The "Jungle" camp, near to the port of Calais, and close to the 31-mile Channel Tunnel will be torn down on Monday 24th
Officially, about 7,000 migrants live in the camp - humanitarian groups say the number is closer to 10,000 or more
So? when this camp is torn down, where will the thugs move to next?
Will they still use violence and thuggery on all traffic heading towards the tunnel and will this escalate higher

Just wondering why the French have left it there to fester for so long? The 'jungle' should have been demolished a long time ago. |

Yes that is true, unless they hope many will make it across to UK, which will remove them from France.
Some are already making new camps |

I read the French are relocating them to other camps. Hope it goes as smooth as possible. About time they sort it out. I travel through Calais quite often. |

Doesn't look like it's going too smooth on the news. Outbreaks of violence already being reported. |

Are these people trying to get into the uk from ports like zeebruger in holland? Is it because they a lured by the short distance across the channel instead? |

I think the point of breaking up the jungle and moving people further away in smaller camps is that anyone left hanging around that area without permission can be moved back to the camps a lot easier.
7000 + desperate people in one place is too much of a powder keg.

The key issues here are as pointed out why did the French let it get so big. These people have made a community, so can understand now their anger at it being destroyed.
Secondly the other issue is the majority of these people are economic refugees. I have no real issue housing those that really need it, within reason, but we are an island providing income to other countries residents with no form of contribution to our systems.
As for those "children" you can call it a breach of their human rights or whatever but realistically you look at some of them and imagine they will be placed in your child's primary/ secondary school without us knowing anything about any criminal past and tell me you are content with what are clearly men sat beside your child. |

A representative from the Road Haulage Association was on the radio this morning describing the attacks on trucks which included the use of sharpened scaffold poles and a threat of rape by ten savages who surrounded the cab of a female truck driver. According to the representative once the camp is closed the problem will just move further inland. |

From the BBC.
"Migrants queued peacefully to be processed,and the first of some 60 coaches that will carry them to refugee centres across France,has now left."
Minority ruins it for the majority. We could say the Brits are hooligans because of the minority of people who cause trouble, but we dont. |

I think the original take on it was that the French authorities thought it better to have them in one place as its easier to control a group when you have them all together and know where they are.
Very much in the same way UK police control large crowds of demonstrators, rioters, and football hooligans.
When the numbers began to swell this year because of the increase of African migrants from Libya, the French were obviously under mounting pressure from the UK government to close the Calais camp. |

well said, sadly many on here prefer to disagree whilst they hug trees at the same time |

I don't think that a lot of the people they have moved on actually understand where they are going.
It was said on the news that they could not find many of the so called 10,000 leaflets that were said to be handed out telling people what is happening in multiple languages.
Listening to one of the refugees interviewed he was saying how after 2 years in the jungle he would finally make it to the uk 
I think there has been some underhandedness by the French to try and make it easier to move them  |
