Outside the police station some people from these associations and members of Calais Witnesses, Calais Migrant Solidarity and No Borders are demonstrating noisily, warning against collaboration with the authorities.

One wonders why we have a policy of flying out dangerous criminals immigrants who have finished their sentences, to only let another set back in again.

If people are coming from countries where they throw acid in each other's faces and run around with AK47s and rocket launchers, then it stands to reason that they will be above average risk of being violent nutters.
