(Sky News) The behaviour of people arriving in the UK on small boats is “at odds with British values,” the home secretary has claimed.
Speaking exclusively to Sky News, Suella Braverman said people making the dangerous Channel crossing — who include asylum seekers — were “behaving unacceptably” by “breaking our rules” and “abusing the generosity of the British people.”
But she also claimed criminality was “very closely linked” to their arrival, telling our political correspondent Ali Fortescue: “We see that there are many people coming here illegally who are then getting involved in drugs, who are getting involved in violent crime, who are getting involved in prostitution.
“All of that is at odds with British values, all of that is unacceptable behaviour.”
