Downing Street said on Tuesday the situation was "deteriorating."Although the French authorities claim they're now intercepting more than two-thirds of those boats before they reach the sea, the smugglers are now changing tactics to launch so-called "taxi boats" from new sites, in new ways, and with ever greater speed.Instead of inflating their boats in the dunes along the coast, close to police patrols, the gangs are launching them from better-hidden locations, often dozens of kilometers from the main departure beaches.They then cruise...
