HUNDREDS of illegal immigrants housed in a Red Cross refugee centre outside Calais are laying siege nightly to a freight depot on the French side of the Channel, it was disclosed yesterday.
As another 57 illegal immigrants - Afghans, Iraqis and Iranians - were discovered at the Kent depot of the freight service yesterday, industry sources disclosed that 300-500 people from Sangatte refugee centre were storming the marshalling yards at Frethun, near Calais, every night.
Security guards there have been beaten up and stoned by the immigrants, many of whom are so desperate to reach Britain that they cling to trains as they head for the Channel Tunnel.
Last week, 84 immigrants were found on the trains in one day. At the Dollands Moor depot near Folkestone yesterday, eight men were found under one train and, 49 were discovered in or under the next train to arrive.
On Monday 28 illegal immigrants were found hidden in compartments in a coach at Dover. Many needed urgent medical attention.
You beat me to it. Yes, isn't diversity beautiful? We need more of this. In a few years we will make Bosnia look like a badminton match.
