Britain could face food shortages this summer thanks to the growing migrant crisis in Calais, hauliers have warned.
Freight trucks have already faced severe delays, with queues now five miles longer than the Channel Tunnel itself, as they try to cross into Europe. Now haulage firms say the delays could cause shortages of key supplies, thus causing food prices to shoot up.
The Daily Mail reports that some truck drivers have been stuck in their cabs for days, requiring emergency food and water supplies as well as chemical toilets. At its peak, the queue reached 36 miles and barely moved 500 yards in two days. It is now expected to reduce in length over the weekend, but many drivers will still be stranded for the next few days.
Jack Semple, director of policy at the Road Haulage Association, said: It is really disrupting supplies. You can no longer guarantee supplies will be delivered on time.
Companies importing produce, but also components, are switching to air freight which is more expensive. This will also push up prices.
It is not just delays that could lead to shortages. Migrants clambering aboard trucks carrying food are contamination supplies, sometimes even urinating on them. All contaminated supplies have to be destroyed.

Anarchy in the world, especially North Africa, is just one of the causes of this movement. The other would be welfare enticements specifically. The anarchy is caused by Obama withdrawing American power and influence from the world, and the wars started by Hillary Clinton. I don’t know if she did it just for the money, or if she thinks she is an expert geopolitical strategist. Whatever the cause, it is a complete and total disaster. Now she wants to apply her “fix” on America.
Time for another D-Day.
Let me into your country so that I can take your money and ignore your laws... and until you do, I’ll destroy your food and supplies. See how much you should want me in your country?
Shoot them.
“Migrants” - the modern-day U-boats.
Appears the World, NOT JUST the U.S.A need some leadership with balls.
Shortages?.
Not going by the supermarkets and shops I have returned from an hour ago.
I was just in London 2 weeks ago and I did not see any shortages. I went to a Sainsbury and Waitrose. However, way too many Arabs.
Contrary to recent myth, its been like that since the 60’s.
“Time for another D-Day.”

Yeah,right.
LSTs full of Millennials?
I think not.

These immigrants come from countries completely reliant on aid from “Anglo” countries, many of which are now demanding reparations. The independence movements of Africa have been an abject failure. Asia has become an economic powerhouse (imperfect but functioning), while several decades after Africans won self-determination (on a continent rich in agricultural & mineral resources) Africa is still just hordes of blacks with outstretched palms - the only difference being they now have a “black 1%”.
Set loose the Gurkhas!
Africans are even trying to immigrate to South Africa, which is relatively light years ahead of the rest of the continent, and it is resulting in riots just as is happening in Europe.
I know many Zimbabweans are crossing the border (to get into a country with a semblance of white administration); they complain of the hostile treatment there by South African blacks.

Shoot them.
That’s right; they certainly don’t in Chicago, Baltimore, or Newark...
