Questions have been raised about Britain's response to the crisis, with some arguing the UK's labour laws are to blame for the growing number of migrants trying to cross the Channel.

Former French employment minister Xavier Bertrand, who is running for mayor in the Calais region, told Sky News: "They (migrants) don't want to stay in Calais.

"They want to go to England to find a job because they know it is possible to work without an identity card.

"In England, you have to change your policy."

It’s been pointed out time and again by the French and others that Britain, is going over and above what is legally required when it comes to benefits, for asylum seekers and economic improvers.
Maybe if we did things the French way none of this mess would have happened, time to harmonise our policy with the French.
