People crossing the Channel in small boats is an issue at once human, moral, practical, political and diplomatic.

More people are cramming on to poorer quality boats with weak engines and are willing to travel in dangerous conditions.
It appears this could be a horrendous unintended consequence of attempts to smash criminal networks.
