The official people traffickers

136 child migrants have gone missing from a hotel in Brighton, some being kidnapped and bundled into cars out on the street, and nothing is apparently being done. And few in Government seem to care, one even made a joke in Parliament about it yesterday.

I have suggested that the UK Government is in a symbiotic relationship in France with the supply and new of refugees crossing the Channel in small boats. Now we fnd that those who survive the crossing and treatment at Manston are being trafficked inside the country as well.

Government's anwers is to make migrants even more criminal, under UK law, than they currently are. Depsite being a migrant is no against international law, what with there being UN charters and treaties about it.

Thing about a border is that they have two sides, you can pass laws and so on, on one side, but there is little that can be done the other side, especially if under say, French as well as international law, the crossing of the Channel isn't against laws there.

In the past, someone who has arrived in the UK and failed to claim asylum or leave to stay here on first application or appeals, could have been sent back to the country they departed from to arrive here, under the EU's Dublin Agreement. But the UK Government failed to undertake such an agreement after the UK left the EU, so all migrants who arrive here have to say here, unless they home country will accept them back, and then if their lives are not in peril.

Like many areas of policy, Brexit itself isn't to blame for this, but Brexit, and the form that May and Johnson chose has made the situation much worse than need be. Is this that it is politically convenient to still blame the EU of France for the UK Government's onw ongoing policy failures?
