The Calais Jungle 'child refugee' conundrum | Coffee House

Many – especially if French and right-wing – or British and left-wing – insist: Britain has a moral obligation to take in not only those unaccompanied children but everyone else in the Jungle as well – up to 10,000 in total – just because they want to come to Britain.

Britain does not. It has no moral – let alone legal – obligation even to take in unaccompanied children without British links from the Jungle let alone adult migrants, even if real refugees. France does.

I agree with the Calais migrants. France is the pits: not much work and no automatic welfare (once granted refugee status); diabolical restaurant food; and the populace permanently pissed off. But France is supposed to be a civilised country nevertheless and is not some war-torn hell-hole or dictatorship. And France has allowed the Jungle to exist.

Britain’s only obligation is to those unaccompanied children with a British family connection who have applied for asylum in Britain. If they are children. Yet in the year to September 2015, two-thirds of child asylum seekers in Britain whose age was disputed by officials – according to latest Home Office figures – were found to be adults.

The British Dental Association has suggested that verifying the ages of migrant children by their teeth would be ‘unethical’. But as Emma Louise Ashord, 37, a dental nurse, had told me in the Dover Priory pub opposite Dover station the night before I arrived in Calais, ‘We get loads of them in the surgery who say they’re 16 but they’re more like 30. They’ve all got wisdom teeth.’

So if looking at the faces is not enough, just check the teeth, which the Home Office won’t because it is ‘intrusive’. How many more would have been rumbled if it had?

He's not a prophet. He's someone who did a job in the 1990s and is now trying to sell a book.

If I only read the headline and not done a bit of research as to who this guy was, I'd be looking like a brexidiot.

You need to double your iQ for that

Oh right so this time it will happen will it



Incidentally the Tory party conference, the plunging pound and the marmite war seem to have taken a bit of the shine off Brexit:

In other news.....

Hammond admits forecasts were wrong.

More significantly, Hammond reveals how biased they were.

• Assumption that A50 would be triggered on the day of the result
• Assumption that there would be no policy change as a result of the vote
• Assumption that the UK wouldn't look for new trade deals.

Make their rehash by the Indy look even more stupid than before.
