Being safe clearly isn't what it was. The thousands in Calais are perfectly safe except from themselves. It's their choice to refuse to claim asylum in France (or any of the safe countries they passed through to get there) and live in squalor so I therefore have very little sympathy for the adults amongst them who're effectively trying to 'force' their way into the UK by hook or by crook. My belief is that the minors there are effectively being used as emotional pawns and if we give in to that more children will go the same way.
