Burnham promised to fight migrant crossings across the English Channel

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said that the country's authorities will continue to toughen the fight against illegal migration through the English Channel. The Times newspaper writes about this on August 2.

Andy Burnham promises to be "relentless" in the fight against small boat crossings.

At the same time, Burnham announced his intention to provide safer routes.

According to the British newspaper The Guardian, 14,526 people have already entered the UK this year.

All about one thing: mass protests against migration policy broke out in Britain

The reason was a video of a migrant attacking a Belfast resident.

As British Interior Minister Shabana Mahmoud pointed out on June 29, the government announced that those who have received asylum in the country will have to return about 10 thousand pounds for accommodation and maintenance after starting work. Adult migrants with refugee status or indefinite residence permit will have to pay this amount gradually before they can apply for a permanent residence permit.

Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and special presidential envoy for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, said on July 12 that Britain had become a "fallen empire" due to the migration crisis.
