More than 1,000 migrants reached the U.K. via the English Channel during the weekend in what is believed to be a new single-day record, according to reports.
A whopping 25 boats carrying 1,065 illegal migrants successfully crossed from France to England on Sunday.
The U.K. Ministry of Defence (MoD) was quick to note that there were no “uncontrolled landings,” as most or all of the ‘asylum seekers’ completed the passage with the assistance of border authorities and activists, per usual.
Incredibly, the MoD – which is currently featuring the colors of the Ukrainian flag on its social media avatars – did not address Sunday’s influx on Twitter, but instead slammed the “illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.”
The illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is continuing.
