Migrants: A fridge too far...

WE ARE assured that keeping open the Irish border after Brexit won’t provide migrants with a back- door into Britain. Really?

This week, two Afghans were discovered stowed away in a fridge on board a ferry sailing from Cherbourg to Dublin. They were airlifted to Devon and no doubt will be given asylum now they’re here.

Meanwhile, the EU has come up with a plan to beat the people smugglers by giving safe passage to 50,000 asylum seekers from Africa, to stop them having to make the perilous journey across the Mediterranean.

This £ 439 million scheme comes just weeks after Brussels agreed to give member states the right to introduce tougher border controls.

Only in the Looking Glass world of the EU could a plan to cut immigration involve spending hundreds of millions on bringing in tens of thousands more migrants.
