Calais goes UP IN FLAMES: Migrants fight to get into UK as ferry workers block harbour
Express ^ | Jul 31, 2015 | MARK REYNOLDS, ROB VIRTUE

FLAMES filled the air in Calais after striking French ferry workers blocked roads with burning tyres leaving the port now resembling a WARZONE.

...

Fires, which are currently blocking access to the harbour, have plunged the crisis zone into further chaos.

It comes after Britain's borders faced more disruption last night as hundreds of migrants including children stormed the Eurotunnel.

David Cameron has said Britain is threatened by a “swarm” of foreigners and the migrant crisis in Calais was likened to a “warzone.”

Migrants were pictured clinging to a lorry as they left the port of Dover, while others in Calais were seen clambering over fences with children in tow.

More than 4,000 increasingly aggressive and desperate migrants largely from war-torn failed African states have stormed through fences in a bid to clamber aboard trains to ‘El Dorado’ UK

...

Eurotunnel earlier revealed that since the beginning of the year it has blocked 37,000 migrants trying to make their way to Britain and that in the last month nine people have died trying to cross the Channel.

...

The Road Haulage Association (RHA) warned that the lives of lorry drivers were now in danger because French police were simply no longer able to cope.

The RHA’s chief executive, Richard Burnett, said: “It has become clear that the French authorities in Calais simply cannot cope. This has become an untenable situation and is obviously now beyond the capabilities of the French police. The RHA strongly repeats its request, made in June, for deployment of the French military to contain, segregate and control the migrant threat.

Were they all shouting “WE WANT OUR FREE SCHIT!!!” while they stormed the trucks?

Third world is storming the UK. Third world is storming the US. This is not unrelated.

Deceptive social architects who are immune from the consequences of turning the UK into a third world are orchestrating it. The same in the US. George Bush and company.

This is all related.

Where is the French Foreign Legion? Those “migrants” will wish the police were still handling it.

The French and English have my deepest sympathies, they bought the Obama Rat, EU, NATO line, now the products of "Arab Spring" are arriving.

Have fun!

The British should set up by the Chunnel as they did at Rourke’s Drift in the movie Zulu. Keep ‘em coming and keep shooting.

...George Bush and company.

A hundred years from now - more or less - an honest history will be written. And that history will say that George Bush was the worst US president, ever. Because of what Bush set in motion, he will be judged worse than James Buchanan, worse than Obama, worse than any of them.
