Security fears raised as group of 30 migrants climb off boat and are ‘bussed into Britain after only basic checks’ 

• The migrants had been picked up by RNLI crew from a traffickers’ rubber dinghy

A group of unidentified men arrived on a South Coast beach next to a nuclear power station, before being bussed into Britain with few questions asked.

Video footage obtained by the Mail reveals the disturbing lack of security at our sea borders during the current high alert for terror attacks in Europe and Britain.

The group of 30 migrants clambered off a charity lifeboat last week, three days after the Hamas atrocities in Israel.

They had just been picked up in the English Channel by RNLI crew from a traffickers’ rubber dinghy which had set off earlier that day from France.

Yet they were asked no questions about why they had come to the UK or their names or nationalities before they were ushered into the country.

After walking from the lifeboat up the steep beach, they were told by a handful of officers from the Border Force and a private Home Office security firm to sit down beside a wall of the Dungeness lifeboat house. 

The officers said anyone carrying knives, scissors, razors or cigarette lighters should hand them over.

A number then placed the items in a clear plastic bag. The migrants were given wristbands with two numbers on. 

The first denoted which rubber boat they had arrived on that day and the second a personal number.

None of them were searched or even a patted down. They were not asked to hand over their mobile phones or for their identities.

Some gave peace signs as they passed our camera crew walking towards a bus – with a driver and several of the border staff on board

They were among 162 individuals on three traffickers’ boats coming into Kent that day, government figures show

There were no police to stop an escape by the young men, although the beach is next to Dungeness nuclear power station.

The person taking the video later handed to the Mail said: ‘They could have escaped, simply disappeared. Normally there are armed police watching migrants on RNLI boats into Dungeness because of the power station nearby.’

This year more than 25,000 migrants have arrived by traffickers’ boats over the Channel. The Home Office has been approached for comment.
