Sir Ed Davey's Visit
On the 19th of August, we were delighted to give a welcome to Dover for Ed Davey MP, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Max Wilkinson MP, the Liberal Democrat Home Affairs spokesperson.
Ed and Max were here to promote a new Liberal Democrat policy which aims restore safety, order, and fairness to our asylum system.
This new policy involves establishing a Pact with the E.U. whereby we would coordinate with them in a way that is similar in function to the Dublin Agreement, to which we were a party before Brexit.
This way, we would, not only be able share relevant biometric data etc. but also be able to return irregular immigrants to the country of their entry into the E.U.
As for Ed himself, in reality, he was a joy to meet. He was an intelligent, amusing, and very approachable person and displayed a shrewd interest in the issues that we have in our part of the world.
Also, in spite of having brought the welcome rain to our parched fields, he was very generous with his time and chatted in a caring and unhurried way with everyone present.
What a boost for us all.
Come back soon Ed.
