It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

BREAKING: Frontex can be held accountable for human rights violations.
Two landmark rulings by the CJEU, which should be implemented by the Agency and reflected in the amended Regulation.
I will request a debate with Frontex and the EU Commission about the consequences.
