In la-la land, take a stroll through North Korea @ such places and see if that applies.

You may believe that, but I think you will find that most countries employ some sort of border control.....some much more successfully than others.
There are some countries that you would not wish to stray into, at any price.

No, it is not a waste of pixels or neurones.
You initially posted something which you felt would support your stance on this subject.....but only later(after Gordon had said he couldn't find anything on the Internet about it) you posted a link.
Now you may not mean the comment above to be arrogant and superior, but that is how it comes across.

You really need to remember that some of the older members may not have the skills to search effectively for information.....and if they do not find it at the first attempt, may give up....especially
if they feel the publication quoted it unreliable,biased or some such reason.

If you really want to give weight to your opinion , then do the decent thing and post a link so that we can make our own judgements.

As a postscript to my above post, it is just three weeks since Gordon lost his wife(he cared for her at home for a long time - this leaves a huge hole in his life)....he is coming here to distract him from his loss....he does not need this kind of comment levelled at him.

It didn't look full when I was down there this morning.
And you are being pedantic. This is the UK....we can go where we want within the boundaries of this country.....however, if we wish to travel outside the bounds of this country we have to follow the rules and have documents that give us the freedom to travel.......document which tell the border services of the countries we plan to enter, who we are, where we come from etc.
This is how it is done.
We must also be capable of supporting ourselves during our wanderings.

Re: Migrant Crisis in Calais

I wonder how much of the land of England we actually use.....40%? Not exactly full either.
As for your illegal escapade into town we'll turn a blind eye...this time

Re: Migrant Crisis in Calais

It isn't just a case of space as I am sure you know. It is a case of having the infrastructure, the houses, medical facilities etc all the things that people need to lead productive lives.

Can you imagine someone walking into your house at teatime, sitting down at your table, eating the food you have worked hard to provide, using the home that you saved so hard to get for your family?
This is an analogy that equates to what these illegal migrants are doing.
Now if that sits well with you, then fine. But it does not sit well with me.

We have absolutely no responsibility to these people.
They chose to leave their homeland.

And as for the article in the Guardian, it is calculated emotional blackmail..... There are many women in Eritrea who lose babies......and as cold as this may sound the women accept it as a fact of life...They know they will go on and have other children.

We cannot be saviours of the worlds poor and homeless.....we have plenty that could be looked after who were born here!

Re: Migrant Crisis in Calais

i think them that rant on about how illegals etc should be taken in with open arms should give them a room in their house and if they dont have a spare room they should give them their room and sleep in the shed

you want em you pay for and keep em

I can do that!
But you didn't answer my question... that is OK, it tells me what I wanted to know.
