Readers will be pleased to know that not only has it not 'gone away' but the taxi service for wet Africans is going from strength to strength (181,436 migrants last year - a new record) .
The service has been much improved and now they will almost pick you up from the beach which saves the danger and means you can re-cycle the inflatables.
Just because the newspapers are keeping you all excited about the latest moral panic (Trump, Goodwin Sands dredging, Brexit, the wee Krankie Woman, burgundy coloured passports causing cancer - the latter article was in the Daily Express!) does not mean the problem has gone away.
