Now that these police states have imploded, it’s as if Europe’s outer defences, its barbican, had, like Crac des Chevaliers itself, crumbled. As a result, the victims of the war and lawlessness of the Middle East head to Europe to escape, as do refugees from Eritrea and Somalia...This won’t happen while politicians conflate the two distinct issues of migration and refugees, and frame every debate in terms of harm. That makes it impossible to search for consensus around a constructive and compassionate solution. Yet until such a conversation begins, there will continue to be, just across the English Channel, a shameful blot on our moral landscape.
