into the channel, you probably havent got very long get to them. But i want long to get to them. But i want to say this. Weve given £500 million to the french to stop the crossings. And actually they do stop a lot of boats. They put knives into the inflatables, but theyre being expected to police a stretch of coastline that stretches for 60 or 70 miles. But this is the one thing that really gets me once one of those dinghies is afloat, even if its 100 yards off a french beach, then the practise stand and practise is the french navy. Practise is the french navy. Then escort that vessel all to the 12 mile line from the british coast where they literally hand it over to border force or the lifeboats, depending who is there first. And all the while , all the and all the while, all the french are escorting those boats out of those waters into ours. We frankly shouldnt be paying them a single penny. The argument is, ah, well, if we try to stop them and turn them around, if we try and take them on board, they threaten to throw the children into the channel. These are the blackmail tactics that are being used by those trying going to cross the channel. But you know what . After a week or so of doing this , the boats would stop leaving french beaches. The french french beaches. The french escorts simply must. They have to stop , stop. And escorts simply must. They have to stop, stop. And id also say this. There are constant talk of cracking down on the human traffickers and so much talk of gunfire that took place in one of the camps before that boat launched it and sank with the loss of six lives on saturday. But traffickers having guns is nothing new. Take a look at this individual killed. On the letter individual killed. On the letter d, acidic. There and there he is helping a boat launch off the beach. Well , here he a boat launch off the beach. Well, here he is again. A boat launch off the beach. Well, here he is again. You well, here he is again. You see . See the gun . There he is in his tent. Theres the gun. And his tent. Theres the gun. And weve got more footage of this individual that we can show you clearly identifiable. And there he is. And theres a load of migrants there being pushed away from the beaches by the French Police. He is an afghan trafficker. Hes been doing this trafficker. Hes been doing this for the last two years. His name is thought to be jaweed. And is thought to be jaweed. And there he is on the beaches. Hes on the roads showing a gun. And on the roads showing a gun. And its all available on tiktok. Its all available on tiktok. And yet hes still able to do it. As i say, the french authorities may well be stopping boats leaving the beaches, but whats the point when the same people are back there the next day . Not only do the french day . Not only do the french escorts simply have to stop , but escorts simply have to stop, but but and i do think this is very, very important that people like that that are advertising on tiktok are easy to track down. They need to be arrested and charged. It wont stop the trade of itself, but it will at least help. Why are they all coming . Well, one of the reasons is its so easy to work in the black economy in this country and Food Delivery Companies are now being urged to carry out more detailed checks on who their drivers are as authorities report, a huge increase in undocumented immigrants exploiting the rules to work in the sector. Immigrants exploiting the rules to work in the sector. Home Office Officials say working in the shadow economy is a major pull factor. Youd never guessed it , would pull factor. Youd never guessed it, would you . For pull factor. Youd never guessed it , would you . For those it, would you . For those embarking on the dangerous journeys, well , our home and journeys, well, our home and security editor mark white was given exclusive access as Immigration Enforcement officers launched a major crackdown on this scam with raids and special operations in a number of cities. And mark joined them in brighton at the weekend in towns and cities across the uk , these and cities across the uk, these delivery drivers are everywhere. We all use them, but increasingly the person who turns up at your door is breaking the law. We can reveal a massive surge in the number of Illegal Immigrants working in the delivery sector. Were with the delivery sector. Were with the delivery sector. Were with the Immigration Enforcement officers in Brighton City centre , a joint operation with Sussex Police as they target the delivery drivers, they suspect of working illegally. The police of working illegally. The police have just stopped this rider on the seafront , but as they carry the seafront, but as they carry out checks , immigration out checks, Immigration Enforcement teams hang back out of sight so as not to alert other drivers that theyre around this riders. Documents checked out and he was cleared to go just round the corner. Other immigration officers have stopped an indonesian delivery dnven stopped an indonesian delivery driver, but he is currently under arrest. So, first of all, i need to take a photograph of him. Checks on him, indicate he is working here illegally and likely faces deportation in just four years ago, Immigration Enforcement were only really encountered ing a handful of Illegal Immigrants working in the gig economy. Now its vast. It is one of the key target areas for these officers. This operation is part of a major crackdown, specifically targeting those exploiting the gig economy, where legitimate self employed delivery drivers often rent out their accounts to undocumented workers. Theyre undercutting legitimate employers and theyre undercutting legitimate employees, both who are who are trying to undertake things, playing by the rules. And it really is it really is a major issue. Issue. Immigration key comes to the doon immigration key comes to the door. Please in east london. Other officers are targeting the homes officers are targeting the homes of undocumented drivers. You dont see them coming in and out. Did i have a motorbike . The suspect here has, it seems, moved on to another address. Not uncommon given the transitory nature of undocumented immigrants. Its undocumented immigrants. Its back in brighton. This brazilian rider has just been arrested after trying to escape by going the wrong way up a one way street. He spotted immigration officers , we think, and hes officers, we think, and hes tried to flee. It looks the tried to flee. It looks the early indications are that hes working in breach of his entry conditions to the uk. Conditions to the uk. There are those who feel these riders are doing little harm and these raids are a distraction from the trauma and tragedy unfolding all too often in the mediterranean and in the engush in the mediterranean and in the English Channel. This past weekend. But Authorities Say weekend. But Authorities Say illegal working and illegal journeys are absolutely linked. Journeys are absolutely linked. The illegal working is a major pull factor for illegal migration into the uk. If you know youre coming to the uk with a job, youre more likely to travel here illegally and also undertake potentially unsafe journeys. Unsafe journeys. As home office say, many as the home office say, many Delivery Companies are increasingly cooperating in the efforts to stop illegals exploiting