Rejected petition Call in the military!

We have seen the boats arriving at our borders.
An Ex-Chief Immigration Officer has urged that the military should be brought in to manage the crisis in the Channel.

More details

It comes as retired immigration official Kevin Saunders told GB News that the military should be called in because Border Force is just 'operating a collection service from the Channel'.

He said: 'We've got to do something. I think probably we've now reached the point where we need to bring the military in to help us. All really Border Force are doing is operating a collection service from the Channel. We need to stop these people".
