Why do they want to come to Britain? What is wrong with France?

:: Have they just come in the hope that they can get access to benefits within the UK's welfare system?

It’s a myth to think they are chasing UK benefits. They have absolutely no knowledge of the UK welfare system. They come because they have family here. They come because they speak the language. They come because for centuries, Britain has been seen as the home of all that is good and decent; because for centuries, the British have been telling people that. Their entire experience of Brits is from our soldiers, who tend to be good eggs and from volunteers in the Jungle, who feed them, give them warm clothing and build them shelters. Naturally, they think we’re top chaps; why wouldn’t they?!

The ignorance among those in the Jungle is astonishing. People rock up having travelled all the way across Europe, with no knowledge of the asylum laws; many of them think they’ll be in Trafalgar Square the next day.

I’ve been telling people for weeks to get out of Calais. The border is becoming more secure and attitudes are hardening.

:: Why don’t they apply for asylum in France?

They don’t speak French. They’re at constant risk of being attacked by local fascist groups in Calais; the police they encounter here wear intimidating ISIS-style face masks, hit them with pepper spray or rubber bullets and launch unprovoked tear gas grenade attacks into family areas at night. Under these circumstances, where would you want to live?

The conservative mayor of Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur has announced he will ban alternative school menus that do not include pork to promote secular values in schools.

Mayor Michel Rotger, a member of the conservative Republican party, said the move would promote secularism but would also save the local government money saying ‘alternative menus’ led to too much waste, L’Express reports.

The debate over pork on school menus or in government canteens has been raging in France and elsewhere in Europe for years. As far back as 2014, the French mayor of Sargé-lès-Le-Mans said that school menus would feature “pork or nothing”.

Calls for pork to be mandatory have also been made in Germany where senior officials in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government have said it should be in schools and government canteens.

In the UK, the case has been almost the opposite with a school in Islington banning pork from the menu since 2011 due to the large Muslim student population. The ban came under criticism from many in 2015 who argued that students should at least have a choice.

Plus the French might demand they eat pork, as a promotion of secular values.

This is nothing new on the continent.

Now let us compare to the UK:

Over 2,000 Israeli Yemenite Jews and supporting activists gathered in Jerusalem last Wednesday to mark an annual day of awareness for what families say was a state-sponsored program to abduct Yemenite Jewish infants and other Israeli children born to parents who were recent immigrants from Arab countries.

Known as the Yemenite Children Affair, in the first decade after the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, there was a systematic kidnapping of newborn Yemenite children, carried out by Israeli hospitals and government institutions. Mothers, who often were in Israel for a short time and did not speak Hebrew, would enter hospitals or other state facilities to give birth. Once the child was born medical staff told the parents the child died unexpectedly. Yet none of the families were shown bodies or burial documents. Many of the families did not practice any mourning ceremonies because they believed their missing children were still alive.

The babies who went missing, parents claim, were given away to childless Ashkenazi families (Jews of European descent–the dominant ethnic group in Israel at the time), leaving the Yemenite families with no answers regarding their children’s fate. In most cases, the families were told the children died unexpectedly.
