In dealing with trafficking at close quarters a lot of things occur.
There’s a reaction by those who do it that’s vile and also violent at times. The fact is police and law enforcement deal with this threat daily.
The other reality is the disaster they cause.
A trafficker is not a flight attendant for a nice journey or an air traffic controller who makes it ordered. He or she is a criminal who only knows the worst methods of how to do something bad.
He or she is not friendly.
They are an aggressor against society and our civilised way of life.
The threat at our shores – particularly first at Dover but also the length of it later on – is a tale that fits our history as an island nation. It doesn’t make sense because it isn’t France, German Nazi’s, or Spanish galleons this time.
It’s more akin to a transatlantic slave trade and yet it’s here – right there on our coast. It has to be fought off by our Border Force because its methods are medieval and its perpetrator’s are bad people.
