Far-right activist Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, has been condemned by charities after footage emerged showing him using a blade to slash a dinghy in the Channel. The video, which Thomas filmed himself, shows him tracking two inflatable boats carrying migrants across the English Channel before approaching one and damaging it.
According to reports, a rescue worker was onboard the dinghy at the time of the incident. The footage has sparked outrage among humanitarian organisations, who described the action as 'disgusting' and dangerous. The incident adds to tensions surrounding small boat crossings in the Channel, a route frequently used by migrants seeking asylum in the UK.
Charities have warned that such actions could put lives at risk, as the waters of the Channel are among the busiest and most perilous in the world. The UK government has not yet issued a formal response to the video. Authorities are reportedly investigating the incident.
This event highlights the ongoing debate over migration policy and the treatment of asylum seekers. Far-right groups have increasingly targeted migrant boats, while humanitarian groups continue to call for safe and legal routes for those seeking protection.
