Mabey some sense about Calais crisis

Evil8Beezle:
Well the ITV news has just been on, and tonight my region was SouthEast, and I live in Southampton? :open_mouth: (Should be Meridian news)

And we had the Labour party trying to press the PM for compensation from the French over operation stack! WTF!!!
(Some Transport bod said ÂŁ750,000 a day)

Personally, I can’t see the French paying us a bean, and don’t see why they should…
But instead of talking about HOW we need to fix the problem, the part in opposition just want to try and score points off the party in power. :unamused:

And I wonder why I hate them all… :smiling_imp:

The real question is why didn’t Cameron ask the ‘Labour’ Party if it would support a programme of mass repatriation of the ‘asylum seeker’ problem.

That’s the question I would like to hear as well…

Yes i’m selfish, but the alternative is the complete ruin of the country, as it will never ever end…

Our country really has become a laughing stock. We have a serious problem with terrorism. And yet we have people who simply wait until 10 pm in Calais, and cut through a wire fence in order to stowaway in trains and lorries.

We have NO idea who and how many are getting into this country. And the Governments answer? More fences to cut through and a few dogs. What an embarrassment our country has become.

What’s your recommendation to the problem?
Sentry posts and few GPMGs to take down women n kids?

Ahh., the majority of them are young men not women and kids though, if you had witnessed them trying to board trucks first hand you would know that, so don’t use the lame women and kids line,
The British army should be sent to bolster our borders in France at the train and ferry ports , they could then search every truck /van as well as help secure the tunnel , they should also have cctv or spotters at Folkstone so any illegals on roofs of trailers can be reported to security and the truck stopped before it gets onto the motorway and the illegals found deported to outside the train terminal or handed to the French police,
If we took the stance of returning all of them to France or other last known country , do you not think that those countries would start to secure their borders too ?
It’s not rocket science that it we who are their chosen target can start this chain of events , We should also pull our navy from this rescue mission, in the med, or start returning them to the shores they departed from , if not known then make an educated guess

To be honest yes I have been there first hand.
Was in Calais for 4 weeks in December in between jobs and doing someone a favour moving beverages.
If you been in the ports and been stopped you would relise the man power and logistics involved in searching every truck and I think that would make the stack worse.
Also the extra border forces needed for this.

So what’s the army going to do exactly?

the job of ukba searching vehicles , as well as offering security at the port and train terminal backing the police up If that makes the que longer so be it, but if you had lots of search teams working around the clock that wouldn’t add too much of a delay, there’s lots that could be done at the port and train terminal to cut waiting times , the eurotunnel is a joke when there’s no problem with illegals one uk customs booth open at busy times slowing everything down

Do you any idea how long it would take to search every truck going in and out Dover in Calais everyday? Or the resources?
Where does it end every port?
All the little pricks will do is move up the coast to a different port.

Il put it in perspective.
When you get stopped there 3 ukba searching your truck one doing paperwork plus office staff takes bout 30 mins.
They do about 3 or 4 trucks per ferry.
Now try doing 150 truck or how ever many trucks is on the ferry around the clock 24hours a day is a hell of a lot of wages and pensions to pay.

You really going start a 6 month rotation with a few regiments at Calais?
Then they move to Dunkirk or the hook then what?
A regiment in each ferry port? Come on it’s been silly.

They don’t have to do any paperwork if no one is found, checks could be done in the lanes whilst waiting for trains and ferries, those checks that UKBA/HMRC do aren’t just looking for bodies, they are looking for contraband,drugs fire arms ect, a visual check of the inside of a trailer could be made taking less than 30mins per vehicle, there’s more efficient ways of searching a vehicle solely for people As for searching vehicles going to France, no need to do more than is done now

And on another observation at calais port i would kick the french security out who operate the heart beat monitor as they seldom ever do their job they are always waiving trucks through without checking them, and they will not sign your paper work to say they wouldn’t check or check your lorry , so their presence is pointless , ukba should take that over, and forget trying to extort money from drivers unless there is proof of people smuggling

You get put through heart beat and X-ray all the time.
The dogs already run up in down the lanes before you go on the ferry too.

It’s like the 12 immigrants that got found other week in harwich I believe they where found inside washing machines.
You prob wouldn’t see them with a visual if where packed properly.

We’re lucky the French allow us to have a presence in the port.
Never mind deploying the Army.

This is my take on the situation for what it’s worth; our Govt have three main responsibilities which are (1) protect the population, (2) protect the currency, (3) protect the borders. Now it’s obvious that they are failing in at least one of these and how shown that there is little (if any) political will to make the hard decisions.

