Good point. Not sure how easy it is in France but they do have ID cards so that might help.
Either way someone needs to take leadership and deal with this problem. We're saying they're in France so it's France's problem and they're saying they want to get to Britain so it's our problem as both sides do token gestures while the camps sit there and more travel across Europe to get to it.
Something needs to be done but what that is clearly stumps both Governments. Ideally France would better control the borders but that seems unrealistic given the size of it and they would need to break out of the cross-border deal they have with other EU nations.
