The British government has been under pressure on the number of small boats and asylum seekers who passed to England.
Recently, France and England have agreed on a “One Out” return agreement, which has been designed as a deterrent to prevent boats from crossing the channel. For each immigrant, England proposes to return to France, another immigrant with the asylum case in the UK.
Sir Keir Starmer previously called the transitions “completely unacceptable”, and Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood said that the “vile” obsessions of human beings behind them “damage our borders”.
