Fourteen “teenagers” arrived in the U.K. from Calais Monday as a fast-track system was launched to transfer youngsters from the “Jungle” camp before it is demolished. The Home Office insisted it had “verified” the ages of all the refugees and that all of those who were brought to the U.K. were aged between 14 and 17. However, Tory MPs warned that photographs of the refugees suggested many of the group were older than 17. I’m all for helping the genuine children, but the well of goodwill is rapidly being exhausted here.”The Home Office confirmed the arrival of children “aged between 14 and 17” from Calais.
