Please mate, explain to me how what they’re doing is illegal ?
And secondly , it’s not up to Joe public to come up with the answers, we have an overpaid government who’s job that should be.
Pete has no idea what on earth he's talking about. He's had it explained hundreds of times. He's either ridiculously slow to understand or he's willfully ignorant.
He's been told and shown that you don't have to settle in the first country you arrive in
He knows that you need to be physically in the UK to claim asylum
He knows that the manner in which you get to the UK is not a determinating factor in the asylum process.
He knows that people wouldn't just casually pop over the channel from France, across such dangerous routes, by gangs, without good reason.
So he's either tremendously slow or he's deliberately ignoring it...I'll let you decide which one it is.
Interestingly he has suggested that Ukrainians are "proper refugees" unlike others from, let's be honest Muslim countries, who are illegals..he has no way of knowing that, he is just speculating and saying "you don't have a plan" when the one he's suggesting is illegal and unworkable and incredibly costly..
A better plan would be to do nothing (which was the advice given to Priti Patel before she had to issue ministerial direction to Matthew Rycroft).
