European Commission diplomats will meet later today to discuss sending a rapid response team from Frontex - the 28-member bloc's border force - to process asylum claims before they reach the UK.

Guards would then be able to deport migrants before they manage to cross the Channel.

The move comes as hundreds more migrants attempted the hazardous crossing via the Channel Tunnel on Monday night.

Eurotunnel confirmed 600 people were found in the areas surrounding the Calais terminal, while 400 tried to enter and 180 were "intercepted on site".

It is hoped using the EU border agency would discourage migrants from travelling to Calais in the first place - and from attempting to board lorries and trains bound for the UK once there.

But officials are keen to avoid setting up another version of the Sangatte migrant camp that was closed in 2002.

Fears were also raised that Britain could be forced into accepting more migrants under a deal to prevent illegal entry to the UK.

Home Secretary Theresa May will this afternoon meet with her French counterpart Bernard Cazeneuve and Dimitris Avramopoulos, the EU commissioner in charge of home affairs including migration policy, to discuss Brussels' response to the ongoing crisis.

Among the options being considered is to use a former children's centre in Calais that was transformed into a refuge centre at the start of the year.

British authorities said they were not seeking a similar arrangement with the Warsaw-based border agency for guards to be stationed on the Kent coast.

Frontex was established in 2004 to coordinate border controls across the EU.

It has been working to stem the flow of migrants crossing the Mediterranean from north Africa to Europe, which is widely-blamed for the current crisis in Calais.

A view of the migrant camp known as the new Jungle in Calais
Yesterday, a former adviser to the UK government called on Britain to take in some refugees in Calais in a bid to resolve the problem.

Nick Pearce called for United Nations officials to be brought in to register migrants massed at the French port.

He suggested it would pave the way for a deal between the French and British authorities that would be similar to the agreement struck ahead of the closure of the Sangatte camp.

The Government has yet to formalise a plan to house Calais migrants en masse in Britain.


But, ahead of discussions with EU officials this afternoon, ministers have announced plans to ease the build up of traffic caused by long queues of lorries on the M20 under Operation Stack.

Manston Airport in Kent will now be used as a temporary lorry park amid the ongoing disruption to cross-Channel rail and ferry services.

So what ? That doesn't mean they should sit on their knees and accept to be wiped out by an alien culture.

Or,maybe,some 50 million Brits,heck,some 200 million more native Western Europeans should commit a mass suicide and let Africans,Asians to settle in their homes as a "sry for the past"...Will that work out for you and the rabid extreme left ?

Agree. Dont know what he is trying to prove by that. Lool. Theres no relation/link between the two By his own reasoning Japanese should all commit suicide and allow their former colonies to take over their country as a sorry gesture. Lool

Anyway, its true we need to regulate immigration and let mostly qualified educated professional come here. The uneducated/illitrates/islamic ones should be only allowed after proper screening and only if theyare really in danger of death in their own dictatorial home country.

I believe you cant take a joke...

Or maybe you didnt watch/ understand the video...

The past is a fact that happened....The past comes back to hunt is not just a proverb from thin air but is a living nightmare...

When you go about plundering people in the past....Now it takes a few generations to get new results....And a few generations ago Europe was in everyone's land now its their turn to show their level sufferings (though no one will be killing you on the sword as demonstrated rightly by the comedian as to what had happened in his country)


Denying the atrocities isnt going to make the past ok...It has happened and has resulted in a butterfly effect....

Agree. Dont what he is trying to prove by that.

Denying the past isnt leading you guys anywhere

Lool By his own reasoning Japanese should all commit suicide and allow tgeur former colonies to taje over their country as a sorry gesture. Lool

No one is asking you to commit suicide...How old are you child? Do you not understand comedy expressions make you realize what you did through humour?

Anyway, its true we need to regulate immigration and let mostly qualified educated professional come here. The uneducated/illitrates/islamic ones should be only allowed after proper screening and only if theyare really in danger of death in their own dictatorial home country.

Well, that is what your govt claims yet people who do heinous crimes in Africa and Asia are given refugee status in UK ...No secret there!
