No, but the Brexit campaigners were suggesting (wrongly, of course) that Turkey was soon join the EU, and that Arab refugees in Germany would soon be granted citizenship, and would then be able to freely move to the UK. |

2016, Wolfgang Schwanke remarked: Now that the entire population of the Middle East are no longer moving to London Brexit has no effect on migration from outside the EU. It does, because it affects how many of the people camped at Sangette (who are non-EU) get to the UK, and even whether the Sangette camp will eventually be relocated to somewhere on the Kent coast. -- Roland Perry |

No reason it should. The le touquet agreement is nothing to do with the EU. -- Spud |

The mayor of calais seems to spend her life complaining about the UK. Perhaps she should complain to her own government to do their damn job and process these people instead of allowing mass vagrancy. The Mayor of Calais has a valid argument that the Touquet agreement has imposed a disproportional burden on her town as a result of France's inability to intercept illegal migrants before they get there. It is not difficult to have sympathy with her position. However, the value to France as a whole of the agreement, and the fact that Calais is just one of many Channel port towns implementing it, means that it's unlikely to be unilaterally rescinded by France. It is, though, a convenient bogeyman with which to threaten the UK, particularly by French politicians who want to deflect attention from the fact that the underlying problem is France's own inability to handle illegal migrants.

The reason that it's in Calais is that the people there want to be close to the UK so as to make it easier to get to the UK. In the hypothetical situation of the French just opening the gates and letting them through, there would be no reason for them to want to stay in Kent. And our government has a policy of dispersing migrants around the country and not just requiring that they stay next to the port they entered through. It is therefore clear that any suggestion of "the jungle" being replicated in Kent is, to be blunt, ********, unless it is populated by British people desperate to flee to France. -- David Cantrell | even more awesome than a panda-fur coat Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscript catapultas habebunt |

If there were many thousands, I think they'd be detained in specific locations. We have a precedent in Oakington (now closed). Perhaps they wouldn't be in Kent, but there have been suggestions in the past that ships might be used, and Kent is on the coast... -- Roland Perry |

Brexit won't change anything there. Something else is apparently not working, that won't be fixed by leaving the EU. Well hopefully once the law is re-adjusted and we no longer have to cowtow to that ****ing human rights act then once these illegals are found they can be booted out ASAP instead of parasite lawyers dragging the process out for years with some variation on right to family life or BS a`bout being tortured if they're sent back. -- Spud |
