Yes (although 'armed' gives teh impression of guns, when in fact clubs are mentioned)

[ToraToraTora]

I'd have thought the French authorities should be dealing with this.

[MallyJ]

Never a paper to be alarmist over foreigners the Mail..... !!!!

[youngmafbog]

Not really alarmist, these people are prepared to use some pretty extreme violence to achieve their aim.

[naomi24]

Of course we should be concerned. That lot, given half a chance, are heading here!

[anneasquith]

Its the DM !!!!!!!!!

[youngmafbog]

Are you claiming it to be untrue Anne?

[anotheoldgit]

MallyJ

So you would not be alarmed at someone coming up to you brandishing a club?

No we don't want this type of foreigner here in the UK.

Perhaps to you, but one can be 'armed' and harmed by any number of weapons other than guns.

It is all in hand AOG. I remember a few weeks back asking, tongue in cheek, whether we would be issued with weapons to defend ourselves when it all kicks off. I was before the event.

For those of a more sensitive attitude:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/02/refugees-gather-calais-camp-unaccompanied-children

/// “Eritreans and Sudanese are everywhere along the seafront with no welcome centre,” said Amin Trouvé-Baghdouche of Doctors of the World. ///

Obviously that lot would never dream of using extreme measures to reach their gaol i.e. England.

Togo

When in danger turn to Dad's Army.

I have a pitchfork can I volunteer?

[youngmafbog]

Well I bet they dont like it up 'em!

[MallyJ]

The only threats of violence I have ever been treated to were from home grown thugs....and the last one involved a knife. If I see that the source is the Mail I ignore it...strangely enough the last thing I read from that rag was a whole article insinuating that Alister Sim enjoyed dressing as a woman proved by his role in St Trinians films...the rest of the article had even nastier suggestions

[mikey4444]

I have every faith in our Police coping with this if it should come to pass. After all, with an extra 20,000 Officers, it should be a piece of cake.

Hang on a minute ........

[naomi24]

Mikeym well if you're very lucky you'll soon have a Corbyn government, and the chances are he'll let them all in, so policing our borders won't be a problem. Be careful what you wish for ...

[Togo]

Lo AOG weeerre doooomed a tell ye.

[fender62]

why are illegal migrants allowed to wander around calais, do the french not have a deportation system, or holding cells of some sort.
it's a bit like someone walking into your house..sitting down going into your fridge and helping themselves, i think the french government do not care for their own people let alone their country, these illegals could be murderers rapists jihadists etc, but hey just feel free to roam around.

[webbo3]

And all these heading for European and northern France, no one woman or child among them and not one looks like a refugee fleeing from syria.

Fender....it could be that once they move out of France and into England, they are no longer their problem, but ours ?

Glad to get rid of them, so to speak.
