just heard that the asylum seeker camp is being dismantled due to an outbreak of scabies.
the idea is that treatment will be given to those affected before some of them are shipped back home.
minors are expected to be sent to a place called olhain near to bruay-la-buissiere.

The authorities should never have allowed this unofficial camp in the first place.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Saw some photos of the camp itself and it has to be said that they weren't very good at housework.

These camps were an awful blott on the landscape in Calais. They have spent a lot of money on the town there recently, the town centre has been redesigned, refurbished, re laid out and so on, with a whole new array of fountains added in the centre square. I haven't seen these as yet myself but saw some of ColetteB's pictures. it all looks good and clean...so the camps were a terrible counterpoint to the progress. They were all strewn out along the banks of the river/canal there too just following the launch of the new Riverbus... I remember Ed brought us a picture of that one. Not a very edible sight taking your tour through the massed camps of hungry unwashed unfortunate immigrants. What's to be done with them though I just don't know...

Summing up then there was no point to the original eviction, clearly just something to catch the headlines in France.

The trouble is that these people really want to get to Britain, they don't want to stay in France - and why do we think that is ?
I think the French President said it is our fault because our welfare/benefits system is simply tooooooooo generous.

not as generous as the French system,but france has a catch.................. id cards.and the imigrants don't like the idea of an id card.
id cards should be made compulsory here for all imigrants here,then lets see how many will want to stay or to come here.

The situation totally out of control now with the local woods out of bounds and people unable to sell their houses in and around Calais.

Not much they can do Brian, putting them in detention centres indefinitely would cost them a fortune and they blame us for offering the lure as they see it.

a detention center is only a start howard,some due process and a flight back will only take 4 weeks max.the French as well as us know where they came from which makes it easy to sort.
