Do you think they are aware that there is a lot of hostility amongst people in the UK that do not want them to come? I'm curious if they realise how controversial they have become or they think they will be welcome with open arms when they finally smuggle themselves into the UK.
Why do they want to come to the UK rather than stay in any of the countries they have passed through?
Was it mostly men or were there a lot of children, women and families?
I appeciate youve only been there a day, but assume youve spoken to them a lot about their hopes.
