"What it will almost certainly do is remove our border control on the French side of the channel and encourage the French authorities to literally wave them through as quick as they can. Then the first chance we get to stop them will be on UK soil and it's too late then, they are already here. " You see, that is one of David Cameron's first scare stories, this agreement was made with France a long time ago and will remain whether we are in or out of the EU Far too much scare mongering and far too many PC brigade | |||

How do we know coming out will stop the situation? | |||

" You see, that is one of David Cameron's first scare stories, this agreement was made with France a long time ago and will remain whether we are in or out of the EU" I don't know that it will stay in place, and neither do you. I can see no reason the French would want it to. Can you (or anyone, I am undecided and open to persuasion) explain how leaving the EU will stop people in Calais trying to enter the country illegally? | |||

"If your so keen, you take them in feed clothe them" This does seem to be the new retort for the live and let die brigade. Probably the same people who drone on about Britain first then do nothing for fellow countrymen. | |||

"Demolition teams are due to return to the French port of Calais to dismantle more makeshift shelters in the migrant camp known as the "Jungle". Overnight, riot police fired tear gas at migrants who were hurling stones at the demolition squads and Lorries traveling past Those living in the camp, mainly from the Middle East, Afghanistan and Africa, hope to cross the Channel to the UK, often using people traffickers to try to enter illegally French media say about 150 people, some wielding sticks and iron bars, walked on to the road to block vehicles and we can all see on the news this morning as the approach lorries and vehicles throwing stones and iron bars These are not Asylum Seekers, these are simply scum that need deporting back to where they came from, they have no interest in seeking asylum on first port of call or first border or indeed France, and they want to illegally enter the UK. I have absolutely no sympathy for them whilst they risk the lives of innocent lorry drivers and authorities, they need controlled with an iron fist Another reason we need to get out of the EU, of course the PC brigade I am sure will all line up and welcome each and every one of them a room in there home" leaving the EU is not going to stop this, but the French, who have drafted in hundreds of riot police will NOT need to be deployed if we leave. The only thing will that will happen is that the jungle will move to Dover! They will be coming over in boats like they are in Greece - then what do we do? As NF said on Sunday we have to have strong government - so I suppose we shell them and sink their boats? As he knows only too well, he will never be in a position to make important decisions! The people of Thanet saw through him, lets hope the country can! | |||

If we can rip up an agreement why can't they? "PC" brigade - nothing to do with it! Suggest you read a little more"independent" material & not UKIP propaganda. For example did you know Nige has had over 2 million in expense's during his tenure as an MEP? | |||

We were lucky by birth. Lucky that we were born here and not somewhere else. The scum you refer to are people. People who've watched their families blown apart by bombs. Watched their children die from the chemical weapons their own government used against them because they had the audacity to speak out against the government. Those scrum are fathers, mothers, daughters and sons who have no home, no food, no hope and we in the uk offer that hope. The real problem we face in he world today is to dehumanise people. These are people who want to work and look for hope. There are doctors, engineers, vets, builders and many more over qualified people who were caught up in a war that they had no choice in.

"Calais won't be affected by the backing out of the EU. that's a French/ British agreement. France have a vested interest in that border being tight. If they don't keep up the border control there will only be more migrants moving through and probably being stuck in France in their hope to get to the UK" That's a very good point. | |||

As it stands there's still many people coming into France to get to the UK so what would actually change this? France come out the EU too? | |||

( to UK) In or out of the EU, they will still aim for UK. Of course, if the UK were to tighten up their residence laws, and benefit laws, to the same levels as the European (EU) laws, then UK would be slightly less attractive. Most other EU countries follow EU guidelines on residence and benefit, so it is much more difficult to obtain permanent residence there. | |||

