Her claim has been refuted by migration experts, who believe it falls down on a number of fronts. Madeleine Sumption, the director of the Oxford Migration Observatory, said: “This is not an invasion – it’s not an army. But if instead she is referring to the number of people coming, we can compare the figures to other countries and see that the numbers coming in to the UK are relatively manageable.”

Zugleich würden kleinere Expeditionskorps in Nordengland und in Wales landen, um von der Hauptaktion abzulenken und zugleich so viel Unruhe wie möglich zu stiften. Das Ergebnis ging als „letzte erfolgreiche Invasion“ Englands in die Geschichtsbücher ein.

Writing in The Conversation, Dr Rita Singer from the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences discusses the French invasion of Fishguard in 1797 that is commemorated to this day in the town. It was an unusually warm and sunny morning when the people of Fishguard in north Pembrokeshire, Wales, arose on February 22 1797.

Nous l’avons oublié, mais les armées de la Révolution ont bel et bien débarqué au Royaume-Uni, en Irlande précisément, au terme d’une épopée navale et terrestre phénoménale ici racontée par Maxime Reynaud. En 1798, un corps expéditionnaire prend pieds dans une Irlande révoltée contre la tutelle britannique et accumule les victoires face à un adversaire largement supérieur en nombre.
