Home Office launches social media ads in Vietnam to deter small boat migrants | UK News

The Home Office is launching social media adverts to deter Vietnamese nationals from travelling to the UK illegally in small boats.

According to the government, an increasing number of migrants arriving illegally in the UK via the Channel are from Vietnam.

New ads, building on similar ones already used in Albania, will be written in Vietnamese and feature testimonies from people who were misled by the claims of people smuggling gangs.

One migrant, referred to as K, recalls sleeping in a camp in Calais for five nights under the supervision of armed guards before crossing the Channel in a small boat.

He says: “Never again would I risk my life in a small boat even if you bribed me.”

Another, G, says: “I was lying to my family back home. I’m still in debt.”

Someone referred to as A adds: “We still owe £5,500 for the journey.”

Provisional figures have revealed 514 migrants travelled in 10 small boats across the Channel in a single day on Wednesday.

So far this year, illegal small boat arrivals stand at 4,043 – 10% higher than at the same point in 2023.

It comes as video footage, released by the charity Lighthouse Reports, appears to show a French border force boat using aggressive tactics to physically force a migrant boat to turn around.

Debunking myths about life in the UK as an illegal migrant

The new Home Office adverts aim to debunk myths circulated by criminal gangs – both about the journey and living illegally in the UK when they arrive.

They warn that the Channel is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, so small boats often risk being hit by larger vessels.

They also say that many boats disintegrate during the journey, leaving passengers at risk of dying by drowning or of hypothermia within minutes.

On life as an illegal migrant in the UK, they say those who make the journey risk getting into debt with criminal gangs, being forced into modern slavery, and living in inhumane accommodation.

Immigration enforcement and Border Force employee testimonials are also included.

Home Secretary James Cleverly said: “This is a powerful campaign which demonstrates first-hand that life for people arriving here illegally is a far cry from the lies they have been sold by the gangs on the other side of the Channel.

“Last year, similar work contributed to a 90% reduction in small boat arrivals from Albania, and overall numbers are down by a third, but there is more to do.

“Expanding our campaign to Vietnam, another key partner in our work to tackle illegal migration, will help us to save more lives and dent the business model of the criminals who profit from this vile trade.”

Vape ads on social media ‘need to stop’ as regulator announces crackdown | UK News

Vape ads across social media platforms “need to stop” and advertisers pleading ignorance is not an excuse, the advertising regulator has warned.

The Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) – which regulates non-broadcast adverts – launched a crackdown on e-cigarette advertisers, warning the law prohibits them from marketing vapes containing nicotine that are not licensed as medicines on most social media.

It is currently illegal for retailers to sell disposable vapes to under-18s and the devices can not be displayed across almost all media or targeted at children.

Therefore, brands or retailers cannot promote them in paid-for posts or in non-paid-for posts on non-private accounts, such as on TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook.

Vape ads will be permitted online in limited spaces like company websites, provided they do not target or appeal to children. They can only contain factual claims about the products.

CAP said it had sent enforcement notices to vape manufacturers and retailers with clear rules and underlining that ignorance was not an excuse, adding it would not hesitate “to apply sanctions” against those “unwilling or unable to comply”.

Advertisers have until 28 March to fall in line with the rules.

After this, CAP said it would carry out enhanced monitoring and would take action if it found ads that were breaking the rules.

Last year, the regulator issued an enforcement notice to e-cigarette manufacturers and retailers requiring them to stop paid promotions on TikTok.

Using AI-assisted monitoring, CAP found that the companies promoting vapes or incentivising others to do so through social media were “typically small traders” who were “most likely in ignorance” of the rules and the law.

CAP secretary Shahriar Coupal said: “Our enforcement notice leaves traders in no doubt about their obligations under both and makes clear that e-cigarette promotions through social media channels need to stop.

“For those that fail to do so, we and our enforcement partners won’t hesitate to sanction them.”

The crackdown comes ahead of a spring budget in which Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is considering a “vaping products levy” which would be paid on imports and by manufacturers of vapes to make the habit unaffordable for children.

Rishi Sunak announced plans to ban disposable vapes amid concerns about their growing use among children, especially following reports of nicotine dependency in school.

The Scottish and Welsh governments will also ban single-use vapes, which is set to be introduced by the end of 2025.

Labour attack ads on Rishi Sunak not a mistake and ‘more to come’, says Wes Streeting | Politics News

Controversial Labour attack adverts targeting Rishi Sunak were not a mistake and there are more to come, a senior shadow cabinet member has told Sky News.

Wes Streeting argued it was “absolutely right to take the gloves off” and hold the government to account for its record.

The social media campaign in which the opposition accuse the prime minister of failing to send child sex abusers to prison, being soft on gun crime and suggesting thieves should not be punished, has proved divisive within the party.

One of the ads also took aim at Mr Sunak’s wife Akshata Murty and her previously held non-dom tax status.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has continued to defend the adverts despite claims of “gutter politics”.

