C'mon Smirns its obvious. Now we're out of the EU, why should France try and hold onto them? Brexit has been very good for France - all migrants, that were refused their claim for asylum were returned to France in accordance with the Dublin Agreement. You voted for that arrangement to be cancelled. Add to that, that it suits this failed government to have a wedge issue boiling away continually - they believe having migrants awaiting processing keeps the issue alive on the doorstep, and deflects from the everyday disaster we're currently in. And then add to that, a never-ending desire for a smaller state means less staff able to process these people, less staff to contain these people, the greater chance they have having their claim approved.
Funny how everything you want leads to the very thing you don't want.
I accept our limitations outside of the EU, thank you. That said, the French being the petulant, Brit hating bastards that they’ve always been wouldn’t change their, turn a blind eye, approach even if we where still in the EU. Other countries still in the EU are experiencing their own difficulties with the influx. The political machine that is the EU still sits on its hands and does nothing, no strategy, no planning and look the other way. Being back in wouldn’t solve the problem. It would only make it worse. Once they get into the dingies they become a U.K. problem. We should be rounding them up on the beaches and sending them to an uninhabited Scottish island before sending them home. Simple.
