Anyone else think it's odd...

[Dave Plowman (News)]

...that the UK are actively helping refugees from Africa crossing the Mediterranean to safety in Italy, but after that are blaming Italy and France for poor border security when they try to get to the UK?

[Richard]

Yes. They should simply drop them off back on the southern shores of the Med. Preferably a long way from access to floating things.

I assume you are looking for some DIY on this topic so do you fancy going to France and offering to sponsor the 14 year old living in "The Jungle" who was on Radio 4 today?

PS What does *not* strike me as odd is that a 14 year old can cross France and live in The Jungle for months. Great way of discouraging needy immigrants the Gallic shrug, innit?

[Tim Streater]

Of course. You couldn't make it up. Rescue them, yes. But then return them to Libya.
