These threats are even more reason to leave. If these people are so vicious they may be equally so if we stay and some future EU decision, more banking regulations for example, is very damaging to British interest.
In any case the flow from Calais is dwarfed by migration from the EU. Hard to say if Syrians will be a problem or not but they can't be worse than the Roma, or the Turks, Albanians etc. yet to come. Also as the EU expands, the borders with the outside world inevitably become more porous for obvious reasons, more able to claim family within EU countries etc. They can then go anywhere they like in the EU and I doubt they'll want to stay in Greece or Albania. If we stay in we may look back in a few years and think Calais was a minor problem.
We could reduce the draw the UK seems to have for migrants if we stopped being so damn nice to them by comparison with some other nations, including France. Make asylum and residency applications much more difficult. Being out of the EHCR will help. Allowing one person' human rights to trump everyone else's is absurd in principle.Last edited by xoggoth; 3 March 2016, 13:21.bloggoth
