Calais Truck Drivers: ‘It’s War Out There’ Because Of Migrants

The level of intimidation faced lorry drivers passing through Calais at the hands of migrants is “out of control” and “totally unacceptable”, a spokesman for Britain’s road haulage industry has said. His association has now set up a hotline for drivers to report threatening behaviour by migrants, but drivers using the route have dismissed it as “useless,” saying “it’s a war out there!”

Around 6,000 migrants are currently gathered at Calais, looking for an opportunity to make it across the English Channel into Britain. As their numbers swell, so they are becoming more brazen in their attempts to climb on board lorries headed to the UK.

Drivers have described being threatened at knife and gun point, being beaten with baseball bats and having their trailers slashed as migrants force their way on board, describing the situation as “a war”.

Earlier this year freight firm boss Kevin Hopper said: “It’s just a matter of time now before someone is killed.”

In a bid to tackle the problem the Road Hauliers Association (RHA) has set up a “Calais Incident Reporting Hotline”, handing out thousands of cards featuring the hotline number. They claim that by keeping a record of the intimidation drivers face, they can make sure protection is put in place.

Girls swim the English Chanel, what is the problem with these “migrants”? The very least they could do is steal a boat and sail across.

Round them up.

Ship them back.

Send out the French Navy to make sure NO more cross the Mediterranean.

OR ...

Shoot them.
