unsustainable..gotta make it much much hard to cross
This never used to happen before the Iraq war. It started with the Syrian refugees. Now it’s everywhere since people know they can make money. If they are truly asylum seekers, Priti Patel or the Government should instead of spending 250 million on a yacht to show off on should create a floating centre – they just live on a ship until they are processed or sent back.
We’re an island ffs, nice of sky news to delete comments btw. Truth hurts.
