Migrants escorted by unscrupulous people traffickers today set sail from Dunkirk at dawn - with an estimated 400 landing in England. Authorities were forced to make use of lifeboats at 8am to collect those making the illegal crossing as Border Force vessels were already full to capacity. Young children were among those rescued by authorities on what an insider described as a 'very, very busy morning' for Border Force. Arrivals wearing face masks were also seen lining up along the side of Border Force cutter Seeker. On Monday evening the first of up to 400 people were seen arriving at a military barracks that is being used to house Channel migrants.
