How would you solve the immigrant crisis?

Turning back migrant boats heading across the Channel to the UK would be a “highly dangerous” tactic if adopted, an ex-Border Force chief has warned.

Tony Smith, former Border Force director general, said the UK’s top priority should be “the preservation of life above all else” and called for a diplomatic solution to its war of words with France over efforts to tackle migrants crossing the Channel by boat.

His comments come following reports that Home Secretary Priti Patel had sanctioned tactics to turn back migrant boats towards the continent to stop them from making the journey to the UK.
