It is a fact that illegal migrants are and have been, flooding over the English Channel.
It is also a fact that France has been paid millions (Danegelt) to properly police their coast and prevent this.
The primary cause, as we know, is the Schengen Agreement; where all member states, instead of abiding by the rules have played "Pass The Parcel" as illegals have flooded into Europe.
I completely agree with ALBF, on this.
Would be asylum seekers are legally bound to apply for asylum in the very first safe nation they reach.
However, they head for the UK since the idiot supposed government simply throw money at them and even when and where the asylum seekers are in fact economic migrants, it makes no difference. If they are known criminals and the Home Secretary (known popularly as Preti Useless Patel) tries to throw them out, the delightful human rights lawyers (all funded on legal aid, naturally) fight and the UK government loses.
Meantime; all apart from the French authorities doing nothing, the brilliant Border Farce, aided and abetted by the RNLI rescue the illegals and roll out the red carpet...
The British taxpayer is being gouged to pay for this: plus holistic services (Health, Education, Housing) simply cannot cope.
If you feel complacent in your French idyll, Eurotrash, then I would urgently commend you to read Douglas Murray's highly rated book, "The Strange Death of Europe" and think again.
BTW, the growing problems in Poland over Belarus (And now Lithuania) over violent illegal migrants ought to provide you pause for thought: unless, you also believe this is yet another Daily Mail propaganda wheeze?
