Commonsense At Last?

.
If Alan Johnson, the Home Secretary, is to be believed, Britain will not be forced to take migrants from the ‘Jungle’ camp in Calais which French police have cleared.

Commonsense has also been sounded by Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of the Migrationwatch think-tank, who has said that Britain's immigration policy was part of the problem. ‘Britain is regarded as a soft touch,’ he has correctly said.

More commonsense has come from Richard Ashworth, Conservative MEP for South East England, who said that, ‘It is now incumbent on the French government to deal with illegal immigration at the point of entry into France, and not simply funnel them through creating this sorry bottleneck along the Pas de Calais and Normandy coasts’.

But will commonsense prevail? We will have to wait and see.
