Background
The UK has seen the Dover Crossings crisis since 2018 when official records began to be kept. The situation has rivalled most historic instances of land trespass at our national coastlines.
It hasn’t been easy to contain it. There has been a lot of disturbance amongst the public regarding the cessation of the illegal trafficking activity as a threat to our safety and wellbeing.
This is in part due to a misunderstanding of the nature of the human “cargo” and its implications for everyone. It’s not as straightforward to say it’s just a matter of seeking asylum.
Perpetrator
The nature of this incident is not understood unless it’s explained accurately and using proper terms. It sits inside the framework of maritime and industry. It is not a humanitarian concept.
The real protagonist is a suspect named “Sally” due to the exploitative nature of her activities. It’s neither safe nor legitimate to reveal her real identity. It’s considered too sensitive a topic to do so.
The known facts of her past centre on the City of London, where the impact of her conspiracy has been felt more acutely. Initially her plans brought undue scepticism onto City regulators.
Argument
Sally was found to have worked in a variety of roles before finally hatching her plan to achieve elite status in Merchant circles. Her plan had been to use media and research roles toward her public profile.
A number of sources based in the City have described her character. They conveyed fears of over-activity, deceptive mindedness, and a nature too difficult to handle. It makes it all the more troubling.
Plan
Sally had conveyed her thoughts across a private chat to a contact she did not know in person. It’s believed she lulled herself into a false sense of security. It’s not clear how or when she made first contact.
In the years after her plot was put down at the Southern coastline, principally at Dover, but also at other “Stations” along it. It was purposed to make sure the crossings were resilient to possible disruptions.
Sally had made plans with her “Contact” to build arguments to convey guilt onto dock workers in different parts of the UK. It was meant to play into her goal to be sought for advice due to her contacts list.
Threat
The sort of people Sally knew meant the exercise could go ahead without involvement from her on site. It’s believed she had “insider” knowledge into shipping, logistics, and manifest logs to make it possible.
The disruption it has caused to global security services is serious. It now counts – alongside ecological changes, terrorism, and civil conflict – as a health and safety event for those not directly involved in it.
