Two illegal boat migrants died in the English Channel on Sunday morning after setting sail from the beaches of France in an unstable dinghy.
According to French maritime officials, around 50 other migrants were brought back to France despite the official policy of Paris to assist migrants in reaching British territorial waters rather than returning them over supposed safety concerns.

Commenting on the latest loss of life, an HM Coastguard spokesperson said: “HM Coastguard offered assistance to the French Coastguard with an incident involving a small boat in the Channel this morning, Sunday, August 11.
“A search and rescue unit and a Border Force vessel were sent to provide support.”
“This latest tragedy underlines the terrible dangers of small boat crossings, and we continue to do everything we can to prevent callous criminals exploiting vulnerable people. Our thoughts are with those affected.”
It has been estimated that over 3,000 illegals have crossed the English Channel since the new left-wing Labour Party government of Sir Keir Starmer came into power last month.
