Boris Shuts All Travel Corridors, But Migrant Boats Keep on Coming
17 Jan 2021
Thirty-six illegal boat migrants were brought ashore by the UK Border Force on Saturday, just one day after Boris Johnson shut down travel to Britain amidst fears of new mutant strains of the Chinese coronavirus.
Brexit leader Nigel Farage shared footage of some of the illegal migrants arriving in the country after they sailed from France across the English Channel on Saturday.
Mr Farage wrote on social media: “The travel corridors are closed today, but one remains very much open. 30 more illegal migrants into Dover again this morning.”
15,000 Illegals Tried to Cross English Channel in Small Boats in 2020
16 Jan 2021
Some 15,000 illegal aliens attempted to cross the English Channel from Continental Europe in small boats in 2020, according to the European Union’s law enforcement agency Europol.
Europol said in figures released on Thursday that from January to mid-December 2020, “law enforcement authorities of concerned countries registered more than 1,300 incidents involving more than 15,000 [illegal aliens] crossing the English Channel in small boats”.
That figure includes successful crossings, attempted crossing stopped by European authorities, and the discovery of nautical equipment associated with illegal crossings. An estimated 8,500 people landed in the United Kingdom last year, though that does not include those that managed to evade detection by UK Border Force, slipping into the underground economy.
The Wiggles, are the most streamed artists on the
Spotify Kids app in Australia in 2020.
We salute you and we thank you Emma, Lachy, Simon and Anthony - parenting our small people during lockdown would simply not have been possible without you.
Yes, I may come to blows with my iPhone if I m forced to listen to Hot Potato one more time, but nonetheless I am forever indebted.
Interestingly,
The Wiggles took out a top five spot of most streamed artists on the adult Spotify too. Wild, right?
I guess it makes sense because sadly, as screen time in my household reached an all time high this year, it dominates my Recently Played tracks. Thanks so much kids!
