DESPITE the various suggestions from the heads of EU member states relating to the migration crisis, the fact is that nobody knows what to do about it without causing an uproar from the various humanitarian bodies.
Instead of giving away £12billion of UK taxpayers money in overseas development aid, we should instead be repairing the damage caused by these rogue regimes by investing in their economies leading to the creation of jobs to benefit their future.
This would stop the need for migration and benefit the EU and the UK by reducing the demand for, and taking the strain from, our overstretched infrastructure and resources – schools, hospitals, benefits and so on as well as our energy and water needs.
