BRITISH holidaymakers were caught in travel chaos after 100 migrants stormed a ship in Calais in a bid to get to the UK last night. Brits were left stranded on ferries and the port closed for an hour during the incident
46 migrants who climbed abroad a ferry that arrived from Dover were arrested by French police. They entered the hub at around 8:30pm and used ladders to get on the ship.
Two of those who stormed the port fell into the water and had to be rescued by fire crews.
A number of ferries set to arrive from Britain were 'held' in open water, while some were cancelled.
A source told the MailOnline that hundreds of immigrants stormed the port at around 8:30pm with ferries being ordered 'not to dock' while the situation was dealt with.

All of this means more security will have to be added to ports, and cost dumped upon travelers to cover. You’d have to bump up security personnel by the hundreds.

I know some might consider us mouth breathers, but from this side of the pond that sounds rather (really) lame.

This proves that white English people are dangerous.

I was told that stowaways when found on ships are thrown overboard if found at sea because captains don’t want their ships impounded by immigration.

I get the impression these “migrants” were not women and children.
