Illegal migrant LIVE STREAMS step by step channel crossing & boasts ‘my dream was to come here' from 4 star asylum hotel
The migrant posted eight videos before taking part in a live Q&A with his followers in the Afghan dialect Pashto STOP THE BOASTS Illegal migrant LIVE STREAMS step by step channel crossing & boasts 'my dream was to come here' from 4 star asylum hotel AN ILLEGAL migrant boasted on TikTok of crossing the Channel by dinghy, saying: 'Tell your friends to come.' The man racked up nearly a million views with a step-by-step guide to crossing the Channel on a small boat — and then told others to follow him as he revelled in his taxpayer-funded asylum hotel. Advertisement 7 A migrant posted a step-by-step guide to crossing the Channel on a small boat Credit: Tiktok 7 Alexandra420, pictured above in a life-jacket, smirks in a video from the dinghy 7 The smug migrant shows TikTok fans his view from the window of his asylum hotel Credit: Tiktok 7 He also took part in a live Q&A with his followers Known as Alexandra420, he said his wish had come true and that this was 'the best place' during a TikTok livestream at his free accommodation near Heathrow. His taunts come as figures reveal 50,271 people have crossed in a small boat since Labour and Sir Keir Starmer took office last year. Last night Reform leader Nigel Farage MP told The Sun: 'This is yet another total humiliation for our country. "The Prime Minister's soft-touch approach and refusal to address the root cause of illegal Channel crossings has turned the UK into a global laughing stock.' Advertisement READ MORE ON ILLEGAL MIGRANTS SEA CHANGE How Med island once swamped by illegal migrants has seen arrivals shrink to ZERO TikTok influencer Alexandra, who has 70,000 followers, left Calais in a dinghy at around 4am on Saturday. His first video was a 13-second clip from the middle of the Channel, showing a French lifeboat alongside his dinghy, which was full of fellow migrants. The next clip showed him grinning in an orange life jacket and pointing to the sky. A third video, bizarrely set to the theme tune of US TV drama Prison Break, showed the vessel surrounded by massive freight ships, while in a fourth he dipped his designer trainers in the water. Advertisement He was one of 435 arrivals on Saturday, and was taken in by Border Force officials to be processed at Manston, Kent. He was then bussed to the four-star Crowne Plaza hotel in West Drayton, near Heathrow. The migrant, thought to be from Afghanistan, treats TikTok viewers to a tour of his room, which had two single beds and a double plus an en-suite bathroom. He also shows them the view from his window. Small boat crossings under Labour are on brink of hitting 50,000 - one illegal migrant every 11 mins since the election Triumphing in his good fortune, he said: 'This is dedicated to those haters who were happy thinking we either drowned or ended up dead.' In a later livestream he claimed their boat began to deflate halfway through the crossing and could have capsized if Border Force officials had not rescued them. Advertisement He said: 'It was dangerous. Our boat sank. It was punctured. The water came from the inside of the boat. "On the other side, three people pumped the water. If the British boats hadn't come in an hour, we would have been in trouble.' Those who want to come, this is the best place TikTok influencer Alexandra He then encouraged others to pay thousands to people-smugglers to make the same perilous journey. He ranted: 'I risked my life, I spent my money, I came. Your country is not your mother. Advertisement "Those who want to come, this is the best place. Don't be stingy. Your country is not your father, that you are so stingy. Live your life. 'Tell your four friends to come. Why are you so stingy? Being stingy is not good for God. You see, I risked my life! Why don't you come? My wish was to come to this hotel and live. I came here just for this.' 7 Fellow illegal migrants can be seen in the boat in another clip 7 The migrant's room has two single beds, a double and an en-suite Credit: Tiktok Advertisement He also revealed how he beat warnings of deportation, claiming he had been told by UK officials: 'If I send you to France, you won't have any problem.' But he replied: 'I will commit suicide.' He went on: 'I just said it, and he got angry. I told them, and right there, I swore an oath.' Spinning on his chair with his arms in the air, he then shouted: 'Welcome to London!' It's disgraceful that illegal immigrants are saying it's their dream to be put up in a hotel Chris Philp In total, the migrant posted eight videos before taking part in a live Q&A with his followers in the Afghan dialect Pashto. Advertisement His viewers appeared to include other asylum seekers in different hotels across the country. One told the host, who flashed his purple room key card, that the Crowne Plaza was 'a nice place'. The videos had a combined 870,000 views before being taken down during a second livestream when The Sun alerted TikTok. 7 The Heathrow Crowne Plaza has been housing migrants for more than four years, and has an 8ft security fence Credit: Dan Charity Advertisement Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp blasted: 'It is disgraceful that illegal immigrants are saying it is their dream to be put up in a hotel, all paid for by the British taxpayer. 'This is a sick joke. Anyone coming to the UK illegally must be swiftly deported.' Dozens of migrants have made social media posts celebrating their arrival in the UK. The Heathrow Crowne Plaza used to cost guests £120 a night — but has been housing migrants for more than four years, and has an 8ft security fence. Advertisement Facilities include a luxury swimming pool with steam room and sauna, gym, an Irish bar, two large restaurants and a theatre. More illegal arrivals were brought in on packed buses yesterday alongside vans delivering food. One Afghan man told The Sun: 'I came to Britain a few days ago on a boat from France. This hotel is nice and we get fed and given clothes. Life is nice here so far.' A TikTok spokeswoman said it has a zero-tolerance approach to content promoting people-smuggling. Advertisement A Home Office spokeswoman said it is unacceptable 'to promote the criminal services of people-traffickers or for social media companies to allow it'. Laws are being brought in to make it easier to prosecute, she added.

