This tends to be an unpopular opinion but I realized pretty recently that most of those 'stuck' in Calais are economic migrants rather than people who are destitute and in need of help. Now, I see nothing wrong in wanting more cash or whatever for your family..or preferring the UK because its more 'tolerant' or for our NHS or whatever, but at this moment I think its a bit crap to be prioritizing people like this over those genuinely fearing for their lives but unable leave the camps bordering Syria and the likes..you know, those who actually are very vulnerable..so much so they haven't been able to travel thousands of miles and pass through many safe countries?

we do take them from the refugee camps next to Syria, we have been doing it and are still doing it .... I'm getting really angry and frustrated at people classifying those in Calais the same ... its just sooooooo wrong on so many levels.
