The French Don't Mess About

[TWR]

The Jungle is getting flattened today under protest from the tribes, they have been offered containers that are warm / Dry, I would offer them nothing.

[ummmm]

You're all heart....

What alternative have France got?

[murraymints]

think it is going to get nasty..don't understand why they can't just take up the offer of half decent, dry and more hygeinic conditions...

[waterboatman]

pack 'em up in crates of ten and ship 'em back.

[TWR]

There's a lot of the same opinion Ummmm if true is known.

[ummmm]

Back to where?

[DTCwordfan]

The French Don't Mess About



How long has the jungle been there?

[ummmm]

According to Wiki the first camp opened in 1999.

It was a rhetorical Q, ummmm.

[ummmm]

I thought I'd save TWR the trouble of looking it up :-)

I bet the French rue the day they closed the Pen on Devil's Island. Ideal warm location.

Murraymints- the reason they don't want to take the better conditions is that they will have to seek asylum in France and of course they all want to get to England.

//they will have to seek asylum in France and of course they all want to get to England. //

can't understand why there have an aversion to a french ID card - once they've got that, they can legally cross the channel any time they want.

From what was said on morning TV today not all the containers are presently ready. They can't all move in at once even if they were willing to. Anyway the cabins just makes things more permanent and will attract more immigrants, given accommodation in Calais is supplied. If they had to provide them then they should be placed at the point of economic migrant entry into France.

To be granted asylum you have to register and go through the process of pleading a case that you are fleeing war and persecution. Why have they not applied for asylum then?? Answers on the back of a stamp.

Mushroom- not sure really but some of the 'residents' were interviewed on the TV and that's what they said (maybe they don't fully understand)

[RATTER15]

mushroom25, possibly, that to get the French ID, they need to state where they came from, they will then be returned there.

//Answers on the back of a stamp.//

the answers will fit. either "i'm from syria" or "i'm an afghan" or if either is provably untrue, "I'm gay".

It has already been decided by an Independent UK based charity,no less, that between 95-97% are economic migrants wanting to get to the UK. They are not refugees entitled to apply for asylum and are thus illegal immigrants in France and should be locked up,as criminals, and deported once their true identity is established. France would be as well to secure her borders first though.
