Some of the people in the photo's do look older than children for sure but I think it's very difficult to age people from photo's LT. Maybe living rough the way they have been ages you. Also as was stated in a news report yesterday, some of those pictured were interpreters who were travelling with the teenagers to help with communication.

Whoever was on the gate needs sacking.You wouldn't trust em to work in an off licence never mind the borders to the country.First bit of training should be spotting a fake id.:laugh:

I am soooo delighted to see these children, because by the same process which the authorities have used to calculate these kids ages, I am shortly coming up to my 23rd fecking birthday!!!!

YIPPEE!! :dance::dance::dance::cheer2::cheer2::laugh:

No that claim was false and has been discredited

LeatherTrumpet 20-10-2016 12:49 PM

They have even admitted that they all lie about their age in order to get into countries!

kirklancaster 20-10-2016 12:51 PM

These are all veritable little babies LT and not a Dummy in sight.

Except those who let them in. :laugh:

If I was desperate to get out of a country where my life was in danger I would absolutely preach to the heavens that I was a 16 year old spring chicken. :shrug:

But surely when they are in France they are already 'out of the country where their life was in danger'?

This is a good point Jenny and it's something I don't understand about the jungle. Surely France has a duty of care to the people there rather than letting a camp build up like it has. Particularly to any children.

Isn't that really France's responsibility though?

Yeah I think the French are more or less saying they want to get to Britain so it's your responsibility :unsure:


I have no issue if these "children" have families in the UK, we were told it was a race against time to find the children before the camp was closed which is a lie as no one over 18 is classed as a child and where are the females?

Do you have anything that shows it was discredited? And is there a link to the article that these pictures are from and where they admit "they all lie about their age"?

They saw an episode of Benefits Britain and thought ooh that looks nice we'll have some o that.

Seriously though a couple of them feckers look 45 years old.The Border control staff shoulda gone to Specsavers.
