200,000 small boat arrivals loom amid UK raising threat level to ‘severe’ following recent terror attack
The migrant boat crossings began in 2018; Nigel Farage warns many crossing are 'unidentified, young males of fighting age'

As the United Kingdom raised its national terror threat level to "severe," meaning an attack is considered "highly likely," security experts are warning that Britain’s separate illegal migration crisis is adding to broader concerns over border control and vetting, with small boat crossings now nearing 200,000 arrivals since 2018.

The U.K.’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Center raised the national threat level from "substantial" to "severe" last week following a stabbing attack in Golders Green in North London, warning that the broader Islamist and extreme right-wing terror threat in Britain has been increasing "for some time."

At the same time, official figures cited by GB News and The Sun show small boat arrivals across the English Channel are approaching the 200,000 mark, intensifying political debate over illegal immigration, deportations and national security.

Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK Party, said in a Facebook video Tuesday that "most of them are unidentified, young males of fighting age" and warned the crossings pose "a risk not only to women and girls in this country but a risk to our national security."

Security analysts say the combination of elevated terror concerns and mass illegal migration is adding pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government to demonstrate greater control over Britain’s borders.

"Channel migrants pose a potential security threat," Dr. Michael McManus, director of research at the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital.

"Minimal vetting of the migrants means we have no way to know who is really coming to the country. The vast majority are combat-aged males from war zones and regions associated with terrorism."

Gee. Sounds like our southern border under Biden.

Is this a global game plan and who is pulling the strings?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They don't need women. GB has plenty of sheep.

This is an invading army. There's no other way to put it.

If the Brits can't do what must be done to stop them (and you know what MUST be done if the invasion is to be "stopped"), they will fall as a nation. And soon.

Looks like a different bathtub navy is working against the Brits this time.

And if the sheep refuse they can hunt down local teen girls and rape them.

In a Europe of the UK, France, Sweden, et al., be a Slovenia.

In Slovenia they have very clear ideas about this.
