It is unacceptable that the French operation to demolish the camp, which has been planned for weeks, now risks putting vulnerable children at greater risk.

Disgraceful.

Yes it is disgraceful from The French, they couldn't even add up how buses were needed

Should it have been 100% their responsibility?

It's on French soil so they will have control over logistics, I can't imagine them handing that over to the UK seeing as the camp residents are being bussed to various Areas in France. The UK are handling the movement of minors who have links to the UK but the French suspended that for 24 hours so they are in control

Never let the facts get in the way of a good ole anti-UK non-argument.

It's a border... we have equal responsibility.
There are agreements made between countries, also we have a duty to aid both the people in the camps and the French, that is key here.

The UK were only allowed into the camp in the last week to locate the minors, where is the equality in that? the UK are contributing 39 million to help clear the camp, and relocate the migrants, as well as taking over half of the minors

Its not on our side of the border though, so responsibility is not equal. We have no jurisdiction on French soil, and the illegal camp is on French soil, not UK soil.

I have to say, with winter approaching fast, if we are concerned about humanitarian issues, we should be looking at our homeless in the UK. They have far less protection, security and facilities available to them than the immigrants on French soil. We actually have no duty what so ever to look after anyone in the French camps.
