I’m sure all compassionate people in the UK feel sympathy for migrants, especially the unaccompanied children stranded across the Channel and want to see them safe.
However, the last time I looked at a map Calais was in France.
This begs the question: Apart from providing slum conditions for the migrants, what tangible efforts are the French authorities making to alleviate the problem in their own back yard?
Calais should not be a forwarding point for human parcels and the French need to contribute in a practical way.
