ITV News published this video item, entitled “ITV News investigation finds people smugglers advertising on Facebook pages | ITV News” – below is their description.
Already this year, more than five hundred people are known to have crossed the Channel in inflatable boats.
That is almost double the number this time last year. On Saturday 87 arrived – the largest figure of the year.
So an appropriate moment perhaps for the government to announce what the Prime Minister called an absolutely ruthless crackdown on the smuggling gangs, many of whom are still using social media to reach desperate migrants.
Now the people smugglers face the possibility of life in jail.
