Mega dinghy carries record 165 migrants to UK - BBC

Latest News About Record sized English Channel crossing

A small boat carrying a record setting group of migrants arrived in the UK on Friday, setting a new mark for the most crowded migrant crossing of the narrow sea route. The vessel landed at an remote section of Kent shore. No deaths or coastguard calls were recorded. Immigration officers intercepted the group later. The Home Office had no immediate statement. Other dispatches confirm the arrival through reliable channels. Previous records stood at reduced counts, though incidents keep happening. Earlier this month, new incoming premier Burnham faced his first migrant incidents since taking office. Authorities held back on revealing nationality of those aboard.
