Were they natives or imports?
As usual, the media conceals all info re: the perpetrators. It’s non-urban England, so the kids may well have been white . . . white trash. Lower-class whites in England are almost indistinguishable from lower-class blacks here in the U.S.
I’d say imports.
My first thought as well. All the coastlines exposed to the south and east are vulnerable. There are major “refugee” encampments all around Calais, France. Also, Southhampton/Portsmouth just north of Isle of Wight is a major hub, with plenty of transportation to London and elsewhere.
