“Britain Can’t Deport Me”: Calais Migrants Vow to Keep Crossing Channel
Migrants in Calais have vowed to cross the Channel “again and again”, saying “Britain can’t deport me”, as Keir Starmer’s ‘one in, one out’ deal with France faces a wave of legal challenges. The Telegraph has the story.
Asylum seekers told the Telegraph on Thursday that if deported back to France, they would return to Britain “again and again”.
Buoyed by successful challenges from would-be deportees, several migrants said they were confident they could avoid being removed once they crossed the Channel by following legal advice given to them by British charities working in Calais.
Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, has accused migrants detained under the scheme of “making a mockery” of Britain’s laws and generosity by making “vexatious last-minute claims” of human trafficking and modern slavery.
She has now blocked migrants from challenging Home Office decisions about their claims in an attempt to speed up deportations.
The migrants waiting in Calais appear not to care. Speaking outside his flimsy, brightly coloured tent on a disused dock, Ahmed Mustapha, 30, scoffed at Ms Mahmood’s chances of deporting him once he crosses the Channel.
“She’s just talking,” the Syrian father-of-three said. “They say the same things again and again, but it doesn’t change anything. I don’t care what she says. They can’t deport me. I will talk to a lawyer and try to cross again and again. I control myself.”
Christophe Gosselin, 68, a volunteer for migrant charity Salam, spoke as he was giving out pastries, bread rolls, melon, bananas, tea and coffee to migrants in a car park.
He insisted the ‘one in, one out’ deal would not end Channel crossings.
“The problem is the English dream,” he said. “For migrants, England is the dream. They assume it’s no problem to work there and you get the good life.”
The deal signed by Sir Keir and Emmanuel Macron, the French President, is intended to see France accept one small boat migrant from Britain in exchange for one who has a strong asylum case.
On Thursday, Sir Keir welcomed the first successful deportation under the scheme, saying “we need to ramp it up” as Donald Trump told him to deploy “the military” to tackle Channel crossings.
Other migrants also dismissed Sir Keir’s claims that the deportation deal was a deterrent, saying that even if detained, they would turn to legal advice given to them by the British charity Care4Calais.
A document (pictured below) written by the charity in Arabic has been distributed to migrants in Calais, providing them with “important contacts” in case they are detained for deportation.
“The UK and French Governments have launched a pilot scheme to allow a limited number of people to apply to enter the UK,” it reads. “However, for every person allowed into the UK, an equivalent person will be returned to France.
“This means that some people may be detained upon entering the UK, and the UK Government will attempt to return them to France. If you are detained, it is important that you seek legal advice.”
The leaflet then lists the contact details of Care4Calais, as well as five other migrant charities: Detention Action, the Jesuit Refugee Service, Beyond Detention, Humans for Rights Network and Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group.
Why is England the dream though? I know they get free shit, but it can’t be enough to make this country bearable surely.
Any semblance of character and charm has been hammered from the UK, we’ve got awful weather, awful towns and cities, a population who are indifferent to each other at best and public services that are useless.
It’s weird to me – surely however bad their own countries are, at least the culture and language are their own. Perhaps they are truly deluded that they think they will make it big or perhaps they make enough money to send some home for themselves or their families and that money while small to us makes a big difference where they are from. Also it’s probable that some of them are trafficked on the basis of false promises then they are in debt to the traffickers and no passport, maybe threats against their families back home. A good investigative journalist might be able to dig up some useful information
This is because the traffickers are selling something, in this case passage to ‘El Dorado’. They will sell it as hard as possible because they can earn huge amounts of money. The UK is just a commodity and once the migrants are here there is zero chance that any will ask for their money back because the reality is not what was sold. However, once here it must seem like they have arrived in El Dorado as they are treated better than the natives – the natives that have spent the last 1,600 years building a successful and peaceful society. Ranged against this peaceful and successful society are all of our civic structures that we created that have been captured by non UK interests and activists, and all of whom only know ‘earning’ a living from UK taxation, that is the Home Office, Social Security, Lawyers, ECHR, ICR, UN, EU along with numerous affiliated NGOs. Our political representatives have not ever argued against either the traffickers narrative or the International Communist’s narrative. It would also appear that the traffickers are useful tool to the Internationalists that are intent on breaking down sovereign nations. I don’t recall anyone in the UK,… Read more »
The so-called “gangs” could be stopped overnight if government wanted to. I would be surprised if the gangs weren’t actually arms length government subbies.
No war in England, as the Sudanese migrants have said. Free healthcare and education. No corruption. If the monthly salary in Ethiopia is $50, the minimum wage or child benefit in the UK is a fortune. Did the Somalian man thank Starmer for the character and charm?
On benefits day a few years ago I saw a middle-aged woman who was obviously East African being paid in £20 notes. I lost count at £300. Each one of those notes would be a small fortune in Ethiopia.
Exactly. You can’t blame them, in their situation I would do exactly the same. It’s a no-brainer.
Except diddling kids, obviously.

Despite all of the freebies the illegals get I’m convinced that one of the major draws is our incompetent and lazy police, who would much rather sit on their computer searching for hurty words than chasing car thieves, shoplifters and phone muggers. Far safer and an easy collar, keeping their clear-up rate at nearly 4%.
Allowing them to steal £200 from any amount of shops every day is very attractive.

We could sink your fucking dinghy half way across, sometimes I think that’s the way to go .
If it was good enough for the Spanish armada, or napoleon, it’s good enough for you.
For a start we can stop ‘rescuing’ the boats given that Tom Harwood pointed out that only ONE has come across completely in recent years. If you set out on a dangerous journey then good luck with that and if you perish on the way, well then boo hoo hoo.

They form their own communities, they don’t have to work and they get given stuff and they hear you can get away with screwing the locals’ kids.
Yes. You have summed it up most succinctly.

Desperate times desperate measures.

We could get thrown out of the EU for things like that. Oh, wait…
