..as much as I love France and the French people, it's one of my favourite places in the world....boy of boy does the French officialdom know bureaucracy...no one throws their hands in the air quite like the French..and dealing with something like this which has become a real crisis...?.Lord oh Lord, how those French heads must have hurt...we're their neighbour and an equal part of the joining of the two countries/an equal part of the uniting so we should be helping out to the maximum that we can..and the feeling I get is that we're more helping to the minimum requirement that would fulfil the quota of saying, ok we've done our bit/are doing our bit so that's that...(and the maximum being still using caution as well...)...we can have both I think...humanity and caution...

..I just think as people, we roll over too easily and so compliantly to our government ..(and this is all governments worldwide I would think..)..when the propaganda scare factor is brought into play in manipulation of our fears...they say they can't sustain and can't do more than they're doing...ok then fair enough if you say so, we trust you...but without that propaganda of manipulation on other things that we feel are wrong...we kick and we scream and we shout in demonstration and say screw you government...


..all of the money that has been spent in making schools into academies because that was the thing of the moment and our children's future...?...now it's grammar schools, so was all of that pointless and unnecessary spending..?..being told when you have a child/a family who desperately needs help/that are at breaking point..that sorry, no mental health care available today, maybe when something awful happens, we'll put you on our desk for consideration...this was never an 'either/or' deal of 'helping our own' and solving our own problems, that's the thing... Britain closing the door on everyone, where is the Great in that...we want to Brexit and get it back..?...well do something and get it back then...

Its Pure Politics , Ammi

[:: Why is the camp being destroyed?

A number of reasons. Politics is
playing a big part. France is in
election season. The opposition parties
have pledged to deal with the
Jungle problem. That has prompted
President Francois Hollande,
who is not doing well in
the polls, to do the same. ]
