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.

Round them up.
Ship them back.
Send out the French Navy to make sure NO more cross the Mediterranean.
if they are killed in Calais, they can’t get through the tunnel
If it is truly war, then killing is justified
It is ok if they stab and kill people.
It is an invasion. The really sick part being our so called “leadership” is financing the invasion with our money.
I predicted this when I heard about Calais as a migrant camp, but I thought they’d be launching boats. Calais is the closest point to England on the Channel.
No, no, no. They are refugees just like Jesus in Egypt. < sarc/off >
Google image ‘calais migrants’ to get a better idea of the situation.
Seems to me an enterprising MC club or Italian social club might consider this an opportunity to provide security on a fee-for-service basis...
It looks like someone evil is dumping a huge amount of highly reactive catalyst into a more or less stable, somewhat heterogeneous mixture, apparently just to see the exothermic reaction.
I keep having this mental picture of an evil someone somewhere laughing and telling his evil buddies:
"Hey, watch this. This is gonna blow up real good!"
Hindsight is 20/20 and we'll look back and see how this and we were played.
While chaos is a given, there appears to be nothing random about obama's foreign policy plans for the Middle East and beyond.
One thing leads to another...
Coming soon to America.
I see a potential job opportunity. Riding shot gun.
...refugees just like Jesus in Egypt.....
Or the Moors in Spain.
Or the Turk’s in Constantinople, the Mongols in China, the Japanese in the Philippines, the Germans in Poland....
All just poor, misunderstood, freedom loving refugees.
Or riding ma deuce.
Too bad the truckers are not armed.
That's the second thought that came to mind while reading this.
The first, In a bid to tackle the problem the Road Hauliers Association (RHA) has set up a "Calais Incident Reporting Hotline" I was thinking of the "RHA Protection Volunteer Society".
