Also if those boats are sufficiently ferrous to be attracted by a big magnet I wouldn't have thought they'd be buoyant enough to make the Channel crossing. Someone should tell the people-smugglers about vessels made from light, durable fibreglass or inflatable dinghies.

as someone who lives 5 minutes from that cliff, I can tell you that some of those boats appear to be coming from the middle of the Atlantic, I guess ultimately Brazil, while others are coming from Norway. The situation really is worse than we though.

The magnet makes no sense, unless they needed some method to shoehorn the colours of the Russian flag in there?

In this new age of white heat of technology Labour will invent magnets for plastic.
