A man has been killed as at least 1,500 migrants tried to enter the Channel Tunnel in Calais on Tuesday night, French police have said. Eurotunnel, which says incursions are now a nightly occurrence, said migrants had been removed from the site but freight services were still disrupted.

Lorry driver Sean Swan took 23 hours to travel from the M20 to Calais on Tuesday and said he only got through because he was carrying live fish. "I was given a police escort from Junction 8 all the way to Dover, even after making the officer aware that it was now illegal for me to drive. "We bypassed thousands of stranded lorries. At one stage I felt drunk with tiredness at the wheel of a 44 tonne machine." He said in the past month, migrants had managed to board the train on every journey he made from France to Britain. Drivers found with migrants hiding on their vehicles can be fined but many are afraid to challenge them. "They are jemmying the padlocks off, with hammers, crowbars and Stanley knives. "On one side you risk your life and on the other you risk your livelihood."

Cameron is acting like this is about inconvenienced vacationers?!
Do you see how utterly WORTHLESS the French government and the Prime Minister are? Lordy! It’s like all the heads of state signed the same suicide pact!
Same kind of situation we have here with illegal greasers.
I think they are us, only a ways down the road.
They are destroying Europe and the UK. They should be kicked out.
An illegal mexican shot and killed my cousin David as he sat in his car here in Houston in 1995! The filthy scumbag was trying to carjack David but he couldn’t get David’s body out of the car to drive it off. Because he was spending so much time trying to pull my cousin out from behind the steering wheel, the police happened to drive by, stopped and took that illegal bast*rd away. This illegal cr*ap has got to be slowed down or stopped wherever it is takes place.
You can stop this by cutting off Welfare, which the politicians will not do.
Cross-Channel invasions and Calais, in the news once again.

They’re illegal invaders, dumbass!
Flood the Chunnel.
Now.
The Amish again??!?
The Bloody Frogs

FTA: He is the ninth person to die trying to access the tunnel since June.

France needs to ship these maniacs out of their country.
You’re pretty much done if you can’t properly police a TUNNEL!
Very true!
Camp of the Saints should be required reading.
The Camp of the Saints is not a work of fiction, it is a prophecy.
That’s what worries me about a lot of dystopian stuff. We need more real world rubber meeting the road types in the elite universities. More veterans, more successful retired businessmen to give their perspectives instead of just profs who have never ventured out of the Ivory towers. Otherwise you have scary-stupid stuff going on like this with no-one in the halls of power raising a finger!
