To understand how this happened, we need to go back to yesterday afternoon, with crowds jostling at the bus station in calais, anxious to get to the beaches outside town, the smugglers muscling in. The forecast is for a clear, calm night in the channel, perfect conditions for a crossing. Young men from syria, from sudan, none put off by news that they might end up being deported from britain to rwanda. Are you worried that you might be sent to rwanda by the british . No, if it is safe and i can study in rwanda, then thats fine too, he says. You hear that . Yeah. You dont want that . No, i dont want. But its not stopping you today . No. Nothing will stop you . No, no, dont stop me.
