A small boat has crossed the English Channel carrying 230 people, the largest number to make the journey in a single vessel. A Home Office spokesperson said this latest incident demonstrated the "reckless and dangerous tactics employed by criminal gangs... who continue to put lives at risk by cramming ever greater numbers of people onto unseaworthy vessels". French rescuers said the 15m (49ft) boat was "buckling" in the water and could have led to a "tragedy". #France #UK #Migrants #EnglishChannel #News #BBCNews
