GB News viewers were left furious after a heated debate on illegal migrant crossings in the English Channel sparked major controversy. Presenters Stephen Dixon and Ellie Costello led the discussion following claims that French authorities shadowed a group of migrants to the middle of the Channel before radioing UK Border Force to pick them up and bring them to Dover. According to GB News, 1,300 people have crossed illegally in the past five days alone.
To discuss the issue, commentators Alex Armstrong and Scarlette MccGwire joined the panel, and it didn’t take long for things to get fiery. Scarlette questioned why migrants were so desperate to reach Britain, saying, “Many of them have already come across the Mediterranean. I do not understand why they’re so keen to come to Britain.”
