Well it is staggering quite just how inept the EU seems to be. Calais aside, this has been going on long enough for them to have come up with some form of credible action but things have been allowed to simmer away nicely with ever increasing numbers tempted to take their chances. It didn't take the brain of Einstein to realise that's what would happen and it doesn't take a genius to work out that unless the authorities get a grip on this situation things will turn very nasty indeed. IMHO it's already be too late to prevent major problems but the more people who're encouraged to come here by the lack of any credible deterrent, the bigger and more protracted the crisis will be. Never mind though because the EU's great at having emergency meetings...
