The country that went to war for the sake of others, that underwent national rationing, and sent so many to fight and die so that other nations might one day be free is well and truly dead. "Never again" is right. Britain will never again bare any sacrifice for another nation. I'm so disappointed

It's almost funny the mental gymnastics and denial. These people are already deciding to risk their lives in crossing, there's nothing you can do to change the calculation to make them not take the risk other than providing a safer path for them. But ultimately racism is to high to accept that