So (as has been mentioned previously), why don’t the Govt turn this to a financial advantage? They could grant them all asylum and easily create jobs for them all, those with no skill set could be sent out picking litter and generally renovating the country, those with a skill set such as builders be set on building affordable housing on brown field sites etc etc.

The upside being increased tax revenues from these new workers which will offset any increased burden on the social services. The Govt could also tweak the rules so that things like child allowance is only paid if the child is resident in the UK. I appreciate that many will say about them driving wages down but IMO that horse has already bolted after we opened the doors to EE labour, so what is the difference here?

We need to turn this to a financial benefit to the UK in much the same way that Germany when it realised it couldn’t defeat prostitution decided to regulate and legalise it, the nett result being they earn vast tax revenues from it
I may have a simplistic view here, but the fact remains that the present system isn’t fit for purpose so something radical needs doing pronto.

why do they all come here?
well in the day the sun never set on the British Empire
the whole world speaks English end off

It’s like all you here is we need take the Australian policy blah blah blah.
Read up on Australia they accept 20000 immigrants in 2013.
It ain’t that great a policy either.

Put caravans on farm sites and get them picking fruit.

Wouldn’t it be better to send our own unemployed out to do that first?
And I can see many complaints followed by expensive court cases saying we are treating them like second class citizens.

the maoster:

We don’t seem to be willing to build affordable housing, The property companies would rather build loads of big expensive houses in desirable locations, they have to be forced to build affordable housing.

My final question once you’ve allowed all those sitting in Calais to come here, current estimates are between 5000 to 9000, what about the 100 of thousands who are landing on beaches round the Med, and then what about the millions in refugee camps around the world and the many more millions living in grinding poverty in countries round the world who are looking for a way out of it.

At what what point with your idea do you say ok we must stop?

Themoocher:

Aren’t there plenty of East Europeans doing that job already? Or are you suggesting we undercut them for even cheaper goods in our shops because we turn a blind eye to people on poverty wages and living in cramped and appalling conditions.

So what’s your answer?
The eastern euros are getting a free ticket and jumping the que.
They aren’t in war torn countries that we have flattened and caused the problems.

We already have naval ships in the med with the marines.
What else can we do in the med?

I don’t want the little spongers here either but I really can’t see an other option.
Let them in put them in prefabs or caravan type accommodation and let them work paying taxes and contribute and aventually become citizens.

Have a look at the last month and have an estimate on the costs already.
Also costs in the med.
The bodies needed to secure 100% of the borders.

You go down harwich docks there only two people ever in the border check point I say again two people.

Here you go, this should cheer some of you up, from both the immigration & the transport sides.

This is the same in every country this is why they come here a real eye opener. It’s these countries who are wronging these people on every level and claim to help them and produce trumped up figures that people believe. But the UK can’t keep doing rite by these people they have to go back …

The only way to stop them is to remove the reasons they want to come in the first place. Trying to ‘fence them out’ etc. isn’t practical, it’s simply treating the symptoms ineffectively.

The cause is a much too easy time of it once they are here, compared to their own country. Remove that easy time, and they won’t be half so keen to arrive on our shores.

We’ve been a soft option for far too long here. I suggest that those that wish all the migrants to come should do the honourable thing and swap places with them. That way, the migrants get to come and the country gets no more folk in it! :grimacing:

Truckulent:

So are you suggesting we make this Country as bad as the Countries they’ve come from to discourage them? :confused:

The point is ‘they’ want to live amongst ‘us’ because ‘they’ don’t have the know how to build a decent developed society of their own.As would become clear if ‘we’ all decided to leave.IE parasites.

Maybe because Australians have been stupid and gullible enough to put in a Con government like ours.That is dedicated to the idea of selling out the ethnic British workforce to cheap labour immigration and the global free market economy. :unamused:

It is of no use what so ever driving through the heart beat shed without them even using the heart beat monitor which is what they the french security knob jockeys are doing most of the time,( not doing the job they are getting paid to do ) So pointless the shed being there for the heart beat scan. as i haven’t pulled curtain sided trailers for a while i can’t say re the x ray scanner, The only thing done at calais is the cursory check with the sniffer dog whilst in the lanes if you have a hard sided vehicle

At the euro tunnel even less gets checked the French only use an x ray scanner, that ukba say is not as effective as their equipment , and it is rare to be checked by the French yet you think this is enough ■■? of course as you pointed out there will be some loads where it’s not possible to check visually , in these cases the vehicles would be directed to the x-ray scanner if they didn’t have a dog with them ( yes dog inside trailer)
