Forget Dunkerque, this is Calais

[fretslider]

Trains from London to Europe have been turned back after reports of ‘protesters’ on the tracks, while roads in Calais are being set on alight after strike action by French Ferry Port workers. The perfect storm of incidents has rendered the English Channel effectively closed, with Britain’s Foreign Office telling drivers waiting at Calais to lock their doors to keep potentially violent, would-be migrants away.

UPDATE [6:00PM]: The deputy mayor of Calais has repeated the proposal to move the border frontier between France and England from the English Channel to the South of England itself.

By expanding French territory into mainland Britain, Calais authorities hope to kill the immigration bottleneck that leaves thousands languishing around the town hoping to get to England. They could then travel directly across the Channel to England before meeting a border guard.

Deputy Mayor Mignonet told journalists: “Calais is not the destination. As you’ve heard, (migrants) want to get into trucks, they want to get to England.

“England has got to realise that it is not our responsibility. The English border is in Calais and I’m requesting, such as (Calais mayor) Natacha Bouchart, for the border to be transferred back in Dover and in Folkestone.

“We can’t just accept any more, to be blamed for immigrancy. Again, they want to go to England, they are not coming to Calais, they go through Calais to get to England”.

Mr Deputy Mayor has no chance of moving the frontier.

this problem is ratcheting up and up..but changing boarders will solve nothing
our government has dodge the issue for far too long..unwilling to deal with reality
the strike will of course not help the situation and indeed it may bring the situation to a head
we must reduce any and all benefits to immigrants..and get a backbone..it is a solvable problem...but we need to work in conjunction with other countries on the problem of unwanted incommers..
but first we must change perceptions...and we also have to stop being nice to these people..and rushing round giving them blankets soups etc etc ...
time to act is now...not when overtaken by events

The French have had to close the border with Italy and are turning migrants back.

It's going back down the line.

the entire thing is a farce
a farce which will explode in Europes face one of these days
but borders will have to be closed..for the simple reason migration/immigration is unsustainable at present levels...
and that's before the water runs out....and the exodus really takes off
