Rewulf Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 It would seem the residents of the Jungle at Calais are not impressed about having to move from their filthy tent camp to a more secure,cleaner area (where a lot are already living) that has been made by the French to accommodate them. They are apparently worried,and literally up in arms that, they may be asked to apply for asylum in ...France. Is there no justice in this world? Have they not suffered enough? All they want is to get to their 'chosen' destination, the UK. Lucky for them they have 'activists' to protect their err, rights from this heinous crime. You couldnt make it up..

Gordon R Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 You could be forgiven for expecting them to be model citizens, thus demonstrating what they could add to the UK. Sadly, they have shown themselves to be lawless thugs, with little or no regard to the law of the land. They seem to know that they can cause all the trouble that they want and some idiot will still plead their case for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Don't they realise first impressions count, it's that kind of neanderthal behaviour that tars them all with the same brush, genuine or not. The sooner we get a Brexit and the fat controller bricks up the tunnel the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Yep you can see it now large inner-city areas full of these people creating a society within a society and when they are not happy with something they will resort to this type of behaviour, never mind the do-gooders keep telling us we live in a multicultural, integrated, harmonious society so it will be ok.

Dr D Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) So here's the thing. 1. It is a 'rights' issue. But that doesn't mean they have the 'right' to come to the UK. More importantly, for many it is a humanitarian law issue and those who are refugees should be protected at their first stop outside of the relevant war zone. But setting that aside I would worry at the one size fits all judgement! 2. You would need to be blind not to see the unaccompanied children! Surely everyone's humanity would want to protect them? 3. France needs to do more, but so does the UK. After all, we not blameless for the tide sweeping Europe at the minute. 4. Yes there are economic migrants, but there are also people leaving the above situation and they sure as hell arn't fleeing simply for the 'good life'. Sometimes the simplistic rubbish spouted is beyond belief. Edited March 1, 2016 by Dr D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to be blind not to see the unaccompanied children! Surely everyone's humanity would want to protect them? So why dont the French put them into care? How did they become unaccompanied ,did their parents leave them there whilst they clung to the underside of a lorry for their dash to 'freedom' Or did they trek alone all the way from wherever they came from? There is probably more to this than it appears. 3. France needs to do more, but so does the UK. After all, we not blameless for the tide sweeping Europe at the minute. Why ,what did we do? 4.

No, they are economic migrants,or they wouldnt be cherry picking the country they wish to claim asylum in.

Sometimes the simplistic rubbish spouted is beyond belief. Just because a child is not with an adult when a picture is taken doesn't make it unaccompanied, esp as a lot of photo's and videos are manipulated by the media. Why does France and the UK need to do more ? saying we are not blameless isn't a reason for us to take them in. You could say we helped them for years keeping the peace and once we gave them what they wanted they couldn't keep it. If they were fleeing the warzone then it would be families with children making up the vast majority of those running away, they are coming here for the "good life ", Over 80% of these migrants are young males, if they were fleeing the situation then those males would be trying to keep their families safe and together or staying behind to try and make their country safe again for their families to return, I believe if they aren't willing to fight for their own country ( no matter if they fight for Assad or against him in Syria's case ) then they don't deserve to live in mine.

UKPoacher Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Regards point 3 We, 'The West' contributed to this by destroying the power base in Iraq and Afghanistan amongst other places. We created the power vacuum in those areas that have been filled with ISIS. However, many of these so-called refugees are not from war torn countries, but are people seeking a better life elsewhere. The problem is sorting those from the genuine displaced war refugees. The other major point is that good ol' Uncle Sam was complicit in this up to their red necks. But I don't think they'll be keen to accept their fair share of war refugees somehow. Especially if Trump gets in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the simplistic rubbish spouted is beyond belief. So here's the thing you are off topic, the thread its about their reaction to being moved into better conditions and the fact that they will have to give their details to the French authorities thus making it more difficult for them to come to the UK, so what's their reaction to something they don't like??? Also 2. You would need to be blind not to see the unaccompanied children. Same could be said of the hundreds of unaccompanied young men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSpredder Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 When I worked in Africa and Asia, it was easy to spot the poor - they were thin, wearing rags, and with few possessions. The would-be immigrants who feature on every TV new bulletin appear to be better fed than I am, better clothed than I am, and carrying mobile electronic devices that are vastly more expensive than mine. What conclusions should I draw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Ah, gentlemen the dialogue of the deaf is alive and well on PWs as per usual. I respond to only two points and then leave you to it for a bit. It's the children issue. Many are unaccompanied and that is well documented and they are unaccompanied for a whole variety of reasons. Second point, if you have to ask the question 'what did we do?' Then you must be living in a bubble. The middle East has imploded and we 'the west' largely lead by our closest friend 'uncle sam' have been up to our eyes in it. Its all well and good to conduct a 'just war'. But with war comes moral responsibilities. And as I said from the outset, this does not mean I disagree with the economic migrant argument per se. I simply think a moment of reflection before blanket stereotyping would add some balance. Hundreds of thousands of people don't do this lightly. There but for the grace of God my friends.
