Okay, well, maybe it’s not that unexpected:

@Telegraph It was only a matter of time. Angela Merkel needs to understand this before opening the floodgates

@Telegraph Pretty lax of the French authorities to allow him to get as far as Calais.

@Telegraph Cameron must stick to his plan to have UNHCR identify the most needy and the responsibility for it.

Others, however, are questioning the veracity of the report:

@Telegraph your story cites a local paper who cannot get the local or national police to corroborate this!

— Naveen (@scottishgooner) September 10, 2015

@Telegraph a local French newspaper w/o citing sources, and the Telegraph took it from there, "let's spread the terror! cuz we r the media!"

@Telegraph @regilmore1 Why risk his life getting smuggled into UK when he could use a false passport? Doesn't make any sense.

@Telegraph @regilmore1 Sounds like scare tactics to make us more afraid. You know, exactly what ISIS want us to do. Media doing their job.

Here’s hoping it is a false alarm, but even if it is, the threat of terrorists slipping into Europe is a real one that needs to be taken seriously and it’s most certainly not “scare tactics” invented by the media.
