A migrant dinghy has been intercepted in the Channel this morning, less than a mile from landing on a Kent beach.
Multiple Border Security Command vessels and lifeboats responded to what is another apparent issue with the command-and-control systems that are meant to give French and UK authorities oversight of migrant activity in the Channel.
GB News understands that the authorities were only alerted after one of the illegal immigrants onboard the vessel used their mobile phone to call the Coastguard themselves.
The dinghy was eventually spotted in misty conditions less than a mile from the mouth of Dover Harbour, and intercepted by three Border Security Command vessels.
