Criminals Smuggling Migrants to Britain for as Little as £112

With weather conditions worsening, criminal people-smuggling gangs are offering to help illegal migrants reach the UK for as little as £112.

Supposedly, “guaranteed” journeys are substantially more expensive, running at around £6,900 reports the Daily Express. Migrants infiltrating the UK by sea can pay even more, with a group of Albanians picked up by the Coastguard reported to have paid around £8,000 per head.

Border security experts have recently raised concerns that Britain’s small ports and harbours are wide open to Islamic State and other terrorist outfits, with a judge having branded the country’s small airfields “defenceless” as well.
