Also, from that thread, there's this gem from Anne_666
http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showpost ... tcount=692"It's never been about making "room" for migrants in France. Like any other country they need somewhere to live at least. Extra room doesn't provide accommodation or pay for them. ."
A fair point. The economy of a country needs to be sufficient to support the number of refugees and immigrants it hopes to support.
"The French don't want them, don't process them and being an illegal immigrants isn't a crime in France. They do send migrants away from the North and they return because they've always been allowed to, they want to reach the UK and the French falsely claim they're the UK's responsibility."
Well, that's a poor state of affairs for the French; not being willing to process them and absorb them into French society and not able to control illegal immigrants and having no power to detain them or deport them either.
It must be very frustrating for the French.
"Any EU country's lack of borders is their own problem to be dealt with, especially when the EU can't be arsed to control their external borders. "
Very true. the open-borders policy within Europe, coupled with lax border controls at the edges of Europe, gives every advantage to immigrants attempting to travel through Europe and creates many problems for the countries who these people travel through.
I guess this is something that these countries should have considered before signing up to Schengen, but oh well.
"I hold the UK wholly responsible..."
Awhatnow?
Seriously?
You list a whole bunch of perfectly reasonably things that the French are doing wrong and that the EU is doing wrong, but then you just say that it's all BRITAIN'S fault anyway?
