06.50am today Today R4. Head o Kent Social Services. Theyre getting overwhelmed with the new arrivals. Children. How are they coming into the country? asks Michelle Hussein. Boat. Dinghy. No longer the lorries
The French authorities say they have stopped 200 or so attempts to cross the channel by these folk. Yeh,like...are you planning to go this morning. Don't. Times it by 199.

On the same radio, the presenter was asking the foreign resident now working in the NHS, if they thought a backpayment of charges now be repaid to them on top of the recent cancellation of fees. It(the radio programme)then had the worker complete his picture: he and his wife had to live in a house/flat with just 1 or 2 bedrooms. They had a child. It was best for them to socially distance as they worked in separate NHS facilities. The short story was...shouldn't these two new NHS employees be fast tracked to a new house with 3,4 or 5 bedrooms. My guess is that they were in social housing,but hey! who cares! Up grade 'em above the locals to some better housing stock. Once again I was in shock. I just don't get it
