Aussies collapsing like the Pakistanis in December 1971?

"I do feel sympathy for those who are so desperate for a life in the UK that they risk their own lives."
A life in France or Italy can't be that bad for these migrants. They must think the streets of London are paved with gold in order to risk their lives to go from France to the UK.
They are deluded - but to risk jumping on a moving train/lorry, you aren't in your right mind.
I do have sympathy for them. But they have no right to try enter the UK illegally. So my sympathy is limited
Interesting chart comparing what's missing between the Labour and Tory top 10.
Tory voters concerned about the EU and an ageing population. Labour voters concerned about poverty/inequality and low pay.
Yes. That's why I suggested a little while ago that Labour might consider changing its name, incorporating the word "social" to emphasize that they are not driven religiously by pure egoism, and also perhaps to move a bit from the old union driven class split.
One Nation Socialists?
Something like that--the "one nation" may have potential---but does the word "socialist" conjure up the word "commie"?
No, will lead to confusion with the Nationalist Socialists of the SNP
Ok, so when Cameron has a love-in with a terrorist enabler it's 'guff' but when Corbyn uses the traditional term 'friends' during attempts to engender peace talks he is a mad Islamist extremist. PB Tory world is fascinating place.
A moving story and a typical one. A shame that our Prime Minister's only comment on the disaster happening in Calais is to say how tragic it is that some Britons are having their holiday disturbed. Whatever shortcomings Corbyn might have he's at least known to have some compassion.
What's wrong with them staying in France or Italy? They have socialist governments, after all.
We need major action and need it now. Ignore EU law, just make it happen. Restore a secure perimeter and work with the French to get Sangatte camp destroyed. Without that primary focus, the gangs would not have an easy route through and the situation would start to be resolved.
Numbers there have hit a critical mass. 500 pose no threat; 000's can and do overwhelm existing security.

I'd certainly not rule out water cannon or even rubber low-velocity bullets or tasers and, in fact, I'd be moving such assets there now.
I also wouldn't rule out uniformed territorial army troops as aid to the civil power. Partly for reinforcement and partly because it would send a clear message.

Of course, we know that the Tories were giving invaluable actual aid to Pol Pot and Saddam Hussein around the time Corbyn first entered parliament, rather than just using diplomatic words to describe small fry like Hezbollah.

Obvious non-gold-pavement-related reasons would be language, family/friends and the ease of living and working without papers. It would be useful to see an actual survey, though.
Theresa May saying that a bunch of the tunnel rushers in Calais got through.
What does that mean? That they're walking through the tunnel, or emerged at Folkestone clinging to a train?
There is a central maintenance / emergency escape tunnel in the middle. Suspect that may have been a possibility ??
One wonders if Eurotunnel management should be reviewing the Indiana Jones movies for some ideas.
Probably the only solution is they emerge is secure detention.
Let's face it, they aren't going to be sent back on the next train to France, or anywhere else.
Why should we face that? Parliament is sovereign in this country so it is perfectly viable for them to implement a robust response here. If we can confirm they have come from France, a safe country, we should immediately reject any claim for asylum. They can then have a choice of return to France or deportation to their home country, or if that can't be established, Libya.
I agree. But the problem is the HRA, ECJ and ECHR and the bleeding hearts (downthread) who know how to work the innate generosity of our legal system. Our politicians don't want to fight that.
To all intents and purposes, if they touch British soil, a good 80%+ of them will be staying for good.
Then change the law. That's what Parliament is there for. Labour would get destroyed if they resisted. If the European Courts protest, fold it into the renegotiation. It would be an easy win as it would be the EU accepting the by then existing system.
I sympathise. But, let's face it, the best this government will do is rehash the HRA.

Coquelles probably should have the same level of security as the AWE or a high level military site. But it won't happen. Cameron will continue to wring his hands and simper.
We should be working with France to massively boost security in the area - including troops from both nations if necessary. The French must take responsibility for clearing the camp and for ensuring no such community is ever allowed to establish itself there (or anywhere else for that matter)
We need major action and need it now. Ignore EU law, just make it happen.
Good luck with persuading the French to ignore EU law.

Sky reporting a man in one of the Calais camps that had actually already been to Britain for a year before he was deported back to Italy. He said that the standards of housing provision were much better in Britain so it's worth risking his life to get back. What a farce.

Corbyn advocated surrender to people who murdered British citizens.
No he didn't, he suggested peace talks, which actually then happened and resulted in the relative peace the area has enjoyed for many years now. As opposed to Cameron who is actually close friends with a regime who have presided over virtually every major terrorist attack in the last fifteen years and the spread of virulent Islamic extremism.

The French already have military personnel there - camouflaged figures with weapons were very evident on the platforms at the Calais passenger stop on a Eurostar journey a week or so ago.
Perhaps Boris could persuade Eurotunnel to take 3 unwanted vehicles off his hands?

'Ta Mok's lawyer, Benson Samay, said the court would hear details of how, between 1985 and 1989, the Special Air Service (SAS) ran a series of training camps for Khmer Rouge allies in Thailand close to the Cambodian border and created a 'sabotage battalion' of 250 experts in explosives and ambushes. Intelligence experts in Singapore also ran training courses, Samay said.'

Now that the Conservatives have a majority (plus the backing of Douglas Carswell and the Unionists on this issue) they should push through whatever primary legislation is needed.
But there are several Tory MPs who won't vote to the whip, and the HoL is determined to block any major change anyway.
I think we'll get minor/cosmetic changes and not until 2017/2018. I'd be delighted to be proved wrong.

OGH. I think these figures reinforce the ones you posted yesterday showing support for Labour down since the election. It is clear that the issues deemed most important to the electorate have shifted strongly into Tory-friendly areas.
It also suggests too that the EU referendum could get very close.

So Hamas control the Gaza strip and Hizbollah rule the roost politically in Lebanon and saved Assad's arse in Syria. Both take the fight to Israel in fairly major military confrontations with global political and security implications. And these are, in your mind, 'minor local guerillas' who are somewhat less important than IRA.

Even Joe Public understands what world diplomacy looks like. We* didn't "back most of recent history's most reviled genocidal terror groups and dictators", we took a situation and did what we thought was best. And sure, some decisions have turned out badly, and there have been cockups. But the idea that Britain has been a state sponsor of world terrorism is just out of this world. I wouldn't even hang that moniker round Corbyn's neck, he's just an apologist.

Don't know the details, but the US did fund the mujahideen fighting the Russians in Afghanistan. Maybe you could start your investigation here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cyclone
I'm surprisingly not a fan of Hezbollah's religious fundamentalism, but the simple fact is they are widely popular in Lebanon for repelling Israeli incursions and occupations, invariably killing hundreds if not thousands of civilians of all denominations. At no point have they attacked Israel unprovoked. Hamas are vile, but again are a byproduct of Israeli machinations against secular Palestinian opposition. Neither are worse than their supremacist right wing counterparts in Israel in my view.

I believe JWisemann was claiming that the Conservative Party funded them, although he remains notably silent on this matter. Perhaps he is still reeling from how silly he looked after he claimed that Hezbollah were a minor militia.
