Ah, Ok thank you.

[Mamyalynne]

Can't vouch for the veracity of that, maybe more details will emerge.

I don't think you are stupid but you are being ingenuous; the horrible situation in Calais is the result of our interference in the Middle East which was executed and backed by right-wingers and deplored by moderates. The irony is that the people who backed the war are now jeering at the moderates.//

Please take the time to read the link provided and see who is being ingenuous (sic) or indeed disingenuous.
The horrible things in Calais,it would appear,are there on their own volition and charities are asking just what they are doing there other than chancing their luck to get to the UK. These 95-97% are deemed economic migrants by the very charities who were duped into thinking they required humanitarian aid.No way. All they need is a passage to Britain. The charity has pulled out and directed it's humanitarian aid to the real refugees in the Middle East when they found out they were duped.
Big difference between Genuine refugees and Criminal scum of which these "horrible things" in Calais are. I believe it says in the link that these Calais chancers are not from a war zone or the Middle East conflict.!!!

According to the BBC

One has to question the wisdom of driving a bus full of children or any one else at the moment through Calais.
Isn't the mayhem,chaos and criminality there reported on enough times?

No one told me they were sweatie socks!

[Zacs-Master]

Good point retro. If I were a parent I'd be asking to see the school's risk assessment (or 'common sense' substitute, as I call them).

[Orderlimit]

Terrible situation and likely to get worse. Many HGV driver's have apparently resigned due to fear.

[Baldric]

Old friend of mine, (HGV Driver, sadly no longer with us) said he'd had a knife pulled on him by people trying to get into his trailer more than once in Calais, and that's going back 8 to 10 years.

[Baldric]

I guess that putting up the BBC link confirming it wasn't a direct attack on the School Bus but that they got caught up in an ongoing situation just didn't fit in with the agenda of this OP!

Was that mirth or did you go under the name of bouncer in another world. :-(

Perhaps all our fifth or sixth form students should be bussed out to Calais where they can be subjected to the same 'experience'. Perhaps then they may not so readily swallow all they are 'taught' by their teechas.

[Mamyalynne]

This thread started off with weird answers and still they come.

[Gavmacp]

Retrocop,
Probably came from being a bit of a prat!
I just find this debating on this site rather silly and pointless.
I am neither right or left when it comes to politics but all the leftie rightie tightie rubbish is tiresome for me and quite a few others.
If I have an opinion on something I will search and listen to people who have the opposing views to see and try to understand their position. It seems to me people on here are very black and white I generally see grey.

Are you suggesting, baldric, that next time I want to post a story
at 12:30 I should wait until the BBC put up a link(that you approve of, presumably) at 4:00?

[DTCwordfan]

Typical Mirror to manipulate the story to its rabid agenda.....no photos, over-exaggeration throughout the article.......no wonder I don't buythe trash. They should save the trees and spare the folk who read it from being brain-washed.

No, just take a more conservative and judged view to what you read, especially when it comes to the likes of the tabloids.

[Zacs-Master]

They love it tho DT. They wouldn't know what to think unless a redtop told them.

[DTCwordfan]

Has to resort to insults, I see.....tut.
