Daughter just asked me what the French police / authorities do with anyone caught trespassing or attempting to board a lorry or caught in the tunnel itself.

With the numbers apparently involved, theres no way they can arrest and detain them all - detention centres / prisons would be overflowing.

Do they just send them back to the camps which have sprung up - so they try again the next night.

Have to say I felt a bit lame saying "err, they just move them on - now finish your tea!".

Before we get the usual - they should just shoot them / dump them in the channel etc comments - this is not a question about the rights and wrongs, would just like to give a better answer to a question!

You are correct in thinking they are released to try again.

Cheers Sica - thought that would be the case.

I may not be David Cameron or Hollande - but not sure that is going to work!

Managing rather than solving the problem involves more overtime.

The French want rid of them and secretly help them.

If Cameron had any guts he would send the French ambassador home.

Indeed, the French are doing what every British person would do.
