2 What checks are the Italians and French supposed to have carried out? These people did not pass through any border controls.
And there you have it in one, the EU is a giant free for all for whoever wants to just wander in, be they friend of foe. Its nuts with the current state of the world and its seemingly endless supply of nutters wanting to blow things up and kill people. Europeans did not ask for any of this, its all been created by idiot politicians, the only ones with any common sense appear to be Hungary who dont appear bothered with an abundance of hand wringers and have built a rather large wall.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.

Serious question..........what happens to them once dismantled?Jimboka said:
Why not just stop crossings to Calais over the winter for example. Those in the camp will soon disappear. If the problem moves elsewhere- repeat
I'm not sure theres the capacity elsewhere to cover it, is there? You do realise just how much freight goes through dont you? Perhaps if it was done in a managed fasion, but not if people just went where they felt like.oyster said:

This is 100% a British problem. These migrants don't come to Calais because it's in France.It's amazing that the French have the front to think that there monumental balls up is the fault of the UK!

Looks like we are building a wall.
"Construction is soon to begin on a "big new wall" in Calais following a surge in the number migrants trying to get across the Channel, the Government has announced.
The 13ft (4m) concrete barrier will be funded by Britain, at a cost of £2m, and will stretch over a half a mile (1km) along the main dual carriageway approaching the ferry port. Work is expected to begin as soon as this month"

Why will this not simply shift the problem 1km down the road to the end of the wall?"Construction is soon to begin on a "big new wall" in Calais following a surge in the number migrants trying to get across the Channel, the Government has announced.

Francois Hollande in Tours today.
The Jungle will be broken up (sounds like he means pretty soon)
Occupants will be relocated to refugee centres around France, and given 4 months to claim asylum if not then to be deported.
Only for more to walk in as France has no border controls other than with us. The Jungle will be broken up (sounds like he means pretty soon)

Until the idiots at the top of the EU (who are STILL banging on that open borders wont change) realise it cannot stay like this, this problem will carry or, until another country decides theyve had enough and then maybe with two big countries leaving the idiots might wake up.
I fear the only way that will happen will be an attrocity on a scale above what weve seen in France, will be the only way that happens, unless the French make changes on a scale we saw with UKip in their elections.
