France sees this as an entirely UK problem, which they have been saddled with on their shores, and they have had all the costs until recently.

France already takes 4 times the number of refugees as we do, and the EU many more, but the EU does not take these people anymore due to brexit.

It is not illegal as everybody is incorrectly stating, no legal challenge has been successful.

The solution is simply to pick them up from France, we need them as we have lost too many valuable workers, and we have a basic human duty in respect of refugees by international convention.

But the nub of this tragedy is the basic inhumanity of the UK asylum system.


Correct, ironically, it would be illegal had we stayed in the E.U, with the Dublin deal, but as we are out there is nothing to say they have to claim refugee status in the first country they can.On the plus side, we are OUT, and WE ALONE control our borders! And a great job Priti is doing, has she abandoned her giant wave machine idea I wonder?

How many countries do they go through to get to France?

Many probably, but they are allowed to under the law, as we are a non E.U country.They are doing nothing wrong in heading to the uk to claim asylum, in the eyes of the law. Had we been in the E.U, they would have to claim at the first safe country, but we are not, so they don"t.We alone control our borders.

Then how do they get from one EU country into another? They’re no longer asylum seekers once they leave the first country.

They may have broken the law in the E.U, but not by entering the uk, once here, they have not broken any of our laws. And as we are non E.U, it is none of our business, let the E.U countries worry about them passing through. Nearly 85% of those claiming asylum here, are genuine and can stay, and only 6 have been sent back this year.

If you believe those figures represent the reality, you would believe that Norwich are going to win the Premier League.

Fine, so let's see you produce some posts that back up your drivel.

I'm very patient, take your time.


You conveniently avoided the facts I posted that showed the the UK to take in very small amounts of asylum seekers compared to other European countries such as France, Italy and Germany, the UK ranks 14th. That should make you happy, less non white skinned people for you to complain about.

CP this has been going on for years, see my previous post about Sangatte, long pre-dates Brexit

By attempting to enter the UK illegally they have broken the law but not one that is enforced/enforcable.
Not sure where you get your figures from but IMO they are way off the mark regarding genuine asylum seekers.
With regard to removals, believe me the HO try but many obstacles put in the way
Numerous appeals
HR lawyers ( feathering their own nests possibly)
Most are not detained so can easily “disappear “
Attempting to get documentation from their own governments

Portugal take very few, perhaps whilst you are there you could lobby the government and request they take a fair share of the thousands of displaced people roaming Europe

Sorry CP, I’m not following the logic. When we were in the EU we couldn’t stop people coming because of freedom of movement and now we’re not in the EU we can’t stop people because it’s none of our business?

Correct and the fact that France takes in and settles far, far more than the UK makes it even more of a no brainer in moral terms. Unfortunately the brexit mantra of chest beating and attempting to give the UK a 'bully boy' image by the current 'government' has caused the death of women, children and even very sadly a pregnant woman. Utterly shameful and in full view of the rest of the world.

In 2018 - last figures I could find - the UK were no 6 in the world list for immigration at just under 500,000 incoming.
France did not even make the top 10.
Do you have more recent facts?

Yesterday France 24 news channel was reporting that some migrants had applied for asylum in other EU countries and that had been refused.

Good to see the government taking migrant deaths seriously.

Two Tory MPs used proxy votes while attending Ascot races in June. What on earth does that have to do with the deaths of illegal immigrants?

It was on LBC spider yesterday, and they don"t throw figures around unless correct, they are always picking up callers saying you can"t say that as its not factual. I do respect your experience in the game thou and am not saying before brexit things were great, but these were the figures stated yesterday.

We voted to abolish the returns agreement with brexit, we could have returned people before we left, if the will was there, now we can"t!Now, we alone control our borders, sounds great in theory, in practice we are a sitting duck for refugees to come. And asking the French to take the refugees/migrants back, isn"t going to wash, why would they? Great to see the French get some backbone and take control, by telling Priti shes not welcome in negotiations, it might force the issue and we can get someone who actually knows what they are doing in charge!

France take double ours and Germany three orfour times the amount,we don"t take as many as we used to, only have made it harder to claim asylum now with normal routes in , thats why they are coming by dingy.

Mostly from countries not currently at War.