The row comes as the two main parties jostle for position ahead of the local elections on 4 May.

His stance has been backed by the shadow health secretary, who insisted it was “perfectly reasonable to challenge a Conservative prime minister on the abysmal failure of 13 years of Conservative government”.

Speaking to the Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme, Mr Streeting was asked whether he believed Mr Sunak thought that people who had sexually assaulted children should not go to prison.

The opposition frontbencher said: “I’d like to believe that the answer is no but look at the figures – the figures speak for themselves.”

Labour cited data from the Ministry of Justice that showed 4,500 adults convicted of sex acts on children had avoided a prison sentence since the Conservatives came to power in 2010.

Mr Streeting added: “Why is he allowing this to happen?”

Referring to the claim in the advert, he said: “Well, I have to assume that he thinks that because otherwise it’s either that or incompetence, isn’t it?”

“Either he thinks it, which is bad, or he doesn’t think it but isn’t doing anything about it, which is equally bad.

“Either he’s got the wrong policies and principles or he’s just incompetent and can’t deliver and either, I think, is a problem for the prime minister of the country.

“And Labour is absolutely right to take the gloves off and hold the government to account for 13 years of appalling failure on law and order and the economy.

“In our public services, nothing is working properly.”

On whether the ad offensive was a mistake, Mr Streeting said: “I don’t think it was a mistake at all. I absolutely stand by Labour’s ads. And there’s more to come.”

Meanwhile, Conservative Party chairman Greg Hands has told Sky News the party could lose 1,000 seats at the forthcoming local elections, in comments likely to be seen as expectation management with the Tories still far behind in the opinion polls.

He pointed out such a result was being predicted by experts such as Sky News’s Professor Michael Thrasher.

Mr Hands said: “No one is pretending it is going to be easy.

“Last year was a very difficult year for the country, a difficult year for the government, a difficult year for the Conservative Party.”

But he added: “We are fighting really hard – I’ve got some great councillors, great council candidates up and down the country, I’ve been travelling up and down the country the last couple of weeks.”

Dangerous plug-in heaters promoted in fake reviews and dodgy ads fail fire safety tests | UK News

Dangerous plug-in heaters are being sold online – taking advantage of those trying to stay warm despite surging energy bills, Which? says.

Some of the products were featured in fake reviews and dodgy ads, leaving people at risk of fires or electric shocks.

Ten mini plug-in heaters – some as cheap as £12 – were tested by Which? and all of them failed safety tests. Four of them – three on eBay and one on Amazon – were a fire risk.

All of the models tested did not meet the Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations.

Rocio Concha, Which? director of policy and advocacy, said the products were illegal, could cause serious harm, and show that online platforms must do more to protect consumers.

She added: “The government must urgently legislate to strengthen product safety, including giving online marketplaces greater legal responsibility for unsafe products sold on their sites so that consumers are far better protected.

“Self-regulation of online platforms is simply not working. These platforms have put in place inadequate measures which leave consumers at risk. The government must give these platforms greater responsibility to protect people online.”

Among the problematic heaters was the Plug-In Wall Heater 500W sold by a third-party seller on eBay.

Which? said the plastic surround holding the heating element in place melted and the heating element slipped down to create another melted area, which was against the outer grill, meaning that touching it could result in shock or burns.

Several versions of this heater sold on Amazon, eBay and Wish all failed, and Trading Standards also issued a recall notice for another model sold on eBay that appeared to be identical.

An electric portable plug-in heater, sold on Amazon, had counterfeit fuses that had been used in the plug for the heater. They posed a risk of electric shock, fire or even an explosion, Which? said.

Another plug-in wall heater, sold on eBay, posed a risk of fire or electric shock, with internal wires soldered directly onto a circuit board, while another circuit board was just loose within the product.

An Amazon spokesperson said: “Safety is a top priority at Amazon and we require all products offered in our store to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

“Two products were removed in December, including one in relation to safety concerns, and we have proactively removed similar items and introduced measures to prevent new products going on sale.

“We have removed the remaining two products while we investigate. If customers have concerns about an item they’ve purchased, we encourage them to contact us directly so we can investigate and take appropriate action.”

An eBay spokesperson said: “We take the safety of our users very seriously. We had already removed three of the five listings that Which? flagged to us. One of the two remaining listings is selling a different product and the other one has already ended.

“We use block filter algorithms aimed at preventing unsafe products from being listed. These filters blocked 4.8 million listings in 2022 and are updated on a regular basis.

“On the rare occasion that an unsafe product does make it on to site, we swiftly remove it and provide product safety education to the sellers to prevent relisting.”

Wish said: “Product safety is a top priority for Wish. The listing highlighted by Which? has been removed from our European platform, and we are monitoring for any identical or similar listings. We will take further action as appropriate.”

Google was asked for comment but had not provided one.
