‘Hundreds each day’: Alarm raised over migration routes fuelling radicalisation fears
Former New Scotland Yard Detective Laura Pond warns Britain is facing multiple migration pathways, with concerns some arrivals come from regions plagued by conflict and extremist ideologies. “We’ve got it coming from a number of fronts,” Ms Pond told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “We’ve obviously got the small boats coming across the channel. Hundreds each day. We have a route through the Republic of Ireland into Northern Ireland, which often leads to the mainland. “Many of them are from war-torn countries, from countries that have been radicalised; they have got some extreme views. “Some with the intention to do things, some just vulnerable to that sort of radicalisation.”
