What's happening at Calais is relevant to the Schengen agreement (or at least Britain's refusal to sign up for it).
How is it relevant? Do tell.

A couple of years ago, a German told me they have problems with the amount of Turks now in the country?.
please,what is the schengen plan????Is that about border checks???
Free movement of EU citizens. The UK have never signed up to it, hence we still have to go through passport checks airports.
when you fly from England to Germany,you must go through border controls ,everytime..maybe they are trying to wind us up??Must always show passport
That's because the UK hasn't signed up to Schengen, (unlike Germany).You'll have noticed that citizens of most other civilised European nations, which have signed up for Schengen, only need to show their identity card ( not passport),when travelling in Europe,when they go through border controls.
We don't have identity cards, so would we have to show our passports anyway?
Logically,although the UK doesn't even accept the identity cards of its own nationals living in other EU states (like me).
Go figure.
No idea. However, I do believe it was Thatcher that wanted to bring in identity cards (mainly to combat football hooliganism) but pretty much everyone else in the country was against it.
Assuming most people are still against identity cards, then there really is no need (or benefit) for us to sign up.
I've never qreally understood the (so-called) libertarian argument against ID cards.
Personally,(as a freelance), I find my ID card very useful when asking for receipts/proving my identity etc.
Just read the article. Lost for words, makes you want to scream. Can you imagine going back to the days when the likes of 'Bill Gosling' were coppers?. He'd have sorted it out in half hour!.

Me neither. Glad they got shelved.

Yep. It's a good job nobody has access to the combined details related to your NI card, your mobile phone records and DVLA information isn't it?
