Yet nothing has been done in Britain to prepare our people for the obligations of the chaos in Syria. There is deep hostility to immigration here because there is a sense that no politician any of us elects has the power to control it. If the EU is not prepared to sort out the wheat from the chaff, then our Government needs to do an Orban – impose draconian border controls (we don’t need razor wire, just proper checks: we are an island, after all) and immediately and very publicly repatriate those who land here but have no right or need to be here. Then we can get on with discharging our important moral responsibility towards those genuinely in danger.
