Mick Wallace crying in the Dail

2smiggy

after his trip to Calais the misfortune.

My friend drives through Calais regularly, and he would also be nearly crying having to put up with the refugees trying to get into his lorry.

Sounds like both Wallace and your friend have a heart so, I'm assuming of course that your friend is heartbroken at the refugees plight?.

Truck drivers are having to run the gauntlet of aggressive refugees on the Calais route on a daily basis & are claiming that attacks are becoming so common, many are fearing for their lives especially since security has been increased to prevent stowaways.

Ah I think fair play to Wallace, he rubs some people up the wrong way and he really, really f-ed up on his Nama stuff, but good on him for going to Calais and trying to do something about it.

I live in a place where the leader of the b!stards in power said that refugees would spread diseases

there are some differences related to geography, various parasites, protozoa that are common and are not dangerous in the bodies of these people, (but) may be dangerous here.

Yes technically they're not refugees as they did not claim asylum in the first safe country they entered.

'Illegal aliens' is the term we use here as we have no way of identifying their country of origin. We have multiple nationalities all claiming to be Syrian.

Whilst there is no doubt that truckers are running a gauntlet that's not really the issue here.

I've little time for Wallace, mostly I can't stand him. But a very good friend of mine traveled with Calais with him (I won't name him completely but Clare Daly referred to him as 'Gary, solicitor from Dublin) and honestly the video and photos from 'The Jungle' would bring a tear to a glass eye.

I've no idea what the solution is. I'm pretty much against opening the gates to an influx of refugees and I argue with my friend (Gary) re. re-enforcing Europe's borders (I'm pro stronger border measures).

But we can't ignore the plight of those living in The Jungle. We wouldn't have dogs, pigs or rats live in similar.

Nobody took the bait the first time so you continue with your insightful warblings hoping for a bite? :rolleyes:

I didn't mention war anywhere in my post & I doubt you have any first hand references from France, so...jog on shit-stirrer & get your jollies elsewhere

What a joke that one of our most prominent socialist politicians is a tax evading, millionaire property developer.

These are people who travelled through many safe countries to make themselves deliberately homeless in the northeastern corner of a safe rich country - France.

Maybe Mick will offer to take in and shelter many of the Irish homeless on our own streets

Are many of them still rejecting to stay in the containers that were put up beside the jungle?

Like all the other promises that the last government implemented?

While them whingy <insert expletive here> are wasting people's time "trying" to form the next government, he actually decided to take a look at the migrant crisis first hand.

He may let himself down at times, but to be fair to him he does appear to be one for the "every man"

Spanish Eyes

I thought the authorities in France bulldozed all the illegal encampments in the Calais Jungle and cleared the place, they provided weatherproof wooden buildings instead for the migrants which were soon set on fire. It is a total mess, but the migrants don't seem to be doing themselves any favours. They have been given shelter and food, but the only thing they want is to get to the UK.

Is that new settlement not working out, or are too many more arriving every day nowor something?

I've a friend in Calais, a member of the Gendarmerie who served in Mali & would be sympathetic to the plight of the refugees, but I can hear from his tone that attitudes are changing.

Over the last few months the tensions in the local community have reached breaking point due to the actions/reactions of the refugees to the local populace.

Shop-lifting, burglaries, aggressive behaviour, stabbings, muggings etc., are all on the rise.

I have no doubt they are living in dire conditions in The Jungle but they are doing themselves no favours by alienating the locals.

They are fast becoming akin to the travelling community in this country in the way they are viewed & treated unfortunately & it will only get worse, I think, in the long run.

These people are only wanting to go to the Uk for Economic reasons not human rights reasons.

I'm sure it's a living nightmare for the local residents of Calais. Their anger is quite understandable.

I suppose the bleeding hearts must be kept a thumping. The drowned child on a beach is so, like oveeer on Facebook and it doesn't lend itself well for draping over avatars.

I see where Makikomi and I share his inner turmoil between tightening up the borders and trying to help human misery that has been landed upon us by that moron Merkel and the EU muppets. Though as Spanish Eyes pointed out the camps were cleared and alternative accommodation was provided, but oh no, that wasn't good enough for them. They demanded more. I mean WT actual F? Have they no bloody shame? Of course too many know that there are enough bleeding hearts to listen to them and no doubt many will get their way. Refugees my arse.

No need to apologise, facts I don't have a problem with, you annoy me.

Do you touch yourself when you feel you are being intellectually superior? :P
