What Lochie is suggesting isn't a solution at all...its just kicking the can down the road a bit. If the conditions in the countries that these people are coming from isn't addressed and improved, they will continue to arrive in Europe, for ever more.
It isn't just Calais that has a problem. These people are travelling all over Europe. Not all of them are trying to get into Britain, although you would never guess that from what is being said in our Media. Some of them have been re-settled in other European countries, Germany and Sweden amongst others.
Its a European problem and we have the ideal mechanism in the European Parliament to deal with it. Everybody needs to get off their behinds and find a long-term solution.
We were celebrating the life of Nicholas Winton recently. He was responsible for rescuing nearly 10,000, mainly Jewish children from the gas chambers of Nazi Germany. He had great difficulty is persuading countries to take these children in, especially America. If he was alive today and he was trying to rescue children from war-ravaged parts of the world, its unlikely that he would ever have got the modern version of Kindertransport off the ground in the first place.
