Making a meal
NOTHING more clearly illustrates the shambles of Britain’s broken borders.
An illegal migrant brazenly films himself and his mates climbing aboard a dinghy heading to Dover.

Smiling away, they have no fear of any consequences.
Why would they, when they are guaranteed a free hotel room and — as The Sun’s investigation has revealed — the chance to work in the lucrative black market?
Ministers have rightly hauled in the bosses of takeaway firms to give them a rocket over loopholes which allow migrants to illegally earn cash by delivering food.
We also strongly welcome yesterday’s arrests at asylum hotels, and the seizure of phones and bikes.
But cracking down on the black market by itself won’t solve the problem.
The Government — shackled by human rights laws — still doesn’t have a proper deterrent to stop these people coming in the first place.
Only a Rwanda-style deportation scheme will bring this sorry fiasco to an end.
Beeb villain
WHY wasn’t it immediately obvious to the BBC bosses in charge at Glastonbury that Bob Vylan’s vile rants were hate-filled racism?
Would they have broadcast a performer screaming anti-Muslim or far-right hate speech? Of course not.
Perhaps a clue lies in the masses of evidence of anti-Israeli institutional bias from the Beeb since the October 7 Hamas terror attacks.
The “death to the IDF” chant by Pascal Robinson-Foster — the real name of Bob Vylan’s singer — was so obviously incitement that it has triggered a police investigation.
Equally shameful was the rapper’s extended diatribe against his former Jewish record label boss.
Yet the BBC was happy to put it out live on iPlayer — where it remained for five hours.
Its apology yesterday — offering simply to “review guidelines” — didn’t go anywhere near addressing the real problem.
Unless bosses properly confront the culture of anti-Israel sentiment at the Corporation, such disgusting incidents will keep on happening.
Doctor how
FOR too long the NHS has been over-reliant on foreign medics.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting’s plan to train working-class doctors in the UK should help fix the problem, while also giving opportunities to young Brits.
It’s a small step in the right direction for an NHS in dire need of an overhaul — and top-to-bottom change.
