When the explosion in numbers crossing the Channel illegally began last year, there was a total media blackout on the issue.
I made it my purpose, again and again, to head to Dover and film the boats coming across, exposing the fact that UK Border Force and the RNLI had now become a taxi service.
They were literally helping the dangerous criminal gangs to get their human cargo safely into the UK.
More outrageous still was when I exposed that the French Navy escort the dinghies through French waters and into British ones, dropping them off for collection by our authorities.
In 2020, 8,400 people were taken into the processing center in Dover, and they have now been placed in four-star hotels and private accommodation across the country.
My videos on this subject received more than 25 million views and I was pleased to have made a contribution in exposing the unvarnished truth.
But one year later, the problem has not gone away. So far in 2021 the numbers coming are more than double the rate of last year. If numbers by the Migration Watch think tank are correct, it now looks as though we are on course for 20,000 people coming through that centre this year.
