The UK wants to ‘stop the boats’. Where will asylum seekers go?

The government acknowledges the ‘stop the boats’ migration bill may not be legal. Nearly 46,000 refugees and migrants arrived in the United Kingdom last year on small boats across the English Channel, a major increase from the year before. Even Sunak’s Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, has acknowledged the plan may not be compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights.
