Channel tunnel to close on Brexit?

Ah, so happy with those 1 million refugees wandering around your streets and taking a dump on your doorstep then

I think they only do that to the people who treat them badly.

What did the residents of Cologne do to them?

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.

Shut it BP. They did not quench their thirst. Isn't that enough?

Funnily enough, the only people who I have ever seen piss and tulip in the streets tend to be boozed up Brits on stag weekends in Hamburg and Berlin

and others.

EU != ECHR

Different treaty and we are legally bound by it.

No. If the French close the UK border controls in Calais, then they'll be reopened in Folkestone and vice versa.

Seems like the usual dumb politician brainfart. Almost worth of Trump.

And as we all know as soon as they make it onto blighty soil in Folkestone - with a few choice words they will have achieved their dreams

I think we need to get ahead of the curve and start fencing off Kent in order to house any unwanteds. The garden of England can simply become the garbage can of England. A giant festering carbunkle on the backside of the Home Counties that we can use as a holding depot for the great unwashed immigrant hordes.
You know it makes sense, after all, the whole place reeks of garlic since the chunnel opened anyway.

Quite wrong, Trump would have built a wall across the Mediterranean
