The UK is not a part of Schengen, the UK does not have an obligation to take refugees from France or anywhere else in the EU. The UK provides more humanitarian aid than any other nation in the EU, and has taken millions of economic migrants from Europe in the past decade already.

Feel free to self-flagellate over all this if you want. None of the actions in the Middle-East were done in my name, I had no power to influence them, and have no interest in supporting bad policy to try and atone for bad policy.

Tad late for that. Seen the results of social attitudes surveys of British Muslims?

As citizens of this country, those actions were taken in our names regardless of if we agreed with them or not. I challenge you to state categorically that the actions we have taken in some of these countries have not had a direct impact in the flow of migrants to the EU
