    So you and your family would be perfectly happy to stay and fight a barbaric cult like isis?. Or would you try and take those you love to a better place that says they are fighting these barbarians?. Not everyone is capable of killing for their beliefs, which it seems you are advocating

    Not meaning to sound insensitive, totally understand people fleeing a war zone looking for a safe place to survive…BUT…trying to get to England…WTF…stay in France. They should be looked after at the boarders of Europe rather than FREE FOR ALL to transit where ever they want. Calais Camp should be abandoned and those there brought to a European transit location nearer to Syria so that they can go home.

    @dogmas1507……..Have they tried Saudi Arabia,Qatar,UAE.,Oman, Bahrain or Kuwait? These countries are richer than we are and SA already has fully serviced apts. in Tent City made up for 3,000,000 persons. And they’ll feel at home with the Islamic Ideology. Why they insisting on gate-crashing into Europe? Why haven’t these Sharia states opened up to their own Muslim fanatics.?
    Is it because that they understand exactly that this is a great Muslim Hijrah/Religious Migration that they have helped orchestrate with the view of conquering Europe for Mohammedanism?
    I think it is.

    Refugees? Why not call them what they are? They are migrants who have thrown Frances offer of food, warm shelter and sanitation back in their face. Instead they want to force their way into the UK by imtimidating truck drivers and putting truckers and transport companies livelihoods in danger by stowawaying on trucks. Then the likes of Jude Law and the rest of the celebrity muppets whine on about their “plight” while getting a good photo op. I wonder would those same idiots like to drive through Calais at night and get rocks thrown at them? I had to laugh though at Jude Law’s security team getting mugged while they were there. At least it answers the question of where these illigal migrants are getting their iPhones!

    Christ almighty, the summer is going to make the 12th in the North look like a picnic. There will be widespread rioting in camps across the continent from Calais to Corfu. And god knows what tricks the new migrants in Germany will get up to this summer.

    This is getting out of hand and still Merkel wags the finger at the likes of Greece and Austria who are literally trying to hold back the hordes.

    Finger printing is the difference of potential deportation or relocation, but to where!
    We are only ‘keyboards in the air’ as we do not know what they have gone through nor going through. All we know is that it is bloody cold outside and no one should be subjected to this, I wouldn’t let me dogs sleep outside in this weather yet alone dismantle their dog pound.

    We (as a collective) agreed for a EC, to safeguard us and help others, and at the first major hurdle it has failed, therefore collaborative directive action needs to be taken to remove them and put them closer to the boarders of Europe in a safe manner. Realistically, I am surprised at the UK government not stepping up to the mark and relocating them themselves since as they have the ability. As why is Russia involved?

    however, it’s just not worth sending western troops over to fight there wars for them.
    The west did not cause this, that is Arab victim mentality seeping into liberal thinking once again.
    These people have been constantly fighting each other since the beginning of recorded history, playing on your western guilt is just another tool used by cowards.
