Migrants are not fleeing for their lives from France

Former UKIP leader Henry Bolton says migrants are "trying to exploit our goodwill, our liberal democracy and our economy." "It's ridiculous to say these people are fleeing for their lives from France." The number of people crossing the Channel to reach Britain this year has passed 11,000, figures reveal. Analysis of Ministry of Defence data by the PA news agency shows 11,092 people have been brought to shore by Border Force or the RNLI after being rescued from small boats in the Channel, the world’s busiest shipping lane. On Thursday, 146 people on four small boats were brought to Britain. #talkradio #talktv #kevinosullivan #henrybolton #migrants
