Nobody is disputing that people cross the channel - but the fact the number is not zero doesn’t prove the absence of a right wing agenda around the subject.

I think it’s the express today saying “£40 a week, free mobiles and a free stay in a 4 star hotel while your case is pending”. It doesn’t mention that you are basically a prisoner in the hotel and £40 a week doesn’t go far, but that’s incidental to their narrative. As appealing as it sounds I don’t think people travel halfway round the world (and risk death) for it.
