French police begin dismantling Calais migrant ‘Jungle’
Euronews

FRANCE -- French police have moved into the so-called “Jungle” in Calais to begin dismantling part of the migrant camp.

At the weekend the authorities toured the area urging residents to leave, following a court decision on Thursday approving a government plan to clear the southern part of the shanty town.

On Friday the French government, which has vowed to carry out the order humanely, said some 500 extra places would be made available in reception centres for those displaced.

The activist group Calais Migrant Solidarity, which believes in “free movement for all”, reported on Monday morning that people were being threatened with arrest if they did not leave.

Thousands of migrants and refugees, many fleeing war and poverty in Africa, Afghanistan and the Middle East, have converged on the northern French port seeking to reach Britain.

The order by a court in Lille follows concern over the camp’s squalid conditions, and security – migrants have clashed with police and tried to board lorries approaching the port.

But many migrants are reluctant to leave, afraid that they will be detained or documented.

Covering this a couple of days ago the BBC reported from an alternative camp in Dunkirk and interviewed an Iraqi Kurd who made it clear England was his preferred destination.

He explained how he intended try and get his family, including young daughters, to England by hiding on lorries and a sympathetic BBC reporter spoon fed questions about the dangers etc especially for the girls.

At no time was anything said about him being in France illegally or trying to enter Britain illegally etc.

Such questions seem to be a major No No for the BBC and their sympathetic sob story policy.

Today they are showing a migrant in the Jungle explaining how he doesn't want to move out or basically co-operate in any way as he refuses to be fingerprinted or documented because it will stop him being able to move anywhere else he chooses.

Still Merkel and great humanitarian Juncker refuse to consider they chaos they have created.

And here's another photo from the Daily Mail. Get real, even if YOU are a hard-hearted man, you'd pay a fiver for a big bag of sausage and chips for them, if you reckoned it would reduce whatever pain they're going through. You would, who wouldn't ???

Looking at the material on u-tube about the behaviour on the trucking lanes in that area the authorities are quite right about the dismantling.

However that does not make the problem going away.

Only answer to this unsolvable problem is to create a safe heaven in the ME. This will also weed out the opportunists.

Moslims and christians don't mix. So........

A dangerous division among Europeans and the throning of an idiot in the US is too high of a prize to pay for political correctness.

More confrontations at Calais migrant camp after bulldozers move in



- More confrontations at Calais camp
- Save the Children condemn forced clearance
- French government see camp demolition as humanitarian action

CALAIS: -- There were more clashes late Monday evening in northern France as some migrants continued to protest against the clearance of part of the shanty town known as the Jungle which lies outside Calais.

Riot police were on hand even though dismantling the camp was temporarily suspended Monday afternoon – it is set to resume today (March 1).

Earlier on Monday demolition teams had moved onto the site where about 4,000 migrants wanting to get to the UK have been staying. The action came after a judge in Lille ruled last Thursday that a partial clearance should go ahead, apart from social spaces, including schools and places of worship. About 100 homes have so far been dismantled.

Thousands of migrants fleeing war and poverty, from Afghanistan to Syria have converged on the northern port over the past year.

Several arrests were made on Monday – some of those detained are activists from the UK-based “No Borders” group.

Save the Children have criticised clearing the camp saying it will “make what was already an appalling situation for children even worse”.

The French authorities want to relocate people from the squalid, rat-infested site to heated containers nearby or to centres around the country. But campaigners say there is not enough new accommodation and many migrants have refused fearing they’ll be forced to claim asylum in France instead of the UK which is their preferred destination.

Do they get more "free stuff" in the UK?

"The activist group Calais Migrant Solidarity, which believes in “free movement for all”, reported...."

They're going to make fantastic consumers:

This is not a matter concerning refugees, this is a planned invasion, and should be viewed as such

Isn't that the obvious solution then?

Round them up with riot police and/or the army, document their identity with everything there is, fingerprints, footprints, DNA, retina scans, voice samples, and explain to them it's is either asylum in France (should actually have been Greece or Italy) now, or it's nothing, Britain would deport them back quicker than they can say "asylum" after that.
