Royal Navy told to 'patrol Channel, return migrants to France and destroy dinghies'

When migrants and people smugglers get the message the English Channel is closed they will stop using the route, a military expert claims.

The article from MSN discusses a proposal by the UK's Conservative Party to address the issue of migrant crossings in the English Channel. The plan includes deploying the Royal Navy to patrol the Channel, with the authority to return migrants to France and destroy the small boats, or dinghies, used in these crossings. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to deter migrants from making the dangerous journey across the Channel, which has seen an increase in attempts.

The plan reflects the ongoing debate in the UK about immigration policy, border control, and the treatment of asylum seekers, highlighting tensions between security, humanitarian concerns, and international law.
