Woman in Calais migrant camp 'will never give up' struggling to get children to the UK | Dispatch
Telegraph, 15 Nov 2022
The Telegraph went to Calais to talk to migrants waiting in a coastal camp for their opportunity to get a dinghy to the UK as a UK-France border deal was finalised.
Khadije has made the journey to Calais from the Afghan capital, Kabul with two young daughters and expresses her wish to get her daughters to the UK in order for them to study.
"The youngest wants to be a policewoman and the oldest wants to be a doctor". She says.
Adding, "I will struggle until the very end, until I get my children to their destinies. I will never give up."
Suella Braverman has returned from France with a deal to stop illegal migrant boat crossings that she calls a “step forward”.
The SNP’s Stuart McDonald pointed out that similar deals were struck in 2010, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
But the difference, the Government replied, is that not only are we now paying the French extra money to police their own border but British bobbies will, for the first time, be looking over their shoulder as they do it - to make sure they’re not blowing the cash on fags and mistresses.
Ms Braverman said she had hammered this out with her counterpart “Gerard Dum-der-dum” - the name on the page was unpronounceable - and stumbled gamely over the word “gendarmes”. Someone needs to tell these foreigners that they are never going to get on in life if they won’t learn English. The refusal of Europe to be Britain is precisely why many of us voted to leave it.
