Channel crossings soar to 1,300 in weekend of chaos as Border Force braces for hundreds more in coming days
GB News ^ | October 5, 2026 | Mark White

The number illegal immigrants who have crossed the English Channel since Friday has now reached 1,300, GB News can exclusively reveal.

Today alone, 600 made the crossing in multiple boats.

Another migrant dinghy is still en route, and authorities in the UK and France are preparing for hundreds more to cross tomorrow.

It is an astonishing surge in migrant crossings over such a short period, at a time of year when the number of illegal dinghy crossings would normally slow down significantly.

A total of 91 illegals arrived on Friday.

That was followed by 164 on Saturday and a further 418 on Sunday.

Sunday's total included 146 migrants who arrived in UK waters near the Isle of Wight after setting off in a mega dinghy in western Normandy.

Their arrival into Gosport in Hampshire sparked hundreds of angry protesters to attempt to block roads in and around the port last night.

Today alone, 600 illegal migrants have crossed into UK waters.

Another dinghy load of at least 60 others is still in French waters heading towards the UK.

Shoot them all. They are not migrants, they are invaders.

The Brits are going to be sorry they so gleefully disarmed themselves.

“ We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

UNLESS THEYRE ILLEGAL ALIENS. Then we’ll welcome them and put them up in luxury hotels.

🚨We are now in a place where a whole town gets locked down by the Government for a boat that has not arrived….

Gosport. Haslar Bridge shut. Coaches at Fort Blockhouse. Masks banned.

A dispersal order on the entire town until 7am Tuesday.

Anyone who wants to stand there is sent to a car park. If not you’re threatened with arrest..

The boat is still in French waters.

The government will not even say this is the landing. Last time, they took the people to Dover.

... Border Force braces for hundreds more in coming days.

I understand why the Border Forces are bracing themselves. It must be very exhausting and stressful to have to inventory and distribute all of those welcome baskets to each of the illegals coming ashore.

What Border Force?


Who else will be there to provide the ‘newcomers’ with blankets, phones, clothing, food vouchers, and directions to free housing in villages where the locals will be outnumbered?

Oh, yes, and pamphlets saying that rape is strongly discouraged and can result in difficulties in their paperwork.

Is it too late for a revolution and a public hanging of their gutless politicians and bureaucrats?

Bill O’Reilly had a special on News Nation, I believe it was, this past weekend concerning what is going on in the UK with the muzzies. It was one hour long. The UK is gone. It has 2% chance of coming back. We are racing in that direction in many states and areas.

There was a time than England had a navy that would know exactly how to deal with this situation. The problem is that this is happening because England's leadership WANTS this to happen.

Forget the chaos...

Take the new Boat People to the English Channel Tunnel Station.

Put them on a train.

Send them straight back to France!
