Well, the huge difference with London is that the border to the UK is quite difficult to cross for most migrants. A lot of them end up in Paris, where they have no choice but to set up camps. Such a phenomenon is not unusual. The large scale is rather new though.

To Cherie: I agree to a point. "The French government should be held accountable"?? Really? Not the parents? How can people decide to have a child in those conditions. You can get free condoms. OR is it because if you have a child you get subsistence money? Please don't say "nobody would do that". I see it daily. I counsel at a Methadone clinic. And I am in recovery myself. Half of girls (yes, youngsters) I see are on Methadone and pregnant. It's really a mess out there, but I do not believe it is the governments mess to clean up. A helping hand, yes. But some people make very bad decisions because they think "someone" will "save" them. This has to change. Just my opinion.

Well Cherie let them come to o the GREAT BRITAIN then.

They seem to be refugees--what will happen when winter comes?
