A year on and some are still trying to twang our heart strings in their attempt to take more migrant children into the UK.

I say if it is proven without doubt that their families are already in the UK then of course let them join them.

But don't let it work the other way, by allowing the children into the UK only to be followed later by the adult members of their families.

The family were already safely in Turkey, there was no need to attempt that perilous crossing.

NO, we'll be talking the kids then the disastrous oooman rites cobblers will demand we take the entire family and uncle Tom Cobly. This is a Schengen problem let them sort it. End of.

This is also France's problem, why haven't they removed all the children from this hell hole of a camp and housed, clothed. fed and educated them in a clean, safe environment?

I suggest that the people who want to “take them in” do so - at their own expense, especially the “celebrities”.
Let these (so called) refugees live with them, and pay for absolutely everything out of their own pocket. This includes private education, private medical care (as our schools and NHS are already overloaded), clothe them, feed them, and foot the bill until these kids are able to be completely independent.
And if they end up being criminals, pay all the legal fees and the cost of keeping them in jail.

I’m sure it’s very easy to say “look at me, what a good person I am” when you will not be directly affected by what you are campaigning for.

Ok if the religious leaders et al want to put them up in their own homes !

I notice Yvette Balls has gone very quiet since she offered to take in a refugee family earlier this year.

^ People who spout off like that are usually all talk !

It would appear so jambutty.
