The Dismantling Of The “jungle” Of Calais Began by Sipcyp(m): 10:56am On Oct 24, 2016
The evacuation of the “Jungle” in Calais began on Monday 24 October. The dismantling of this vast precarious encampment of thousands of migrants began at 8am. A total of 60 cars must now carry migrants to reception centers all over France.

Everything is accelerated at 8am on Monday morning. Queue where migrants were waiting turned into disorderly race to arrive first at the gates of the reception point. The first exiles came in the morning to be the head of this queue. More than a hundred migrants have sometimes waited for over two hours the doors open and arrivals continue.

For now, it is mostly men, often Sudanese. They leave the slum, carrying their suitcases, their bags until they get large hangar where they should be supported.

In total there are four queues: one for adults, one for unaccompanied minors , a third for families and one for the vulnerable, sick or elderly.

The right-wing press of London would have loved to see all of them dead, but it`s the United Kingdom that is dying slowly but steadily.

Majority of these people left their countries of origin in search of a decent life, after western-imposed economic policies have turned their countries into a basket case. The population of all the immigrants in Calais is less than 10,100 but London doesn`t want them in the United Kingdom.

It`s important to remind ourselves of the fact that Germany has accepted over one million refugees so far.

London-built wall is going up in Calais to keep the poor refugees out. They have forgotten that neither walls nor media demonisation can stop the forward march of a determined mind that has nothing to lose.

Sorry but these people are no real refugees. Refugees run from hunger and war.

There is no war in France. They could live there and integrate but they prefer to stay in Calais, hoping to get to UK. But why??

UK is not paradise. Infact only the language is easy (English) but you don't get support and jobs are hard to find. Housing is expensive and there are so many foreigners in Britain, causing the rise of racism. I've been there three times. Yes London city looks cool, but actually only the rich live in the clean areas. Some parts of London look like Africa, broken houses etc....

This people in Calais would do better staying there.

The Dublin Convention doesn`t envisage the mass exodus of refugees of the recent past. But if you insist that it should apply, then France is within her right to deport all of them back to Greece, Spain and Italy-which happen to be the member states through which they first entered the European Union

Sorry, France and the United kingdom have almost the same population, but France has the largest concentration of Africans in the whole of Europe. Besides, Scotland has one of the lowest population density in the EU. I do concede that London and South-East are heavily populated, but that shouldn`t be an excuse.

Fact is, there is no country in the West that feels comfortable taking refugees from a totally different culture, but politicians have to lead at times like this.
" YOU PAY £36 MILLION FOR CALAIS CLEAROUT", is the Daily Mail`s front page headline this morning. I have never seen the type of evil tendencies of The Mail Group in any EU country, and this is the main reason for the racism you talked about; fiction has long taken over from fact in the UK. Home Office confirmed recently that, racial attacks increased by 41% post-Brexit, how does one rationalise that?
Our humanitarian instincts must come to the fore when dealing with those that are less fortunate than us. Now that the only fair-weather friend in the EU has removed herself from the bloc, I`m looking forward for more solidarity.
