THE SMALL boat gangs have no regard for human life and no respect for the way other people live.
So of course, while people across Britain have been enjoying Christmas, those gangs have seized on the mild weather to make yet more money undermining our border security and putting lives at risk sending dangerously overcrowded dinghies across the Channel.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says much stronger international law enforcement and cooperation are needed[/caption]
Smuggler gangs operate across borders, so law enforcement must cooperate across borders in order to bring them down[/caption]
For too long, they have been able to get away with that evil trade.
Over the last six years they have been allowed to build up a vast criminal industry along our border, stretching right across Europe and beyond, with manufacturing and supply chains for the boats, illegal finance networks to take payments, and extensive advertising operations full of false promises.
Their desire to profit from human misery has no limit and no conscience.
Pay extra and you get a life jacket – even though it is fake and wouldn’t keep anyone afloat.
Pay less and you take your chances on a dinghy with 70 people on board – where so many women and children have been crushed to death this year.
Failure to stop the gangs taking hold in recent years has left our border security far too dependent on how many days of good weather there are in the Channel for them to organise their boat crossings.
Vile trade
That is why this Government will not rest until we have broken the business model of the smuggling gangs and strengthened our borders once more.
The scale of the operation they have established is not easy to smash, but we must take on that task or this vile trade in people will continue.
It will demand much stronger international law enforcement and cooperation next year alongside major new action and enforcement here at home.
Our new Border Security Command, led by former Police Chief Martin Hewitt, will receive £150m of investment over the next eighteen months, plus new technology, new dedicated investigators working out of the National Crime Agency, new operations overseas and refocussed UK enforcement teams.
Already we are strengthening our work with Governments and agencies across Europe, backed up with new international agreements.
Smuggler gangs operate across borders, so law enforcement must cooperate across borders in order to bring them down.
France has announced stronger measures along their northern coast, Germany is changing the law so they can target the warehouses where small boats are stored.
And after intercepting more than 450 boats and engines across Europe in the last 18 months, recent weeks have seen dozens more raids supported by British investigators and intelligence, and the arrest of multiple suspected gang leaders.
In 2025, we will bring forward new legislation to give law enforcement tougher powers to investigate, prosecute and disrupt organised immigration crime.
we are sending a clear message: the rules must be respected and enforced
Yvette Cooper
The criminals breaching our border security need to know that they will face the full force of both the UK and international law enforcement and justice systems.
But alongside our work overseas, we need to do something important here at home.
For too long under the Tories, the asylum and immigration rules were not properly enforced, and it was far too easy to work here illegally.
Over their time in power, returns of people with no right to be here fell, and in their last thirty months in office, just four employers were charged with hiring illegal workers.
That has to change. So, we are sending a clear message: the rules must be respected and enforced; those with no right to be here must be returned; those who employ people here illegally must face the consequences.
13,500 people have been removed since we came to office, on track to meet our pledge of delivering the highest rate of returns since 2018 within our first six months, including chartering the four biggest return flights in our country’s history.
Wasted time
Since the election, our immigration enforcement teams have increased raids on car washes, nail bars, construction sites and other businesses, leading to thousands of arrests and increasing prosecutions against employers.
Next year we will bring in new biometric kits and body worn cameras so people with no right to be or work here can be identified on the spot.
This is all part of this Government’s Plan for Change to strengthen our borders and fix the foundations of a broken immigration system, while also putting more money in people’s pockets and making the NHS fit for the future.
For the last six years, while the Tories wasted time on failed gimmicks, the people smuggling gangs were busy tightening their grip on the Channel trade, expanding their empires, and increasing their capacity to launch crossings whenever the weather allowed.
To defeat the gangs, we have to be even more organised, relentless, and more determined than the criminals we are up against, and under this Government, that is what we will be.

