VICTOR Meldrew would say "I don't believe it"! Have we lost all our common sense?
Fit young men are "swarming" through the Channel Tunnel on a daily basis, and instead of stopping them, we build for them what will undoubtedly be "very comfortable" accommodation.
Where? In remote, settled, rural areas, where they will later be joined by girlfriends, wives, mothers, aunts and uncles, et al!
Yes, I live in Pershore, which is quite near Throckmorton, but if you read this in Worcester, Droitwich, Malvern or even Kidderminster, it will still affect you directly.
Why? Because siting them in a "far out" area means the DHSS will give, yes give, them cars to travel to shops, and so on - as they have done in Kent, and other places.
If the Channel Tunnel was closed until the French sorted out the Sangatte problem, it might concentrate a few minds on the problem.
