Original Note:
https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-is-it-illegal-to-cross-the-channel-on-a-small-boat# The Channel 4 fact check clearly states that the issue is complex and arriving in the UK without a visa or leave to do so is illegal. Only by claiming asylum, on arrival, and it being granted are you free from threat of prosecution. Few illegal entrants are ever prosecuted.
