Hugh, you take my ‘posits’ far too seriously.
My position is simply that:
1. All migrants wanting to come here should apply to the British Embassy from whichever country they are in at the time, and a fast-track system needs to be in place to process each application.
2. Those people arriving illegally should be rounded up, sent to a detention centre where they are interrogated and then sent back to France with no right of appeal.
We cannot stand by and watch this illegal wave of migrants just continue. It has to be stopped and when we have suitable processes in place, this cruel trade in human lives will cease.
