Concern As Hulking All-Male Refugee Children Arrive From Calais

[Baldric]

QUESTIONS have been raised over the real ages of refugee children arriving in Britain from Calais after it emerged that immigration officials have no way of verifying how old they are.

The only ones they should allow into this country are the under 12s.

All the faces of the 'children' have been pixelated so you just have to take their word for them looking older. Unless you see the same pictures on a different web site.

[Baldric]

Even with pixelated faces they hardly look like Children .

I put this as an alternative to the Mail article linked to in the OP of the question Zacs has so kindly linked to, as of course not everyone trusts the Mail.

Even more so the Express.

These are the children.

Better add the Sun to your list, has I have just noticed that the photo of a 'Child' that I provided was in fact a Sun photo.

So AOG you would leave a 12 half year old on their own to survive on their own?

Barbaric!

It's OK Islay, they're Johnny Foreigner........

[naomi24]

Islay, these '12 year olds' managed to survive the long journey from their homeland alone. I wonder why the French authorities didn't take them into care?

[dunnitall]

Yes Naomi I would like to know that too AND how come any of these migrants are allowed to access the UK when they are already in and have passed through a place of safety!

If it was a matter of giving a child under 12 the preference of coming to the UK, over one that was over 12, then that certainly would be my choice.

We cannot become the dumping ground to all the world's children, let some other countries take on their full responsibility.

[Islay]

Peoples attitudes beggers belief - they hark on about people's obsessions with Trump but mention Muslim and they are all over it worse than a STD rash!

Too right they are, since aren't all illegal immigrants foreigners?

And isn't that why one of the biggest concerns at the moment is over immigration?

[naomi24]

Islay, what are your reasons for wanting to allow these migrants to come to the UK?

[anotheoldgit]

Islay

And who has mentioned Muslims on this particular thread?

[Islay]

I have no issues with allowing these children to join their families that are already here or to give orphaned children a new start.

[Islay]

Come AOG you commented on it quicker than snow off a hot shovel that always means that there is race, religion or colour involved!

[naomi24]

Islay, but they're hardly 'children'. If they were, I'd agree - but they're not.

And how many of these 'poor little mites' will you be taking in, feeding them. clothing them, and tucking them into bed at night with their favourite teddy, after reading them a fairy story of course?

And we all know how good you are at them.
