Stop being so generous to migrants: French plea to Britain after Dunkirk suburb is over-run

The mayor of a French village invaded by migrants has called on Britain to halt handouts to deter them from crossing the Channel.
His comments came after makeshift tents appeared in the Dunkirk suburb of Teteghem, which is less than five miles from the main port.
Fears are growing there that it could become the site of a new ‘Jungle’ – the infamous ghetto in nearby Calais which was torn down last year.
Franck Dhersin, a former MP and adviser to President Nicolas Sarkozy, says his village cannot cope, and pointed the finger at Britain’s benefits system.

He told the Daily Mail: ‘The reason the migrants keep coming to France and slipping over the Channel is because the UK is too generous with them.
'Stop giving them money and a place to live and they will soon go somewhere else. End of problem.’
He revealed that his village was currently home to 200 Afghans, Iraqis, Kurds, Sudanese, Vietnamese, Eritreans and Palestinians.

    Mr Dhersin and the rest of the French must know that our politicians are a bunch of prats but,the European Union are holding the strings of our dancing puppets in Westminster.
    If every person who loves this country wrote one letter in this coming week to order, yes order our paid servants to stop benefits and the giving of houses to anyone and everyone who has not contributed by work to the system for at least five years and to stop immigration to anyone who cannot support themselves and their families, end of!!
