You know, I used to consider myself about as left as they come until recently. My opinions have changed on so many things I am doubting that now..this being one of them. I completely agree with the bolded part. It is shocking that those who have traveled through many safe countries to get here appear to be prioritized over those genuinely scared for their/their families lives.
I cannot agree that those posing as children are 'despicable' as honestly, humans do whatever they can to get the best for themselves. Its kind of in our nature.
However it is shocking that this has been allowed to happen when kids as young as 8 are alone there. But again, the question kind of comes, how the **** did 8 year olds manage to find their way to Calais alone?! However they got there I do think we should take them in, but those coming just for jobs/benefits/whatever need to go back and we can take in genuine refugees in their place. Our intake of refugees has been dire and must be improved..these are ****ing people and we cannot ignore them. However I cannot find it in me to get too annoyed about economic migrants having their makeshift illegal home taken from them. Refugees, of course we should help them. people posing as if they need help when they don't...no. I don't doubt these people think they could have a better life in the UK...but while thousands upon thousands actually need to be here to literally survive..people wanting in just for more money or whatever can get to the back of the line.
