UK small airfields defenceless against small aircraft says Judge.

Judge says small UK airfields are 'defenceless' against people traffickers as he jails Lithuanian pilot for smuggling in three illegal Albanian immigrants | Daily Mail Online

Good story here about small aircraft landing at Seething (appropriate name in these times).
Granted there may be more to the case than reported here but doesn't or cant the RAF track low flying aircraft coming into England from Europe? Historically we were a bit hit and miss but I would have thought in these days we could do it, shurely?
Is this embarrassing to the people who are responsible for our UK air defence system?
