Perhaps - but you would have thought the UK gov would have gotten ahead of this and deployed people to the border to assist those eligible/wanting to get to the UK for sanctuary.
But they're already in a safe country

There is a process. If everything being said was true they would be in the UK. So something is missing in this story.Again should be no process.
At times like these, should be open border.
Sort it all out later.

What's wrong with France? Why is France so awful that thousands of people seem to want to leave it to come to the UK? Often through incredibly dangerous or criminal means?
As has been said, the refugees get to decide where they want to go , what they decide is a safe country for them, no one else.
The French themselves.

Pretty sure that's not how it works. In fact the European commission have a legal definition of safe country and that isn't it.
It's funny seeing all the usual right wingers post, "what was wrong stopping in France, or the countries she went through to get to the UK". After all these years they still don't get how the refugee system works.
Let me dumb it down for you all. Neither the 1951 Refugee Convention nor EU law requires a refugee to claim asylum in one country rather than another. There is no rule requiring refugees to claim in the first safe country in which they arrive.
You might also want to look up the Dublin regulations and how they no longer apply since Brexit. You won, get over it.
The ones who do try to get to the UK are most likely doing so for a very good reason, such as having family ties here in the UK. So my first assumption is "must have family here" when a Ukrainian refugee tries to get all the way to the UK, bypassing most of Europe. It certainly isn't for the warm welcome they will get, or the weather for **** sake.
Is this a fact? If they applied for asylum they would be approved without doubt. What appears to have happened is they applied for the fast visa which was declined as they are not eligible but have not applied for asylum.The only thing missing, which is not actually missing, it is well known, is that the UK are picking and choosing who to let in.
Very humanitarian.

Irrelevant.
If they are fleeing a war, and want to come here, let them in.
give it rest really, world leading look at how we treat our own in need and the unemployed, even the EU had something to say about it before we had brexit at how poor the government is with helping the poor and unemployed in UK a country that is expensive to live in but has the lowest benefits of all of western europe.@ICDP said it and i quote
