http://lci.tf1.fr/france/faits-divers/operation-de-police-pour-evacuer-le-campement-de-migrants-de-8616289.html

done for reasons of "conditions d'hygiène très dégradées"

how much of a step is it from this, to "just step into this shower"?......

[bazwillrun]

As long as they havent cleared them anywhere near here !

Surely you are not comparing the French government's attempt to prevent some epidemic due to poor sanitation with the Nazi Gas chambers are you ?

They can't send them to Calais. (or can they?)

So, to avoid appearing to be Nazis, the French authorities have to allow large tracts of their land to be used as open cess pits by people who have no right to be there? Right.

Anyway, leaving that hysteria aside, it is a waste of time. They will simply reassemble somewhere else. And they will continue to do so until France withdraws from the Schengen Agreement and properly polices its borders.

retrocop, I think he is.

just asking how much of a step is it from sweeping aside an inconvenience (and that's what it must be, since an equally insanitary - but out of sight of high spending tourists - camp has existed in Calais for some years now) to something darker. the germans were, after all, a cultured nation that permitted their government to take them to bad places.

For the benefit of English speaking ABers.

Mushroom, That's not a step - it's a gigantic leap that won't happen.

A ridiculous comparison.Are the French supposed to allow these immigrants to live in unsanitary conditions and create public health problems to the community at large.They have more right to dismantle these hovels than the people who inhabit them have the right to be in France in the first place.
It says at the end of the link that these displaced squatters are rehoused in more sanitary conditions so there appears nothing NAZI about this perfectly justifiable action.What business is it of ours to criticise.The French have created their own problems by having porous borders.

Quite right.

neither DB - at the time i posted it, the only english version was from the daily mail.

which i'm sure you'll agree would have been dismissed as lies - or worse.

La Chappelle is a dump at the best of times. At least the French have les couilles to do something about it.

[Retrochic]

divebuddy -it was not a foreign language to me lol!

[Retrochic]

Well not that different really - its like saying an American would not understand English spoken in the UK -a few different words and sayings but basically the same.

[mushroom25]

DB, I didn't say this is the start of anything.

I asked.

I asked, "how much of a step"...
