Britain still within reach: By Clea Caulcutt, BBC News, Saint Germain-sur-Ay

BBC Tues 25 Oct 16

Forty-five migrants, all young men from Afghanistan, are settling into the Miramar hotel, an empty holiday centre that looks out to sea.
At the local pizzeria, residents have gathered to vent their discontent. They complain that the migrants will disturb the tranquillity of the resort. They are also worried that the young men will be unsupervised and break into homes that have been closed up for the winter.
Less vocal are those who don't mind the arrival of the Afghan migrants, those who think it's only human to welcome those who have spent so many months in the squalor of Calais.
For the migrants, it should be a short stay. They will be encouraged to claim asylum in France and then maybe move onto more permanent housing. But even here, several hundred kilometres from Calais, the allure of the UK is still strong.
From the hotel you can clearly see the island of Jersey - British shores are still without reach.

In years to come, the politicians both in Europe and the UK will be damned for the ruination of their homelands!

I fear it's only a matter of time before we see a civil war in western Europe!
