I just think it would be a good idea based on the fact that the world seems to be much more unstable, and if it prevents these perilous journeys across the channel, then it would be a good thing. That was the point I was making that comparing the number of people arriving in countries which are a different size to ours and have different ways of life etc. should not be used to shame us on the number of people coming here.

If, God forbid, we had a civil war, or some calamity that befell us; how would you want to be treated by other countries? With kindness, respect, dignity?

Whilst we sort out the ones who should be here, from the ones who shouldn’t. It isn’t much to ask. My bold. Will that ever happen though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the rhetoric, and the way many vulnerable people are referred to should shame us. In my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I don't mind genuine refugees arriving it's the illegal ones which bump up the numbers and as someone said most of them are males, does anyone know or estimate how many illegal ones are sent back.

I'd guess it was very very few. If it was a substantial number then the government would be shouting about it from the rooftops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is another matter. Facts on eligibility and capacity are what are need to be the deciding factors by each country individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the French Government pay to feed them or is it left to charities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I would think many of them have just vanished, I don't believe they are locked inside the hotels. The Tories are just using this issue to spread hate. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/government-fast-track-asylum-seekers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is far more useful to them to demonise all of the people arriving by boat, rather than actually doing something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
