Channel smugglers are launching small boats from Belgium for the first time as growing pressure on their operations by French police forces them further along the coast.
Boats are being launched more than 60 miles from England, before travelling along the Belgian and French coastlines to collect migrants in so-called “taxi” operations.
Towns as distant as De Haan, near Bruges, have been used as launch sites for the dinghies, which then motor along the coast for up to four hours before collecting migrants in France, analysis of vessel tracking data by The Times has found.
It comes as Britain tries to renegotiate a funding deal to contribute to the costs of policing the French coastline.

Should have just let the Germans have Belgium back in 1914.
Don’t those things sink?
It’s hard for me to believe the Brits just stand around and let this happen.
Blow a few of them out of the water and it’ll stop fast.
No argument there.
But you know that’s exactly what it would take to stop this madness. They need to be met at the Waters edge with fire power and force. They have no fear of retaliation and they’re coming here to replace the white European race.
And the European governments are facilitating it.
