11 Apr 2021 Brexit leader Nigel Farage said that Home Secretary Priti Patel prefers to “pretend” the migrant crisis in the English Channel is not happening as another 49 illegal boat migrants have been brought ashore in Britain since Friday. Despite rough weather conditions in the English Channel, the migrant boats continued to pour in, with 44 migrants arriving on Friday and an additional five making the perilous journey on Saturday. French authorities were able to stop an additional 147 migrants from entering British territorial waters during the same time span, according to the Daily Mail. Releasing footage of migrants being taken ashore by the Border Force, Nigel Farage said on Saturday: “Many more boats escorted into Dover yesterday, there were even some beach landings at Dungeness. The same goes for this morning.”