We changed our minds why shouldn't the French? As stated migrants from Syria, Iraq & other parts of the world arrive. They arrived somewhere in Europe but finished up in Calais! The French don't make it easy for foreigners - you speak in French - most speak English so maybe that is a reason for heading to the UK? To be honest the French public don't really care if the UK stay in or out. You just got to see the vehicles at the ports traveling to UK - mainly English returning not masses of European's visiting. Trade is what its all about. France exports only 4.5% of its GDP, Germany 9.7% insignificant numbers. If London loses it's market importance in services & banking (78%) of our GDP both Paris & Frankfurt will be delighted. Its all about risk, and what level your comfortable with. | |||

" I don't think the EU is the issue with the immigration, most of the issue is we make it far to easy for people to come and claim here. Very few that could me here are fleeing of political asylum and those that do seldom return, some because they have built a life by working hard and some because they have everything given free. As someone else said we need to make it tougher and less attractive to be in the emigrate to the UK unless you're willing to contribute | |||

"I wouldn't say my preferred choice was Syrians. I care little about the country someone was born. Rather their attitude to life and if they are looking to make a contribution to a decent society. I don't think having a dislike of chavs is dehumanising them in anyway. Just my preference based on experience. I don't think I've deprived them of human qualities. Just that my preference would be someone else. " never once have you mentioned the lorry drivers who are getting stones and iron bars thrown at them, I take it you consider that is okay, perhaps if a chav throws a brick at your windscreen you will also think that is okay People should abide by the law regardless of circumstances. | |||

" You see, that is one of David Cameron's first scare stories, this agreement was made with France a long time ago and will remain whether we are in or out of the EU I don't know that it will stay in place, and neither do you. I can see no reason the French would want it to. " It's not an agreement, it's a treaty... the Treaty of Ke Touquet of 2003. And, just like the 'treaty' that Mr Cameron agreed with the EU recently, it is lodged at the UN, and is legally binding, so the French have no choice but to stick to it.... Or are you saying that a treaty can be reneged on? In which case, Mr Cameron's victorious renegotiation of our membership in the EU is meaningless... | |||

London is the financial capital of the world because it's the most bent, it's got nothing to do with being in Europe. Of course none of this matters to me... What I want is an answer on how many people are going to come here in let's say ten years time?. Is it 5 million more 10,20!! It's no good telling me how much better off I'll be without also giving me an idea of how cramped and crap services will get! Let's say population goes up by ten million in ten years(that's factoring in Turkey entering) How much will that cost in terms of new schools, new roads, new power stations, new hospitals, what effect will that do to housing, countryside, national parks, food requirements?. I've been thinking the same...every public service you hear about seems to be at breaking point now...god knows how it will be in 5...10 years time." those cuts really have very little to do with EU nationals. The Tories just don't care about services for mental health ...etc there target audience doesn't care about those services. | |||

"Calais won't be affected by the backing out of the EU. that's a French/ British agreement. France have a vested interest in that border being tight. If they don't keep up the border control there will only be more migrants moving through and probably being stuck in France in their hope to get to the UK I'd hope this is the case but I'd also like to see some sort of agreement that this would be the case if we do come out of the EU. As it stands there's still many people coming into France to get to the UK so what would actually change this? France come out the EU too? The agreement is already in place and has been for years. Imagine. They remove the border and they attempt to get through the tunnels. The tunnels would be locked and passage between the UK and France stops. France do not want more people coming through. It causes them enough problems as is. If that border is removed and it is easier then more will come and France will have to deal with all those migrants but on a much larger scale. The challenges faced there will already put some off. a lot of assumptions here. There is an agreement in place with the UK/France now but, if we leave will it remain and why should it? We changed our minds why shouldn't the French? As stated migrants from Syria, Iraq & other parts of the world arrive. They arrived somewhere in Europe but finished up in Calais! The French don't make it easy for foreigners - you speak in French - most speak English so maybe that is a reason for heading to the UK? To be honest the French public don't really care if the UK stay in or out. You just got to see the vehicles at the ports traveling to UK - mainly English returning not masses of European's visiting. Trade is what its all about. France exports only 4.5% of its GDP, Germany 9.7% insignificant numbers. If London loses it's market importance in services & banking (78%) of our GDP both Paris & Frankfurt will be delighted. Its all about risk, and what level your comfortable with. .

