Concerns raised about UK maritime borders after 18 Albanians rescued off coast

Concerns have been raised that Britain's Border Force does not have the resources to sufficiently monitor its maritime borders after 18 people including two children were rescued from a sinking boat in the English channel.

Two British men have appeared in court charged with people smuggling after the group of Albanians were rescued by the UK coastguard on Saturday.   The incident has sparked concern this could indicate a new route for people smuggling into Europe as Britain's 7 thousand miles of coastline is not routinely policed. 

Former naval officer, Rear Admiral Chris Parry told LBC radio he's concerned the UK's borders are a weak point for illegal immigration.
