Word will spread very quickly and you can bet the numbers will soon rise dramatically. The same happens every time a new route across borders is discovered. As harsh as it seems the only way to stop this happening is to take these people straight back to where they came from but that's not a decision many people would feel comfortable with and would become progressively difficult.

My worry is that as the numbers increase, as they inevitably will, it will get to the point where the only way to stop places being overwhelmed will be the use of force. That's a scenario nobody wants to contemplate but it's the awful reality IMHO. Irrespective of what sympathy we have for them, we cannot allow the EU to be effectively 'stormed' by countless people from around the globe who are simply desperate to come here.
