Latest updates: Calais migrants crisis caused by 'swarm' of people trying to reach Britain, says David Cameron
Around 150 illegal immigrants are reaching Britain from Calais each night, it is feared, as the Government faces demands for tougher action including calls from one police commissioner to “send in the Gurkhas”.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, led an emergency Cobra meeting on Wednesday while the Channel Tunnel operators turned on the British and French governments for failing to act.
Mrs May was dealt a further setback as senior judges banned a fast-track detention scheme used to process migrants who reach Britain and claim asylum.
The ruling means it will be much harder for the Government to remove migrants, as it emerged that more than 300 foreigners detained under the scheme have already had to be freed by the Home Office.

Are “regular” British troops too squeamish to get their hands dirty? How did the West win World War II?
Gorkhas, are soldiers from Nepal, not big fat pickles.

Too limp wristed.
It doesn’t matter who you send, if they are not authorized to use whatever level of force is necessary.
One British Marine with a loaded rifle would be sufficient, IF he was allowed to shoot.
You're thinking of Gerkhas, the little pickles with big sharp knives.
Why do you believe that those who serve in the British Army are ‘limp wristed.’?

Bingo!
the gurkhas have a very long history of being little, feisty, bad-arses with big knives, and they KNOW how to use them.
Since it seems that the mo-OO-oos-limbs want to ‘get it on’, and love to intimidate with all that public headchopping, why not “fight fire with fire”? Besides, being well-accumstomed to firearms, that Kukhri blade is what made them. The ‘moral law’ of use of it, is, every time unsheathed, there must be blood spilt, even to nicking the wielder of the blade.
AMERICANS!
“Why do you believe that those who serve in the British Army are ‘limp wristed.’?”
Well if the whole country is that way being how they are
nothing more than serfs and subjects I would have to
assume the army fares no better. The fact is Briton is
what the liberal left hold as an example of what this
country should be, obedient and submissive. Now I don’t
think it could get any more limp wristed than that.
Good point.
