Unless they’re a heaving idiot looking to be arrested and sectioned under the mental health act, they swim next to a support boat, who give them directions and are in communication with other vessels. The Channel is the busiest shipping lane in the world.

A man was just convicted and fined for burning a Koran, under a blasphemy law by another name.
