@Phizzy & Slim - you're delusional.
If you think people crossing the Channel in dinghies isn't a crisis, then I just don't know what to say.
Migrants are relatively safe in continental Europe. Then they put themselves and/or their children in rubber dinghies and 'trust in God', or whatever. And that is pretty retarded.
If they don't like the way France treats them, moving to Belgium or Germany or Liechtenstein is a hell of a lot safer than crossing the Channel.
Like I said, you can't fix stupid.
Stupid is as stupid does.
