Omar left Kurdistan and paid a smuggler $15,000 (£12,000) to get him to Britain. He was there for 20 months, suffered a stroke, failed to gain asylum.

He ended up paying a smuggler £500 to get him out of Britain and back to this squalid camp in France.

Based on the Government's Rwanda law, Omar feared being deported and that led him to leave the country, he says ''Britain is not what people think it is'.

  • I don’t understand. If they are so impoverished in their own country, how do they have $15,000 to pay the smugglers to get them to Britain? An average British person would not have $15,000!
  • @lesleywhibley
    The money we are paying france should be refunded.
  • Well played Omar, spread the word around, we are not a haven for bogus asylum seekers. 👏🏻👏🏻
  • @dolan4709
    The " refugees " have a lot of money to pay for the passage. Wow. 😮
  • @alanmorley4556
    We need the British Navy to start pushing these boats back
  • I think successive governments deserve some credit. After all it’s their hard work that made the U.K. undesirable once seen.
  • @simongreen3120
    hate the tories, but I have to admit this policy does seem to have worked. But hang on, where are the French Police? The UK is paying millions to get them to stop the boats!
  • @HASHTAGHADUKEN
    The fact that sky and the government think we believe this story is hilarious.
  • @brianf3207
    I don’t blame him, the U.K. is the toilet of Europe. Once my mortgage is paid I’m off.
  • @jamessmith84240
    How are people with "nothing" paying 15 grand to smugglers? I live here working my sack off and I don't have 15 grand! This whole thing is a piss take.
  • @John-wt8bp
    I don’t understand why they don’t arrest the people smugglers when they’re in plain sight? They must know who they are? they can monitor them with drones and surveillance when they push the boats out, then arrest them and use the data and pictures they collected as evidence and lock them up.
  • @Imfat8888
    the one person who was paid 3k and volunteered to go to Rwanda is missing, they can not find him anywhere,
  • @TheStorm270

    Economic migrants entering illegally. And then rewarded by our own government.
