Anyway as I said earlier I don't blame them and their families for lying. But it does mean less real children get in at the same time.

To be quite honest, I think we should be 'letting people in' who are in the refugee camps bordering war torn places. As those people stuck there are more likely to be vulnerable than those who have managed to make the journey to France

Horrible horrible situation either way though. I am so conflicted on this its unreal..it hurts my head
