  1. France: the ultimate hypocrite.

    Allows illegal migrants to cross the channel to UK, condemns Belarus for allowing illegal migrants over border to Poland.

    Threatens to cut supply of electricity to the Channel Islands, condemns Russia for weaponising energy crisis by refusing to sell them more gas.

  2. >On Friday the Home Office confirmed the exact numbers, saying 1,185 people were rescued – or intercepted and brought to shore – by the Border Force, while French authorities intercepted and prevented 99 people from reaching the UK.

    That’s not a thousand who crossed. That’s a thousand who got *caught* crossing.

  3. For anyone wondering. France receives more than 4 times as many applications for asylum per year than the UK. That’s why refugees want to get to the UK, because they know their claim is more likely to be approved, due to less competition.

    France receives vastly more refugees because it’s easier to get to.

  4. Belarus does nothing to stop illegal immigration into the EU.

    r/europe – “Belarus are a terrible country, this must be stopped, we need an EU army”

    France does nothing to stop thousands of illegal immigrants to the UK every day

    r/europe “It’s not Frances problem, why should France secure it’s own borders, the Uk have to sort it out, it’s all their fault’
