Calais transfer.
Discussion
to be fair up to 18 is still considered a child isn't it? That being the case why should foreign born not be considered children up to the same age? Do take your point on girls though!!
As a further aside I also do wonder how many of those children checked out as actually being children?

I think 18 is considered to be the age when a child turns into an adult, but I think in this case the UK is making exceptions for the officers eyesight.As a further aside I also do wonder how many of those children checked out as actually being children?
I'd imagine the cost of a trip to Specsavers is a cost the Home Office won't bear.
These two have had a hard life to date, the first 'child' has more worry lines than me, and it was a considerable number of years since I was 18! The second looks older than my son, who would be rightfully pissed off if I called him a child.
It's a joke, surely!

Now you see why the liberalisers got rid of the word 'teenager'. The most apt word for anyone between 13 and 19.As a further aside I also do wonder how many of those children checked out as actually being children?
They ensured anyone over 5 and under 25 are all termed 'Young People'.
This term has been spouted by liberalisers for the last 10 or more years, almost as common as 'climate change'. The brainwashing starts at nappy age today.Now it's changed again, many people expecting to see 'children' (under 12) from the Calais camp have all had a bit of a shock.
Seems now anyone under 18 (or looking at some pics today, even older!) are deemed 'children'.
I was a 'teenager' in the 60s, if anyone had called us 'children' they'd have had a f
king riot on their hands!

So are the army employing kids or adults at 16?
Ooh yeah! Lets stick it to the Army 'cos they use 'child soldiers'The British Army 'employ' 16 year olds, with parental consent, so they can TRAIN and learn a trade. They are not allowed to serve in conflict areas until they are 18.
Some of those 'Jungle Children' haven't seen 18 for a few years.....

The authorities are destroying any sympathy, or the chance of a deserving case making it over.

Unaccompanied migrant children is a good one in Sweden, this chap must have had one hell of a paper round
That "lads" paper round must have been the Himalayas.
I am particularly taken by the Home Office comment quoted in the Daily Mail.
"A Home Office spokesman admitted that routine medical tests, such as checking dental records, have not been carried out because it could be 'intrusive'. "
I suspect we all find lots of things HMG does to be "intrusive"

I'm far from having a pop at the army,but there needs to be a more defined age for adult and child.The British Army 'employ' 16 year olds, with parental consent, so they can TRAIN and learn a trade. They are not allowed to serve in conflict areas until they are 18.

Standby for all photographs of the poor young things to be blurred out to avoid awkward questions, sorry, keep their identities safe from predatory paedo's
(And yes, a lot of them DID look like younger teens. They are not the ones I would be worried about when placed in accommodation with lads and girls of the same age as my daughter!)

I hadn't seen that one.
Meet Hans from Afghanistan, my heart goes out to an 11 year old that has to cope with that amount of facial hair at 11, poor mite.
He's only just discovered that pulling his penis gives him a fuzzy feeling

I know quite a few ex 'Child Soldiers' who would do it all again if they could, having had a great time.
I definitely agree that a common, 'catch all' age would be better.

That's like having your English corrected by a brain damaged chimp.
