Migrant sent to France under ‘one-in, one-out’ scheme comes back on small boat | Politics | News

A Channel migrant deported to France has travelled back to the UK on a small boat.
Sir Keir Starmer’s one-in-one-out deal with Emmanuel Macron descended even further into farce after the failed asylum seeker made a mockery of Britain’s borders.
The man, who has not been named, said: โIf I had felt that France was safe for me I would never have returned to the UK.
“When we were returned to France we were taken to a shelter in Paris.ย I didnโt dare to go out because I was afraid for my life. The smugglers are very dangerous. They always carry weapons and knives. I fell into the trap of a human trafficking network in the forests of France before I crossed to the UK from France the first time.
โThey took me like a worthless object, forced me to work, abused me, and threatened me with a gun and told me I would be killed if I made the slightest protest.
โEvery day and every night I was filled with terror and stress. Every day I live in fear and anxiety, every loud noise, every shadow, every strange face scares me.
โWhen I reached UK the first time and Home Office asked what had happened to me I was crying and couldnโt speak about this because of shame.โ
