Traffickers chose Remembrance Sunday to resume the dangerous channel crossings of small boats packed with illegal migrants.
After 11 days of calm weather with no arrivals, the flotilla of rubber vessels from France started again soon after 1am this morning One recording from on board a Border Force vessel was made at around 11am, with a radio in the background playing the sounds of the Cenotaph ceremony. 'It is sad to see this,' said a Dungeness-based boatman who sent the recordings. 'Border Force continued pick up migrants from the French as if the two minute silence did not exist.'