COUNTRYFILE star Anita Rani has come under fire from fans for ‘faking’ her interest in buying a new home.
The 47-year-old appeared on CelebrityEscape to the Country in a bid to find a new place to live away from Hackney following her marriage split.
Anita explained: “All of a sudden I have this urge to be somewhere different and do somewhere different.”
She was seen visiting a number of impressive properties in Hastings and Rye before seeming to find her dream home in Dungeness.
Anita was blown away by the converted Scout Hut, which featured three bedrooms and appeared very keen to buy it.
But when she was told about the £850k price tag, Anita’s interest waned somewhat and she admitted she wasn’t sure she was ready to spend that much.
Those watching at home weren’t impressed with her u-turn and accused her of putting it on for the cameras.
One person wrote: “There’s no way Anita Rani is interested in any of these homes shown. It’s all just for the programme. The fake enthusiasm is nauseating.”
A second imitated her, commenting: “Great…great….great…..let’s buy it….
“Well what do you think?”…Mmm….maybe none of them???….or am I mistaken….”
“I’ve got a budget of £875k. House of her dreams is £875k. I don’t know if I can afford it,” remarked a third.
While a fourth added: “Caught a bit of the celeb #escapetothecountry just now; all guests are doing it for the appearance fee. If they wanted to splash a million on a house they’d do it away from the telly cameras.”
Anita was married to tech entrepreneur Bhupi for 14 years after the couple met at a warehouse party in London and bonded over their shared love of music.
The couple tied the knot six months later in a three-day Indian wedding in 2009 which Anita had previously described as ‘bonkers’.
The Strictly star said: “We had 450 of our nearest and dearest in Bradford, which is relatively small for a Punjabi wedding.”
She had previously called being single ‘uncharted territory’ when the couple first split.
With their busy work schedules said to be a contributing factor, she moved into her former London flat purchased 20 years prior.
At the time she was juggling a jam-packed work schedule, which included the launch of her debut novel, Baby Does A Runner, about a British Asian woman in search of her identity, in July 2023.
When the news broke she told The Sun at the time: “It’s liberating that people know that I’m single now.”
“Not everything works out. Things come to their natural conclusion. That is absolutely fine.”

12 hours agoLatest NewsComments Off on Your car could be towed away by council and sold off at auction under new plan – if you make one of these easy mistakes
UP to 150 cars could be seized and sold by the council every year under a new plan.
From April next year, Slough Borough Council in Berkshire will tow away cars with three or more unpaid parking tickets.
Drivers who have ignored three or more parking tickets will have their cars towed[/caption]
They are also allowed to remove cars that are causing an obstruction or pose a hazard.
The owners of the vehicles will be ordered to pay to recover their car, and if they fail to do so they will be sold at auction.
Paul Kelly, the council’s lead member for housing, highways, planning and transport believes the new scheme will raise £165,000 every year.
Around £150,000 of that will go towards running the scheme which was inspired by policies in London and the South East.
Pat Hayes, the council’s senior officer in charge of roads said: “You’ll have heard about difficulties getting refuse vehicles and fire engines to places in the borough,” he said.
“It’s good news in terms of keeping traffic moving, it’s good news in terms of safety and it’s good news in terms of parking fine recovery.”
Those using fake blue disabled parking badges could also be stung by the new rule.
Caravans, trailers and abandoned vehicles could also be towed.
This comes as drivers paid a record £620million in council parking fines last year.
And more than 1,000 tickets are dished out every hour.
With an averagepenalty fee of £60, the stats indicate more than ten million tickets were issued.
The 2023/24 total is a six per cent rise on the previous year.
Lambeth Council in South London had the highest revenue with £52.4million.
Brighton & Hove had the highest for a non-London council with £12.2million.
But the true total will be much higher as 42 of the 377 local authorities submitted their numbers too late to be included in the official analysis.
Cllr Adam Hug, transport spokesperson for the Local Government Association, said: “Motorists can avoid fines by ensuring they observe parking and traffic rules that are only there to help all drivers get around and find parking safely, smoothly and fairly.
“Money raised from fines and on-street charges is used for running parking services, with any surplus spent on essential transport improvements, including fixing the £16.3 billion road repairs backlog, reducing congestion, tackling poor air quality and supporting local bus services.
“Beyond this, any surplus also contributes towards vital services such as cleaning our streets and improving them so they are fit for the future.
“If any motorist believes they have been fined unfairly, then they have the right to appeal against it.”

“UTTERLY crackers” parking charges have driven shoppers away from high streets over the festive break, the AA has said.
Up to £26 for just a few hours is charged at city shopping centres across the country, its analysis reveals.
The AA insisted these shocking fees, partly designed to encourage drivers to use Park and Ride and leave their cars on the outskirts, have hit retailers hard during the crucial festive shopping period.
Spokesman Luke Bosdet told The Sun: “In too many towns, parking costs aren’t just bonkers — they’re utterly crackers.
“The AA understands the need to encourage commuters and tourists to park on the outskirts to reduce pollution and congestion.
“Park and ride works very well in reducing inner city travel costs and hassle.
“But doing it on major shopping days doesn’t make sense. Retailers, for whom Christmas trade can be make or break, need support not having the carpet pulled from under them.
“A tenner for four to five hours parking, giving shoppers a chance to sit down and taste the Christmas fare, is a stretch in current times. But £15, £20, £25, what are councils and private operators thinking?
“The Government says it wants to rejuvenate town centres. The cost of shoppers’ parking is one of the places to start.”
The research found Cambridge’s Grand Arcade charges up to £26.40 for five hours.
Liverpool ONE costs £16.50 and Manchester’s Arndale Centre is £15.60.
A government spokesman said: “We will set out details on a private parking code of practice as soon as possible.”
