The camp has been housing some 7,000 people in squalid conditions.
Migrants queued peacefully to be processed, and the first of some 60 coaches that will carry them to refugee centers across France, has now left.
There is concern that some migrants will refuse to go because they still want to get to Britain, and there were some clashes over the weekend.
The demolition of the camp is expected to take place on Tuesday.

The UK has begun to accept some of the estimated 1,300 unaccompanied children from the camp.


The migrants are being placed into separate queues to determine who are in families, travelling alone or whether they are in vulnerable categories.

After processing they will leave for various parts of France and be given the opportunity to claim asylum. If they do not, they could face deportation.

What are you views, Do you agree with France?

Allowing them into the UK is a big problem, we have enough trouble at the moment.

We pay up to £4000/week per refugee child.

Meanwhile children already in the care system within Kent (south east UK) are getting moved around the country (away from friends, any family, familiarity) and being replaced by refugees. I don't like the current system, we can't cope with our own population, let alone adding potentially thousands of more children into the social service mix.

yes, but it is a vicious system
i will make you a flowchart:
Libya/Tunisia

Italy

France/Austria

UK

if you block a link in the chain, all gets fucked up. if the UK builds a wall on the french border, and the French on the Italians, the italians have two solutions:
A) shoot them like Malta did
B) turn a blind eye to passeurs and let them smuggle immigrants outside the borders
so, why not lighting them up? three reasons:
1) the public opinion
2)EU conventions
3) impossibility to destroy every single wreck
i just wish the EU had the courage to send tanks to destroy those fucking walls.

Give em' to Merkel.
