She said: “There was a Union Jack flag there and I spoke to the amazing volunteers from a charity who are trying to deal with it.
“The people sat there. We all are British and would all be able to fill these forms. And we’re British! This is an extremely sad situation. Priti, she doesn’t want immigration. Although I’m not politically inclined, it has made me very cross.”
Amanda slammed the government for leading with paperwork that requests refugees to state their financial situation and income.
