My view is that we should be providing aid, etc then once the dust has settled send these people back, as those will be the people who will be needed to rebuild the country and not have it decline again. What people are fearful off, and what the deal is trying to stop is people choosing which country they want to reside in after fleeing their home. If you are being persecuted you would go to the nearest safe haven, not go to one of your choosing.

This is the organisation that Labour wants us to Remain part of !!!

“The implication is that EU leaders plotted with war criminals and murderous dictators to hand refugees back to the very leaders they were fleeing from, and then give them money for “cameras, scanners and servers” to keep them under watch. ”