their services. But they still need to do far more to check those delivering food and goods in their name are who they say they are. Mark white gb they say they are. Mark white gb news brighton. News brighton. Well, great work there by mark white and his gb news team. And ill bet you thats not just in brighton. Ill bet you that scam is going on in every single town in this country because obviously we have no idea literally no idea how many people have settled here illegally in the last 25 years or so. Well to react to that and the idea the idea that the home office now tell us that we can expect five more years. Yes or five more years of channel crossings, that is what the home office expect. I wonder whether you at home find that acceptable. Give me your thoughts. Farage at gbnews. Com. Well neighbouring brighton is of course east worthing and shoreham and tim loughton is the conservative member of parliament for that area and tim, your reaction to those scenes from brighton over the weekend . The weekend . Well, first of all, im pleased that Sussex Police mounted that operation and we need more operations like that up and down the country. As you as you say, i mean, the government has only recently trebled the fines available for people working here illegally. Its £60,000 now per employee for anybody whos found to not be working here illegally. That is not a a small amount. Be working here illegally. That is not a a small amount. In is not a a small amount. In addition to which landlords can be fined if theyve got tenants again who are not allowed to be in the in the country. So there are big penalties there. The trouble is we need those penalties to be enforced and we need more operations like the one we saw in brighton up and down the country. And we need greater cooperation from some of the big gig employers as as well. You know, these are big companies. This is a big companies. This is a big business in delivery. Now. They business in delivery. Now. They need to be doing their bit in making sure theyre properly scrutinising, not just those people they think cycling people they think are cycling for them, but those are actually delivering to the door if its being subcontracted as well. Thats completely un unacceptable and they need to do more about it. Tim you know, you make the point quite reasonably that the fines have gone up substantially for those that have been seen to aiding and abetting work in the illegal part of our economy. But the party point out that the Labour Party Point out that convictions this have convictions for this have actually fallen over the course of last or 7 years and of the last 6 or 7 years and doesnt this in some ways rather sum up what were getting from successive conservative governments . Tough talk , but governments . Tough talk, but really when it comes to it, not enough action . Well, i dont know what the level of convictions actually is, whether that is right or not. If they have been falling, then clearly more needs to be done about it. Given that weve got more people coming here illegally across the channel that we that we know about and if theyve had their claims rejected and then disappeared into the into the aether, theyre likely to be doing some form of illegal illegal work. So its a its a function of the home office and of the police that needs to be beefed up. I entirely agree with that. But okay, now theres a limit to the penalties. You can you can bring in. Its enforcement thats in. But its enforcement thats absolutely key here. Tim, be honest. Now, tim, lets be honest. Last week, rishi sunak small boats , weak announcements coming boats, weak announcements coming out every day. We heard about the ascension islands and much else. Lets face it, the week was a disaster, wasnt it . The week was a disaster. There is no prospect act of anything. This government is doing. Ending the problem. And to get this report problem. And to get this report overnight right that the home office expect this to continue for a further five years. Havent the tory government completely failed on this . Okay. So first of all, okay. So first of all, i think it was a hostage to fortune focusing on small boats week, particularly in the middle of august when youre a completely at the mercy of the weather conditions, improving when they tend to have more boats coming across and the tactics of the people smugglers who exceedingly flexible in who are exceedingly flexible in how they try and get people over here, they use fewer, but larger boats. They use more and smaller boats. They use more and smaller boats or whatever. Weve seen how they how they operate. Its how they how they operate. Its not true to say the home office is predicting this for five years. Nigel i saw the report. Years. Nigel i saw the report. What its based on is the value for money assessment on using some of these ex military and prison camps on a five year calculation. How it stacks up calculation. How it stacks up against having to use completely inappropriately all these hotels inappropriately all these hotels in towns and cities up and down the up and down the country. That doesnt mean its going to last for five for five years. But absolutely, there needs to be a value for money for case why we should be using alternatives, whether it be barges, whether it be ex military camps, whether it be former whatever. Former prisons or whatever. Thats this is about. Thats what this is about. Hopefully are not going to be hopefully we are not going to be having this same problem still in time. In five years time. Weve been having well, weve been having it since and gets worse since 2018 and it gets worse every a final thought on every year. A final thought on this , tim. You know , british this, tim. You know, british judges will rely on the human rights act. The human rights act makes it very difficult to deport people. Human rights act, deport people. Human rights act, of course, is because of the incorporation of the European Convention on human rights into the british law. Isnt it time the british law. Isnt it time we left the Strasbourg Court and decided for ourselves how we deal with these issues is i think thats a bit of a red herring. Nigel. Frankly, there are three things that need to be done before we have to start looking at that. First is to stop the boats coming across. And thats where the french absolute certainly need to step up and they could stop it overnight by intercepting those boats in the water and bringing the passengers back to french beaches they actually do beaches when they actually do intercept, as they are doing more with our and our more of with our money and our kit , those on the beaches, they kit, those on the beaches, they confiscate the boat, but let the migrants go. So they come back the night the the following night or the following night and they only have get once. Thats have to get lucky once. Thats got the got to change. Secondly, the home office has got to absolutely step up the time it takes process their their takes to process their their claims. And thirdly, we need to be better have more be much better and have more agreements those agreements about returning those who asylum case. Who have a failed asylum case. All things absolutely need all those things absolutely need to happen. Yes. To happen. Yes. And my point, tim, on your third point, my point is, all the w
