A MOSQUE, church and school have been bulldozed after migrants in the Calais Jungle were given just one hour to scramble from the makeshift shanty town.
Volunteers and refugees rushed to save possessions and clear out shelters as French authorities began tearing down the places of worship and a school.
More than 1,500 migrants have been evicted after the French government decided to create a 100-metre buffer zone between the Jungle and the nearby road to protect lorries from attacks.

People have posted videos from Calais truck drivers.
The scene is downright scary
How long before the Frenchies give all Muzzies one day to get the freak out of Frenchlandia?
Church just for show - no loss
Given the likely approvals requried to allow this I very much doubt it was only an hours notice more likely several days and then when the dozers arrived a one hour notice that they were moving forward at a set time and weren’t kidding
Any write ups of the history of the area. What is the jungle reference about?

Normally, you kill invaders ... so this is downright merciful, even if they don't all survive the trip home.
