Part 4/9:
The situation has become a contentious political issue. Critics argue that the ongoing expenditure is depriving the UK of resources and possibly encouraging more migrants to take risky journeys across the Channel in hopes of securing similar benefits. These demonstrations often include protests that turn unruly, with some individuals throwing objects at police or engaging in destructive behavior.
While some see the protests as justified expressions of frustration, others condemn the violence and believe it undermines the legitimacy of their cause. Many note that this crisis appears to have worsened under the current Labour government, although it was present under previous Tory administrations as well.
