It is hard not to sympathise with the government. It is such an awful situation. The government is caught between maintaining our humanity as a nation and being constantly criticised for not doing enough to deal with this madness!
I also sympathise with fellow Brits who are fed up with this situation and are voicing their displeasure
It really is utter provocation. But we must, as a nation, resist the temptation to lash out. We must find humane ways to deal with this situation. So far, we haven’t been able to find such solutions. I keep saying it, and it does sound implausible, BUT, perhaps they get a way to address this matter is to go and help struggling countries around the world. The countries where these people crossing the channel come from. Are there ways to sort their economy, help them politically (end wars etc.) and get them taking pride in their nations as opposed to the humiliation awaiting them on these perilous journeys.
The situation is just completely depressing all round!
We must find a solution.
