Mega-Dinghy Carries 165 Migrants Across Channel
25th July 2026
A mega-dinghy carrying 165 migrants has crossed the Channel, setting a new record for the number of arrivals on a single small boat.
The packed vessel – intercepted by Border Force on Thursday – beat the previous record from July 11, when 128 migrants crossed in one boat.
It was one of three dinghies to cross the Channel on Thursday, bringing a total of 366 migrants. The other two vessels carried an average 100 people each.
The higher number reflects efforts by people-smuggling gangs to cram more migrants onto each boat to maximise profits.
No mention of stopping them, or of penalizing France for allowing this shit to go on, or to sending them back.
Imagine what Trump would do….
