derickr, 
The BBC gets a lot of stick, but some programs alone are worth the Licence.
Take for example "To Catch A Scorpion", dealing with the cruelty of the people smugglers trying to get desperate people into the UK: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001yb67/episodes/guide
The Channel crossing is perilous, with people dying due to inadequate transport: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-67973718.amp
It illustrates that safe legal routes must exist.
The smugler scum atleast got arrested, due to Sue's investigation: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6pyyqep831o
