The Doctor claimed that the migrant crisis is "Britain's own making" and agreed with comments from the French Interior Minister who said the "soft touch" rules are to blame.

In a major rant on GB News, she said: "The French Interior Minister said that the migrant crisis wasn't down to the increasingly ruthless smuggling gangs, but was a problem of Britain's own making.

"I agree with him, he said that the lure of Britain's loosely regulated job market was acting as an economic magnet for migrants who knew that if they could just make it across that last stretch of water, they could work unregulated in this country, even when they don't have the right papers.

"I would go further than that actually. Migrants sit in awful camps in Calais, in tents, they know that once they make it into a boat onto the water, they're going to be picked up by the Royal Navy, the RNLI, and they're going to be escorted gracefully to the UK where they then will be transported to their warm ensuite hotel room.

"They'll be given food, money, bicycles, travel cards and healthcare and legal representation."

Continuing her uninterrupted rant, she said: "They also know that they can just disappear off at any point and work in the black economy. Why wouldn't they come?

"Even if they are in the tiny minority that appeal their deportation when they get processed three times so eventually the chances of them actually going is down to about 10 per cent.

"Even if they are one of that 10 per cent and they eventually fill the Home Office on their collar, they disappear off into the ether. They work on the black market, they form relationships, they have children.

"So when they do get picked up again, they can then look to the ECHR to protect their right to a family life in the UK. So yes, it's definitely our fault.

Small boat crossings from France have continued in 2024.

She claimed that it is "too easy"

"We make it too easy, too comfy and they know it across. This is what they're being told they will arrive in Dover, they will be fingerprinted and I do as far as they can because of course they dump their documents.

"They would be driven in a comfy coach still, but this time to a locked detention centre where they get 3 meals a day.

"They're still warm, they still get health care but they don't need pocket money, they don't need bicycles, they don't need travel cards.

"We would then process them and when they get a no, eventually they'll be then transported to the country that they should be in. That's my solution."

This comes as last week France's interior minister claimed Britain’s "soft-touch" rules for illegal migrants are to blame for the people who died in a small boat disaster.

A pregnant woman and six children were among those who lost their lives when their boat was "ripped apart" and sank off the northern French coast of Cap Gris-Nez last week.

Dozens of migrants continued to make the journey on Wednesday, with more people pictured being brought ashore in Dover, Kent, amid calm weather conditions at sea.
