/// Mr Cameron should consider that of all the countries in the Europe, Britain has the longest established tradition of offering sanctuary to refugees from war and oppression. ///

Yes but these have been fellow Europeans, and why have we been able to that? It is the fact that we have in the past fought and died to defend our lands, so as to keep our country free from invasion.

Why should we give up all this now?

Svejk, that's not the first time I've seen reports of people masquerading as youngsters.

[Svejk]

Gness should be careful.

There are some here who masquerade as Adults !! :-)

[naomi24]

Retrocop, I had noticed. ;o)

[Svejk]

Aww, don't be like that. ;-)

[naomi24]

Haaa!

Spot on fender.

No, there's enough problems here as it is, " Heartless" far from it.

Nothing to do with actually having witnessed the specific situation with children in Calais for themselves then - unlike, I would hazard a guess, anybody commenting here ...

I don't know why journalists bother going all over the world to report stuff. We already know all the answers before they've typed a single word.

[Baldric]

When it has a direct affect on the UK as in, yet more dependants on our benefits system, yes, I do have a fair idea what the answer should be.

Ellipsis, // Nothing to do with actually having witnessed the specific situation with children in Calais for themselves then//

I can’t claim to have done that but if it’s of any help to you I have visited refugee camps in the Middle East and witnessed the situation there first hand.

These children are safe – they’re in France. Europe is currently being inundated with what will likely be a never-ending flow of ‘refugees’ and there comes a time when we have to acknowledge that we can’t cure the ills of the world – as much as we’d like to. Common sense must prevail.

erm, excuse me , .... invaded by orphan immigrant children ?

as Stalin once said * " how many divisions do they have ? "
* about the Pope but what the hell

and well once there WAS a children's crusade .... didnt work very well and they ended up as slaves apparently and it was 1212

Naomi, I agree with your arguments when it applies to the adults in France. When it comes to the unaccompanied children, we can discuss until the cows come home who should and shouldn't be taking responsibility for those children. In the meantime, the children suffer. I believe we should do our bit to stop that.

[Peter Pedant]

// These children are safe – they’re in France.//

like well you know that because you visited camps in the middle east ?

yeah like rent boys in piccadilly circus ( aka the meat rack ) are safe coz they are in London and you know this because you visited skeggy once ?
blaaaarp - irony klaxon goes......

[Old_Geezer]

I think that France could give sanctuary if they wish, after all, they are a safe country and already are hosts to the kids. But reuniting them with their parents is probably the kinder option.

[naomi24]

Ellipsis, and what about when the next group arrive in France .. and the next .. and the next? Where does it end?

[anotheoldgit]

These children are of the Muslim faith and it would be unfair for them not to be brought up by other Muslims.

Still waiting for the The Muslim Council of Britain to step up to the oche with offers of fostering with Muslim families.

Failing that, perhaps those wishing for them to come here would be prepared to take some in?
