So this Govt. can afford £479million for a detention centre in France on 13:30 - Mar 11 by Buhrer | Im not in favour but logically one incentivises and the other penalises so I'm assuming the argument is the numbers reduce rather than increase when people are sent to foreign prisons. |
That may well be the case, although given the current penalties are allegedly supposed to include deportation to central Africa I am not sure disincentivising the migrants is proven to be a successful strategy. SB |  | |  |

😂 I get Buhrer's point though (I think) - some might shrug their shoulders, decide they can't face any more unpleasant, hard barriers, so give up trying for the UK & fall back on staying in France. |  |

So why why haven't the international community dealt with it? From memory that's what happened to the Vietnamese boat people in the late 70's. They were given Visa's for entry to safe countries, but only if they heading to a refugee camp, & the legal stuff was done from there. Just because we're not in the EU doesn't dissolve us of some responsibility to help internationally.We should do much more for the Afghan people. |  | |  |
