On migrant crisis update: On my way to London last Thursday, I had to divert from Calais to Dunkirk, France to avoid the chaos going on with migrants trying to enter the United Kingdom illegally. Upon entry to Dover, British police presence was highly visible due to thorough control of the lorries and trucks filing in a row on both sides of the road that caused terrible delays for travellers entering UK. It took me more than 4 hours to reach London compared to the normal 2-hour, 11-minute drive.
Meanwhile, Home Office Minister Theresa May said, “Failed asylum seekers with children will be stripped of benefits in order to send a message to stranded migrants in Calais, France that Britain is not a land of milk and honey”.
