France is more generous in its asylum support than the UK. https://fullfact.org/europe/uk-asylum-support-doesnt-go-far-france/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly there is a reason, as they are taking that risk, but I can't see what the pull factor from France is? More than likely English speakers from the middle east perhaps with family / friends in Britain. Here in France the majority of refugees are French speaking from North Africa.

L00b Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) I don't think I've ever seen such a display of openly xenophobic dogwhistles in a single thread that stayed open so long on Sheffield Forum. Sign of the times. Politicians must be absolutely loving how this is new normal is working out for them. Edited January 2, 2019 by L00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No,of course it's nothing of the kind, regardless of how you see it your boat people are here illegally and are not real refugees. Why do think they would sneak in when they could arrive cheaper on a plane then claim asylum ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
