1,200 migrants – mainly from Eritrea, Sudan and Afghanistan, with groups from Somalia, Pakistan and Chad – are now camped out in Calais' forests, hoping one day to cross the Channel to Britain.

In his 20 years as a lorry driver, Sean Baker, a former soldier, thought he had seen it all.
But nothing, he said, compares to the chaos in Calais at the moment.
"Just this morning I was filling up my truck with fuel and two migrants jumped in," he said. "I shouted at them and they hopped out. It's mayhem. It happens every hour.
"I had one yesterday, from Sudan, who offered to give me €400 if I took him to England. I said: 'Are you mad?!' and he then upped it to €600."
Based in Dover and making the crossing once a week, Mr Baker – who didn't want to give his real surname "in case I lose my temper and punch one of them" said he had had enough. A father of three children at university and college, he has resorted to carrying a metal bar for protection. And now he is planning on leaving his job.
"Before it used to be the occasional Afghan – but now it's all the time. I've never seen anything like these past couple of months," he said. "This is a thousand times worse."
Calais is facing a rapidly-growing crisis. The city estimates that 1,200 migrants – mainly from Eritrea, Sudan and Afghanistan, with groups from Somalia, Pakistan and Chad – are now camped out in the city's forests, industrial estates and empty squat houses.
And tensions have reached boiling point. Earlier this week, reportedly sparked by the Sudanese rape of an Eritrean girl, there were violent confrontations between rival groups, which escalated into a turf war...

A mere drop in the bucket, compared to all the dirtbags that are streaming across our southern border. I wonder if Obama told them that the Brits would give them lots of welfare money too?
Sad. How ironic - Polish workers beating up African immigrants for wanting to get to England. Sad.
OMG! I was planning on using the CHUNNEL in April, but this sure changed my mind!!!
Hey, sounds like you could make some extra spending money! LOL
On the bright side, I think I saw several peaceloving Muzzies with major league potential as pitchers, in the video.
And liberals worldwide are welcoming their doom with open arms.
I would say it's almost too late to do anything, but I think it's already too late. Nothing can or will be done to stop this. Blood will flow in the streets eventually, mark my words.
Read it and watched the video.
Like a spreading disease.
When they start to come across England will need another storm like the one that hit the Spanish Armada.
"I liked Greece, and wanted to stay on the island of Andros," she said. But the rise of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn changed her plan. "Then everyone hated black people. So I wanted to leave.
Those southern Europeans are so tolerant of other peoples, so I am told.
Sounds like Golden Dawn is saving Greece then.
Idiot French...for letting uncontrolled ILLEGALS into their country.
...hmmm.
I wouldn't let this put you off. If you're on a Eurostar train, they pass through Calais at speed. If you're loading a car on to the tunnel shuttles, the loading area is completely separate from the truck loading area, and it's the trucks that these people are targetting, not cars. I've passed through the tunnel numerous times without ever seeing a hint of the migrants or their camps.
Picture some foaming zealot mooselimb setting himself off in the middle of the tube and sea water squirting out of both ends. I'm glad you changed your mind.
