Letter: The migrants who say they can't board the barge due to a fear of water seemed to have none of the English Channel
A letter from David Fleming:
Twenty migrants were granted a last-minute reprieve from boarding the Bibby Stockholm when lawyers, acting for support group Care4Calais, challenged the decisions. The lamentable excuse was because they have a ‘severe fear of water’, on a stable barge in a sheltered harbour. Yet they had no compunction nor fear about crossing the dangerous waters of the English Channel in unsafe dinghies.
