What is 'Operation Fortress'?
'Operation Fortress' is Nigel Farage's proposed plan to stop small boat crossings in the English Channel. The story mentions Clarkson's criticism of the plan's logistics, specifically regarding the use of Royal Navy ships. Farage's defence, citing his experience 'running boats', aims to counter these practical concerns.
