Although the BBC is saying they are being moved to containers on another part of the site the Channel 4 news item I saw on this last week said they're also being moved around the country.
This combined with the plan to extend the tunnel to the terminal itself, removing the open gaps that migrants are trying to break though, should quell the immediate problem at our own borders.
God knows what the long term solution to the amount of migrants turning up at Europe's borders are though. Schengen breaking down is a good thing in my mind. I don't see why you can't have visa-less travel across Europe whilst simply having border controls inbetween the nations. |
Because that's too simple? We're dealing with Eurocrats here remember and they don't like admitting their ludicrous open borders, single state/currency, one size fits all policy is fundamentally flawed. They're like lemmings singlemindedly bringing about their own demise.
People make me laugh when they talk about border checks as some sort of personal affront. Given the state of the world we're living in the notion of free movement is more deluded now than ever it was. It makes me laugh that you have to go through all sorts of checks to get on a plane here yet a terrorist can gain entry into the EU via some porous border in the East, then travel to virtually anywhere in the EU without necessarily being stopped and asked a few questions. How much easier do we want to make it for criminals, terrorists and sundry undesirables etc. to ply their trade?
What people need to realise here is that the effects of this migration tidal wave are going to be irreversible. The only question is to what extent and the larger the numbers, the bigger the problems will be. We've seen this in parts of the UK which have seen huge and rapid migrant influxes. Those places have been changed forever and nobody was asked what they thought about it. The same is now happening in large parts of Europe. The Eurocrats don't give a damn about what mere people think or the 'collateral damage' their policies cause to communities, towns, cities or even nations. They lurch from one crisis to another as Europe implodes still in complete denial about the damage they've done.
