вЂњIt is clear that, in this aspect, we have lost control.вЂќ вЂњAt the referendum, us Brexiteers told the people that we would take back control,вЂќ Edward Leigh, a senior Conservative Member of Parliament, reminded the House of Commons last week. (Three people, who attempted the passage in kayaks, went missing and have not been found.) The daily flotillas have caused a crisis for Boris JohnsonвЂ™s Brexit-inspired government, which was elected with a large majority in part because it offered a fantasy of an island-bound future, removed from such things.

On November 12th, eleven hundred and eighty-five people made the crossing-the current record for a single day. In the first eleven months of this year, the total has exceeded twenty-five thousand. In 2020, that number rose to eight thousand four hundred and seventeen. In 2019, fewer than two thousand people had made the voyage. The number-and desperation-of people willing to risk their lives to reach Britain in this way has increased sharply in a short space of time.

Last week, the top deck of the bus was half full of passengers with purple blankets round their shoulders, shielding their eyes from the low sun.

A red double-decker bus is parked permanently at the Tug Haven, to provide extra seating. One night in July, officials placed a six-thousand-pound order at a local DominoвЂ™s to feed hundreds of people who were forced to spend the night. The tent has narrow wooden benches for seating and no running water.

Independent inspectors have described the site, which is called the Tug Haven, as вЂњa facility struggling to cope and fundamentally unsuitable for holding detainees for anything in excess of a few hours.вЂќ Delays frequently occur. Many were still being processed-undergoing COVID tests, having their fingerprints taken, being given dry clothes while their possessions were taken away and placed in clear plastic sacks-in a large white exhibition tent, erected in a parking lot. On the day of the disaster, more than six hundred people had made it across. Around ninety-eight per cent claim asylum on arrival. When the вЂњsmall boats,вЂќ as they are euphemistically known, are intercepted on the English side of the Channel, or if they make it all the way to the shore, the passengers are picked up and taken to two facilities there, in the harbor docks. I travelled to Dover the morning after the sinking. вЂњWe know that the means available for sea rescue are inadequate.вЂќ вЂњIt had to happen, and it happened,вЂќ Alain Ledaguenel, the head of DunkirkвЂ™s lifeboat service, said.

It was the worst maritime disaster in the English Channel since the sinking of the Herald of Free Enterprise, a car ferry, off Zeebrugge, in 1987, in which a hundred and ninety-three people drowned. By nightfall, twenty-seven bodies had been recovered, including those of seven women and three children. A person in the water will lose consciousness in around an hour. The temperature of the English Channel in late November is about eight degrees Celsius. The French Interior Minister, GГ©rald Darmanin, later said that the craft was obviously unseaworthy, вЂњlike a pool that you blow up in your garden.вЂќ At around 2 P.M., fishermen on a passing trawler came across bodies in the sea. On November 24th, a rubber boat like AdamвЂ™s got into difficulties soon after leaving the French coast, near Dunkirk. вЂњThey came and said, вЂGo back to your country. While they were waiting to be rescued, a fishing trawler circled the dinghy three times, and a man shouted at them in English. вЂњWe will be under the sea.вЂќ A patrol vessel reached them in an hour. вЂњShe told me, вЂO.K., give us two hours,вЂ™В вЂќ Adam recalled. He called the British Coast Guard from his cell phone and gave them the boatвЂ™s location. вЂњWater started to enter our boat.вЂќ According to Adam, there were forty-eight people on his dinghy, including women and young children. вЂњAfter five hours, the floating boat stopped working,вЂќ a Middle Eastern man who recently made the crossing, and whom I will call Adam, said. And on these days, inflatable rubber boats-gray or black, sometimes as many as a few dozen-have set off from the wide, sandy beaches of northern France and chanced a course through the shipping lanes of the English Channel, seeking to bring migrants and refugees to the shores of Britain. Every few days, the autumnal murk has been punctured by skies of frigid, high-blue brilliance. It has been a cold, calm November in southern England.
