I know it's a right wing thing to say that but if you don't ask the questions it's only going to be the right wing who have answers. I bet it's a mix of too little information and a lot of
rumours and myths about the UK that the people who take the boats are told.
I don't think most of them risk their lives to live in a mouldy home in poverty.

i did not know you'd gone through the asylum pathway, i drew from the tone of your post being a common right wing dog whistle that i reacted a little too quickly too. apologies.
as others have highlighted there are many reasons someone might risk the trip accross the channel, even with the barriers you highlight. especially those who are travelling solo or are younger.
