@OliDugmore Brilliant speech. A minor but important point, if I may. It’s not “The Yemen”, it’s just “Yemen”. There are many reasons esp older British people use ‘the’ in front of a place name, but they are all rooted in neo-colonialism.
@OliDugmore Lord Kerr is an ex diplomat. We used to get quite a few entering politics and they knew what they were talking about from practical experience. Now we get ex-Eton boys who've read the classics.
@OliDugmore @giraffehk Playing devils advocate, if ‘safe routes’ were opened, does that mean that applications have to be submitted on the French side, or do they travel here first & go into centers? Is there a cap on numbers? And would these [safe routes] stop the small boat crossings & trafficking?
