Anyway we've agreed to pay an extra £44 million to secure the border as Calais.

Those economic migrants are on French soil, it's France's problem, not ours. They have traveled through several European countries, all decent enough to live in and claim asylum.

I beg to differ on the anti-democratic part. They voted against the bill to oppose the process of leaving, yet more delay tactics to thwart the result, they are ignoring their key Manifesto policy of 'Accepting the referendum result', that they and their Momentum cohorts were only too happy to brag about before the snap election, I remember it well, waving it and bragging about it, "Read the manifesto, it's brill." and they cannot even stick to it, same old pathetic Labour.
