Don’t forget the free Netflix, who wouldn’t risk their lives to watch Squid Game for nothing
I'm sure people will cross continents in absolute peril for £59.20 a week, yep.
What do you mean ‘genuine’ asylum claims, as opposed to the people that try to cross the channel for a laugh?

How's that man cave treating you? Had a shower yet this week?
Do they got more in France? Why are they coming here then?
We already have a consulate office in Calais don’t we? It’s where you go if you’ve lost your passport. We could do it from there if we wish.The thing is even if the french government allowed us to put an asylum centre in Calais and process there i don't think our government would do it. It would go down terribly with their base and be seen as a soft touch helping them over here.
I think the shit situation we're in now is because everybody is too scared to do anything.
Actually, it appears an asylum seeker gets £39.63 a week in this country while their decision is being processed. In France, they get 6.80euros a day. On current exchange rate, they're missing out on 42p a week coming here on rickity old boats, at risk of death. The fools, their spreadsheet was clearly flawed when they started their treck from Syria. Perhaps they were hedging on exchange rates and got it wrong.Do they got more in France?
Cost of living is cheaper in France too so that extra 42p a week counts for nothing.Actually, it appears an asylum seeker gets £39.63 a week in this country while their decision is being processed.

Eh? They're 42p a week better off in France than here. You're saying they do *even better* with cost of living?!?Cost of living is cheaper in France too so that extra 42p a week counts for nothing.
“Don't blame them from running away from France in fairness”
.. then suddenly pretends to have a full understanding of the issue
Misread. Thought you meant 42p a week better of in the UK.Eh? They're 42p a week better off in France than here. You're saying they do *even better* with cost of living?!?
Crepes and cognac all round, then!

Because .....Do they got more in France? Why are they coming here then?
If you add on the trafficking fee, they are financially worse off then. So, why are they coming?
I'd want to come here over France but it doesn't mean I should be allowed to. You're just spouting what the main media outlets are saying.There are lots of reasons why they might make the journey.
Firstly, as already discussed, many more stay in France than travel to the UK, so it's not like the majority make the crossing.
Language, obviously is a big one. If you're trying to start a new life somewhere it'd be much easier in a place where you can speak the language wouldn't it?
They may have friends, family or contacts in the UK
The UK is traditionally seen as a prosperous nation with opportunities for all.
In France and many other EU countries you need more paperwork and ID to get work and accommodation than you do in the UK
The traffickers are obviously going to over sell it. 'pay me lots of money to get you to the UK and I promise you'll get a good job, nice flat, etc etc'
You can waffle & deflect all on you want, someone coolly announcing they have no sympathy for kids drowning, and saying they brought it on themselves- pretty warped.
Tough shit. They are.I'd want to come here over France but it doesn't mean I should be allowed to. You're just spouting what the main media outlets are saying.

Perhaps you should offer to put them up for a bit at your gaff. I don't think so.Tough shit. They are.
They're not getting a fantastic return on their investment if that's what it's about, then! They should have a word with their financial advisor.Well they are paying thousands to do it aren’t they!

Saw it. A well rehearsed story. Did he say he didn't speak French or German ?One man just on the news has escaped the Taliban, speaks English and very well, wants to be in England so he can bring his wife and daughters to the UK so his daughters can complete their education. Why wouldn’t you risk everything for that chance for your daughters if you were a father. Compared to letting them grow up under the Taliban I’d take the same risk.

Such as ?But they are allowed to.
They can pick any country they like. That's international law. Deal with it.
You're just spouting what a load of right wing dickheads are saying.
Such as ?
Probably. But not living Long Lawford I wouldn’t know.Id guess they have better accommodation in Calais than long lawford to be fair.
Such as ?
Bit Harsh on macron from PVA but he clearly gets off on ethnics dying in the channel
In racist top trumps that’s got the highest score.Perhaps you should offer to put them up for a bit at your gaff. I don't think so.
