Winston Marshall suggests mined floating wall across English Channel on Fox News

Winston Marshall, son of GB News co-owner Paul Marshall and former Mumford & Sons member turned rightwing influencer, appeared on Fox News to propose building a mined "floating wall" across the English Channel to stop small boat crossings. The proposal came during discussion of a new £660m UK-France deal to tackle crossings, which Marshall said made him "pretty angry". He claimed the idea might sound "ridiculous" but should be explored after £1bn spent over six years on deterrence. The Dover Strait is the world's busiest shipping lane.

Winston Marshall proposes mined 'floating wall' across English Channel to stop small boat crossings

Winston Marshall, son of Spectator owner Paul Marshall and former Mumford & Sons member turned rightwing influencer, has suggested Britain build a mined 'floating wall' across the English Channel to stop small boat crossings. Speaking on Fox News, he said the idea 'might sound ridiculous' but should be explored after £1bn spent over six years on deterrence failed. The proposal comes amid a new £660m UK-France deal to tackle Channel crossings, which Marshall said made him 'pretty angry'. He claimed migrants are 'military aged men' who are 'economic migrants' not refugees.
