In a stark escalation of the UK's Channel migrant crisis, far-right vigilantes linked to Tommy Robinson have reportedly devised 'Operation Overlord' — a plan to sabotage small boats on French beaches. The development comes amid a record 42,000 crossings in 2025 and an estimated £5.4 billion in taxpayer costs for asylum accommodation.
Anti-migrant demonstrations have intensified, with Raise the Colours activists — hailed as heroes by supporters — filming confrontations in Paris and Gravelines. Their actions are fuelling renewed debate over illegal immigration, border security and the government's response to the ongoing crisis.