Moment Nicola Sturgeon gets ‘midlife crisis' tattoo amid launch of new book
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the moment Nicola Sturgeon got her "midlife crisis" tattoo ahead of the launch of her new book. The former First Minister got her first ever ink aged 55 at a store in Glasgow city centre. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Nicola Sturgeon got her first tattoo aged 55 Credit: Instagram/@kurtmcgonigle 5 A video of her being inked was posted online Credit: Instagram/@kurtmcgonigle 5 She revealed the tattoo in an ITV interview ahead of her book hitting shelves Credit: PA Ms Sturgeon got the 'infinity arrow' body art at Paradise Tattoo on Hope Street. A video of her getting inked was shared by the artist Kurt McGonigle, who said it was an "honour to tattoo the former First Minister." The ex-SNP chief opened up about her new tattoo in an ITV News interview ahead of the release of her memoir Frankly - which hit the shelves early on Monday. In the sit-down chat with Julie Etchingham, Ms Sturgeon rolled up her sleeve and showed off her new arm decal, saying: "Midlife crisis alert." She even revealed the meaning behind her new ink. Ms Sturgeon said: "It's kind of an infinity symbol with an arrow. "What it signifies to me is strength, resilience and continuing to move forward even when it feels impossible." The TV interview and her book are packed full of a number of bombshell revelations. She revealed she still misses her former mentor turned political enemy Alex Salmond - who died last year aged 69 - and added she was hit with a wave of grief when she heard about his death. Ms Sturgeon said: "Even today I still miss him in some way, the person that I used to know and the relationship we used to have." Five of the biggest BOMBSHELL moments from Nicola Sturgeon's new memoir In her book, she even claimed the late Queen Elizabeth II asked for GOSSIP about the sexual misconduct allegations against Mr Salmond in 2018 during an audience at Balmoral Castle. One of the most shocking moments from the ITV interview, she admitted making mistakes in her handling of the SNP's highly controversial gender self-ID laws. She even insisted her backing of trans rights was still correct - but admitted she should have 'taken a step back'. The telly chat even saw the ex-FM admitting notorious trans rapist Isla Bryson should "probably" not be able to choose their own gender and conceded the beast is a "biological male". 5 Nicola Sturgeon's highly anticipated new book 'Frankly' hit the shelves this week Credit: PA 5 She had a sit down chat with ITV News which contained a number of bombshell claims Credit: ITV More deeply personal admissions are in the book, including about her own sexuality. She addresses head-on speculation surrounding her sexuality and a previous rumour that she had a secret relationship with a French diplomat. Ms Sturgeon said that her sexuality is not binary. She also told her harrowing account of losing her unborn baby in a miscarriage, saying she would 'mourn her for the rest of my life'. In the tell-all memoir, she admitted the day she was arrested over Operation Branchform - the long-running probe into SNP finances - was the "worst day of her life". She said she struggled to cope with the 'mental torture' of not being cleared by police after a seven hour interrogation. The former leader even revealed she still counts shamed ex-Nats minister Derek Mackay as a 'friend' despite him being outed for pestering a schoolboy with creepy text messages. When our story went live, the ex-Nats chief said there was no doubt Mr Mackay had to resign and left her feeling "sick". She wrote: 'I was back at Bute House when the Sun story went online, late that evening. I felt sick as I read it."

Monty Python classic to be screened at Scottish castle
Funded by investors including Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull, the film was mostly shot on location in Scotland. According to Eric Idle the film had a total budget of £175k (around £1.6m adjusted for inflation), with the Pythons making a joke of the fact by eschewing real horses in favour of miming horse riding while porters banged coconut shells together. Read More: Much of the filming took place at Doune Castle, including a famous scene with a rude French knight who tells the grail-seekers "your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" before firing livestock at them from a catapult. To celebrate 50 years of the film, exclusive screenings will be shown at the castle from Friday 22 August to Sunday 24. Gillian Urquhart, Events Manager at HES, said: 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail is an iconic film which has been loved by audiences for 50 years. To celebrate the anniversary of its the release, we're delighted to host showings of the film in the historic Doune Castle which served as the backdrop to a number of filming locations.' The screenings will take place in the historic Great Hall from the HES website.
