Stopping the boats

 How do we stop the Boats from France 



The issue of migration and asylum is a complex and sensitive one, and there is no easy answer. It is important to remember that people are fleeing their homes for a reason, often due to violence, persecution, or poverty. They are not simply choosing to come to the UK or any other country for economic reasons.

The UK has a long history of providing asylum to those who need it, and this is a humanitarian responsibility. Turning away those who are fleeing for their lives would be a betrayal of our values.

There are a number of factors that contribute to the number of people seeking asylum in the UK. These include:

  • The ongoing conflict in Syria, which has displaced millions of people.
  • The instability in countries such as Afghanistan, Eritrea, and Somalia.
  • The persecution of minority groups in countries such as China and Iran.

There are a number of things that the UK can do to address the issue of migration:

  • Work to resolve the conflicts and instability in the countries of origin of asylum seekers.
  • Provide more support to countries in the region to help them to deal with the refugee crisis.
  • Make it easier for refugees to resettle in the UK legally and safely.

It is also important to remember that migration can have a positive impact on the UK. Refugees and asylum seekers often bring with them skills and talents that can benefit our economy and society.

The question of where people seek asylum is a complex one, and there is no easy answer. France is a safe country, but it is also facing its own challenges in dealing with the refugee crisis. The UK has a long history of providing asylum to those who need it, and this is a responsibility that we should not shy away from.

We should also remember that the UK is a wealthy country with a strong economy. We have the resources to help people who are fleeing for their lives, and we should do so. Turning away those who are in need would be a betrayal of our values.

Spring time

  The sun awakes in a sleepy stretch,  Yawning warmth on a winter's wretch.  Birdsong flutters on the breeze,  Waking trees from slumber...