I've been thinking the same...every public service you hear about seems to be at breaking point now...god knows how it will be in 5...10 years time." It was reported on the news today that 1 in 4 children now cannot get their first choice in school places, or parents cannot get their first choice of school for their kids. This is happening NOW TODAY while we are members of the EU. We now have net immigration figures of 350,000 per year, every year and that figure will only increase if we remain a member of the EU. Reason why is the EU free movement of people so we cannot control the number of EU migrants coming here and once the minimum wage goes upto the living wage the draw and incentive for EU migrants to come here will increase so the total number coming will increase. Only way to regain control of our borders is to leave the EU. We just don't have the infrastructure, schools, hospitals, GP surgeries, roads, housing, etc to keep having 350,000 people (and rising) every year into our country. We are already trying to play catch up with infrastructure as it is! This is just basic logic, we have limited space with limited resources. | |||

Is what I'm (unrealistically) suggesting: A new Marshall Plan. If you want to stem the flow of migrants/refugees you need to create the type of prosperous society that would make people want to stay. | |||

" Me views regarding the middle East and the devastions clumsy Western meddling has reeked so far.. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein They unfortunately will probably have to suffer and die for lasting change, stability and prosperity ; consequently through doing so realise the value of a free, open and democratic society with a statehood unaffiliated with organised religion. They cannot grasp those concepts and have any real reverence for them without enduring the associated hardships and personal sacrifices. Ordinary European peoples were not handed rights or freedoms, they had to fight and die for them at every turn. These people will have to do the same. Unfortunately a to shape there own stability and futures. These people need to make change within their own homelands and cultures.. Moving to Europe will not solve anything or help them. | |||

"also only 1% of britain's total available land is developed, and leaving the EU won't help us gain the infrastructure you claim is failing because of migrants when really it's failing because of tory cuts and class warfare - uh - I mean "gentrification" " Do the math on population density. Excluding principalities (Monoco for instance), England (not the UK) is the 2nd most densely populated country in europe (after holland). Not many migrants go to live in the highlands of scotland it would appear. | |||

Is it fair on them if all these migrants settled and seek asylum in there country seeing that Greece never went into Iraq ,Afghanistan and didn't bomb Syria? | |||

"i always thought it was first safe country, but all these people who are so concerned about them why dont let them use any spare bedrooms in their houses, or if they have big garden pitch a few tents" So are you saying the middle East is not a world crisis and Western nations have nothing to do with it? And also if Greece is their first port of call, then tough titties it's over to them? | |||

"Demolition teams are due to return to the French port of Calais to dismantle more makeshift shelters in the migrant camp known as the "Jungle". Overnight, riot police fired tear gas at migrants who were hurling stones at the demolition squads and Lorries traveling past Those living in the camp, mainly from the Middle East, Afghanistan and Africa, hope to cross the Channel to the UK, often using people traffickers to try to enter illegally French media say about 150 people, some wielding sticks and iron bars, walked on to the road to block vehicles and we can all see on the news this morning as the approach lorries and vehicles throwing stones and iron bars These are not Asylum Seekers, these are simply scum that need deporting back to where they came from, they have no interest in seeking asylum on first port of call or first border or indeed France, and they want to illegally enter the UK. I have absolutely no sympathy for them whilst they risk the lives of innocent lorry drivers and authorities, they need controlled with an iron fist Another reason we need to get out of the EU, of course the PC brigade I am sure will all line up and welcome each and every one of them a room in there home" hehe sorry but their are not many people who would invite someone into their home they didn't know or couldn't converse with I wouldn't its getting out of control ,people who obviously are in desperate situations are offered a chance to better their lives in Europe or here that's great they deserve that chance but at the expense of those that already live here ,I personally think that's wrong but nothing's ever down to us ,we have to sit back and suffer the consequences of bad decisions ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||
