UK small-boat crisis persists as smugglers adapt; 'one in, one out' scheme ends

The UK's 'one in, one out' asylum scheme has ended, yet people smugglers continue to operate along the northern French coast, adapting methods to evade enforcement. Despite French police aggression and hostile UK reception, asylum seekers remain determined to cross the Channel. The development signals a policy failure and ongoing irregular migration pressure, with implications for UK-France cooperation and domestic politics.
