Same here. Last year, we watched a lorry coming round a bend on a slip road near Calais - probably doing around 15/20 mph - and there were young lads chasing the lorry, presumably trying to jump on to it. What with the crappy traffic heading to both Dover and Calais and immigrants running around in the Autoroute, we decided to go Plymouth-Roscoff this year. Much more civilisedlaugh

The sooner individual border controls are re-instated the better.
I know what Schengen is. I also know it had little to do with the crisis. Even before the agreement border controls within the EU where only on major roads. There where many minor roads where you could cross, and there was no barriers on the miles of countryside which make up the borders.

The EU internal borders are just to long to police. As for the Hungarian fence it's not going to be patrolled so one set of wire cutters and your across.

Controlled and targeted migration can only ever be a good thing in my opinion.

These chumps working their way into the country by hook or by crook is not that however, and they should be arrested right away upon their illegal entry, if they don't comply regarding their country of origin so they can be deported they should be imprisoned, indefinitely or until they comply, in my opinion.

Of course a big hurdle will be finding them in the first place - how many simply vanish into the black market/economy? I would be willing to bet a fair number of them do.

You only need look at UK employment/unemployment figures to realise we still need (the right) immigrant talent.

You only need to read my post to know that I agree with that, particularly the first part.

Why?

Because employment is at an all time high? Maybe trade some of that for real quality of life. The South East is becoming a congested st hole. Do we want to concrete over open spaces? Do we want landlords building structures in back gardens so a three bed semi can house twenty people

Indeed, where the f... are they all going to go? This constant barage in the media that we need immigration is not good. Do you ever look at the south east of the uk, roads in gridlock, schools and hospital bursting and say enough? Let alone are we building 300,000 homes a year? And i wouldnt be surprised if theres another 100k or so if not more that we dont know about. There seems to be an obsession that business growth and GDP usurps quality of life, think long and hard about that. Quality of life is seriously being erroded.

hehe


You would think that Britain being an island and having the best border patrol in the world would somehow make drugs and guns hard to get in this country,importing child sex slaves and exporting stolen cars is clearly non existent here. Our border force is perfect, those pesky lazy europeans aint got a clue on what it means to be best at protecting borders hehe

You seem very, very simple

Surely if the Italians want to run a ferry service for these refugees from Libya to the EU, it is their problem.

They should register them, and process their application for asylum, which would do away with having thousands of people in Calais living with no legal status.

They could be deemed Italian and then we have somewhere to deport them to.

If they were 'Italian' you couldn't deport them! Not yet anyway.

Looks like that action is going to cause trouble for drivers leaving the Eurotunnel and heading north, say to the Nurburgring.

bks.
