Lesbos is one thing, but there is no reason for a single migrant to be in a miserable camp in Calais. Those who are there CHOOSE to be there, because they are illegal, economic migrants who want to get into the UK without its ID cards and with its massive black economy. That is the size of it.
Those who have a genuine claim to asylum, can claim it in any one of the European nations they have crossed to get to Calais. Those who have a proper claim to come to the UK can apply through the normal channels, even if they first register in another European country.
No, I have less than zero sympathy for those camping out illegally in the Pas de Calais - they have zero right to come to the UK - all the more so during the present crisis with the UK population in lockdown.
