Maybe actually read my OP or some of my other posts with lots of questions.

These people are rejected by the EU and are queuing up to get into the UK.

Hey here’s another question … why is that?
That’s the only question and I gave you the answer
They are not applying to EU nations because they’ve been heading to the UK from day one due to linguistic and familial ties or they just prefer the UK.
If they are not applying for citizenship in the EU how can the EU be rejecting?
I’m sure I’ve already given this response perhaps you should read your own op I’m sure it’s advised by the site guidelines

Oh I see, you’ve done a survey monkey with them.

Got it. I stand corrected. πŸ™„

I’ve gotta be honest if id travelled through the EU and been rejected asylum and citizenship in every country and ended up in a squalid camp purposefully set up by the French on the coastal outskirts of Calais, I would be risking my life to get into this wonderful land of fish n chips, benefits and housing too. πŸ™‚

There has been a significant change in asylum law since Brexit. When the UK was still in the EU, the rule was that if an asylum seeker was refused asylum in one country, it was game over, no replay; rejected people could not just keep on ‘shopping’ for another EU country to take them until they had exhausted all two dozen or so host countries. But now, with the UK out of the EU, asylum seekers who have been rejected by an EU country may think that they still have a chance to be accepted if they make landfall in the UK.

Agreed.

But why would (the wonderful) EU reject them asylum?
Why should the UK accept them?
If the UK doesn’t accept them, why should the UK be criticised?

The EU hypocrisy is choking, but I’m not surprised.
Also the UK is indeed the best place to settle in Europe, so I don’t blame the migrants for trying to leave France.

Why, you ask. Desperation, most likely.

I asked why the EU would reject migrants requests for asylum.
You replied “desperation”.

Never a truer word spoken.

The EU is a broken hypocrisy. These poor souls trying to leave it are evidence of that.

They’ve either travelled through the EU countries and been rejected by the countries they passed through … or they just see the UK as a better place to settle than those EU counties.

Which is it?

Hey Kevin, there’s another question for you to pretend I haven’t asked 🀭
I’ve answered it t least twice stop lying and read your own op slowly this time.
Give it one more generation mate odds on we’ll be back in fraternal embrace of the EU and history will regard you and team Farage with the contempt and derision you deserve.
Perhaps you could move to Russia

But earlier you were claiming I hadn’t asked any questions.

You seem to be in a bit of a muddle.

It was a question, one of the ones you earlier claimed I hadn’t asked.

Why are people fleeing France and risking their lives to get to the allegedly awful post Brexit fascist led UK?

Why hasn’t the EU welcomed them and given them asylum?

If they have been refused asylum by the EU (with its open borders policy) why should the UK be expected to do so?

Control your borders!

A question based on a lie to the point of flippancy is not a question it’s a lie but I answered it anyway, you then lied again by claiming that I hadn’t addressed your question based on a lie.
They are not being rejected by EU nations they were always heading to the UK based on a plethora of preferential factors none of which imply that the UK is objectively better than say, Germany, France or the Netherlands who all have their own migrants to deal with.
