Many of the migrants are in fact legitimate refugees from conflicts that the UK was intimately involved in the last 20 years (Afghanistan, Syria).
We were involved in Afghanistan, yes. Which brought about education for girls... Something not seen in that country for decades? We ultimately failed but not without trying to bring about a better world for those people. It's not like we were there to take the resources.
It's news to be that we were involved in the recent conflict in Syria?
In any case, Brexit has made the problem worse because now not only does the UK have a problem with boat crossings, but we have strained our relations with the country that the boats are coming from (France). The boats are indeed leaving the EU.
Agreed. But we know who exactly we can name and blame for these failings (British MPs), and vote against them going forward.
