EU Law is pretty clear. First safe country, end of.

[scooping]

EU law means nothing in this context. Not enforced. Also not fair on countries like Italy, baring the brunt. This is why we must control our own borders, why people voted to leave the EU.

[Zubar]

Immigrants are wlecome if they are law abiding and work, but we don't need workshy people and villains! We have enough of those in this country now...!

[scooping]

Can anyone seriously say we shouldn't control our own borders? We can let in a few or many, let in families or not, let in those with jobs or not. We should decide.

[ToraToraTora]

only the anti British Scooping. Sadly we have a lot of those.

[anotheoldgit]

The country and it's infrastructure cannot take in any more.

The maximum of these are not refugees but economic migrants.

Why are they not back where they came from, building up their own countries?

[scooping]

anotholdgit: Because they can't survive in their own countries.

[anotheoldgit]

scooping
And they will never learn to, while the civilised countries keep bailing them out.

[Baldric]

Economic Migrants not Refugees, we neither need nor want them.

[tamborine]

Jezza would luv em....for all their votes

[fender62]

Not me. They are not obeying the rules to live in France. They should have stayed in the country they landed in. I am very surprised that the French are being as lenient as they are in dispersing these people. What they do causes chaos as it is. A small town near to where I used to live has had about 50 young men (who don't speak French) dumped on them.

TTT we are about to leave the EU ! so it will soon no longer be a EU problem. The feeling in France is that once we are out of the EU they can just send them to the EU border which will be Dover as Macon the new French president has hinted !

[Togo]

Errr wrong again Eddie, the border will be half way across the channel .

[New Judge]

"The feeling in France is that once we are out of the EU they can just send them to the EU border which will be Dover as Macon the new French president has hinted !"

I think we've done this once or twice (or twenty times) before, Eddie. Just to expand a bit, how do you imagine France will "send them to the EU border" (which, as Togo points out, will be halfway across the channel)?

[New Judge]

And I meant to add - even if the "Le Touquet" Agreement is revoked (which is most unlikely).

I once came back to UK by ferry from St. Malo. This journey entailed a stop-off at Jersey. The ferry anchored off-shore and customs officers came aboard by boat. Those wanting to disembark showed passports etc. and went off by boat the short distance to the harbour.
Other passports were also checked (not sure why).

Some system such as this could be devised mid-channel if necessary due to some sort of idiocy by France. Otherwise, all papers would be checked on the ferry prior to disembarking in UK. Any illegals would be ferried back - presumably under guard.
