Where's a stylish water cannon when you need one?

"The Water Cannon is nozzle attachment mounted to the forward left side of the Aircrane capable of tilting up or down for increased control of the water stream. Connected to the 2,500 gallon (~9,500 litre) tank, the Water Cannon delivers a horizontal stream of water or foam mix up to 160 feet (~49 m) at a rate of 300 gallons (~1,140 litres per minute). With a full water tank, the cannon system is capable of maintaining the 300 gpm (~1,140 lpm) flow for up to eight minutes."

My head is going to explode.

I wonder if the authorites sent in troops with automatic weapons and orders to shoot to kill the invaders in these illegal camps, would it have any effect on solving the problem of future invaders wanting to come in?

Jokes about the French surrendering to the invaders are a temptation at this point, but in truth, it is not funny. Somehow, the whole of Western society has surrendered the right to defend its borders or culture from the onslaught of these throwbacks to the 7th Century.

"In many cases, there is absolutely nothing we can do," said a police spokesman.

A few truckloads of concertina wire could make a good start.

You know, um, dare I say it - there is a real obvious solution to this problem, at least from the French perspective...

Give them a ride.

The west had better get serious about this problem, and soon.

but there are also economic immigrants attracted to Britain by social security benefits.

We have the same thing here but we call it the "American Dream".

[mojito]

Hmmmmmm...and I wonder just what Johny Jihad gets up to once he gets to Britain? They seem like such nice boys in these pictures.

Thanks for posting. Very interesting.

England needs to close its borders for a year. The French will have to handle the problem themselves. It will get worse if these people from the middle east keep coming into France. France needs to close their borders also. They best get a handle on this or they will be totally taken over by muslims.

One immigrant, claiming to be a 24-year-old Iraqi, said: "All we want to do is get to Britain. The police attack us and treat us badly. We have no food or accommodation or toilets, so it is little surprise that some of us get into trouble."

What did you expect -- people to just hand you food, accomodations, and toilets? ROFL!

I must have missed the religious designation of the "immigrants" in the article. I see Iraq, Afghanistan, but no mention of Islam or muslim.

Maybe I missed it?

“In many cases, there is absolutely nothing we can do,” said a police spokesman.”

How about just shooting them. It will eventually get to this point. Send them back to their wonderful homelands in body bags made of pig skin.

But not to Calais and Dunkirk?

On Thursday, the CRS, elite police more usually associated with quelling urban disturbances, arrived in Normandy and began 24-hour patrols.

One immigrant, claiming to be a 24-year-old Iraqi, said:
"All we want to do is get to Britain.

He is probably afraid he won't get there in time to be another
b-tchin', complaining, burden on the state...
before the UK collapses under the load.

[BBell]

It sounds like the French may have reached down and found them.

[muawiyah]

Just give those bad boys drivers licenses and all will be well. /sarc.

[Atlantic Bridge]

If they really want to come to the UK - simply let them swim over the channel.

[Publius6961]

But as immigrants have no fixed abode, or official papers, dealing with them is difficult.

How hard can it be?

Load them all aboard a prison boat until it's full, take them to the north coast of Africa and let them swim ashore.

Next "problem"...
