FTA: The archbishop of York has accused European countries of pushing migrants towards Britain and warned that the UK should not be regarded as a “soft touch”.
John Sentamu said the refugee camp in Calais only existed because the Schengen free-travel zone allowed migrants to move from the Middle East or Africa through Europe to the edge of the Channel without passport checks.
The Church of England’s second-highest cleric told the Henley literary festival that the countries in the Schengen area should “own up to what they have created”. Telegraph version. RT version.
This post was deleted for the following reason: Feels like it needs to be a lot clearer whether there's something actually newsworthy here or just Notable Guy Talks Some Shit; three short articles all reporting the same thing doesn't really do anything more there than one would, and given how difficult a topic this has been in general this feels like poor footing for a new post. -- cortex
