@Geri which begs the question: why the hell would they leave France for UK anyway?
Was not trying to be reactionary (quite the opposite) and your points all make sense.
That said, the UK seems on a fast post-Brexit downward slide. (Not that Macron is great).
If I were seeking a new home, it would be low on the list.
@rrb The first safe country is not the condition one seeks asylum. There are always a good number of other reasons: language, existing family contacts, etc
Please don't quote reactionary dogma when discussing the plight of these poor individuals.
Thanks
