The thing that really Pi$$es me off about this situation is that the people in that place actually think they have a right to be there..
Most (All) have entered europe illegally, if they are claiming asylum then they have gone the wrong way about. Common knowledge says "first safe country" not well lets see what we can get and pick out this one over that. If you are fleeing a situation then surely you would simply be happy to be in any safe place??..

Clashes broke out as demolition teams dismantled huts in part of a migrant camp known as the Jungle in the French port of Calais.
Riot police fired tear gas after migrants began throwing boulders inside the camp. At least 12 shacks were set ablaze, reports say.
What a absolute turd sandwich this situation is turning into...

After being in existence for many years the " Calais Migrant Jungle " is being demolished. About time most people would say.
Britain has a referendum in June 2016 to either stay or exit The E.U.
What a coincidence that the Jungle is being demolished just 4 months before the referendum. Coincidence my foot. The French must think we are barmy.

Don't worry yourself, our Prime Minister called them 'A bunch of migrants'. He has portrayed them as lower than lower class, but of course he would. He's an elite, we're all lower than low to him.

I agree, I never understood why people were so offended at Cameron's remark...since when has referring to a group of people as a "bunch" been offensive? And yes, they are migrants, and many are economic ones at that.

Are they migrants? Yes, they are migrants regardless of the reason the wish to migrate - that's what the word migrant means.
Are they a bunch? Yes, they are a group of individuals gathered together...

So, what Cameron said is completely correct - are you more irritated as he used it to refer to Corbyn meeting them, or Polly Toynbee and the Gaurdianistas getting their pants in a flap? It's nothing to do with being lower than the lower class unless that's how you want to read it based on your own bias.

Thanks, it just seems to me that people are looking at something to be offended by and choosing something that ultimately is nothing.
