[quote]As he drove down the road, he saw two migrants dragging bollards from the temporary lane divider into the path of his eighteen ton lorry. He swerved to avoid running over the bollard, narrowly missing the two migrants, and veered dangerously near to the roadside verge. It's an escalation of the danger he has faced over the past few years as the migrant crisis in Calais has grown.
"There's no end of drivers that have stopped coming out here because it's getting to the stage where it's not safe to come out."
The strike by French ferry workers on Tuesday made the problem worse as traffic was backed up further down the motorway. This provided an irresistible opportunity for the thousands of migrants in Calais desperate to make it to the UK, but the dangers facing drivers have been increasing for years.
Migrants are now putting obstacles in the road to stop the lorries, but for Mr Needham the next step may well be attacks on drivers' vehicles.
"Our government aren't doing anything to help and it's only a matter of time before one of us is killed out here", he says.[/quote]
Fifty men and fifty rifles would keep these people in check.

By the sound of it, the French government couldn't care less. Better the migrants assault lorry drivers and force them to take them to Britain than have said violent migrants stuck in Calais where the French law enforcement has to take them in or let them riot.
Perhaps I'm being too harsh on them. I'm not sure the police can cope with the level of desperation these people have. I guess that shows how highly these immigrants rate our glorious country... sigh.
Why can't they just send the fucking army there or something? It's clear that the police is useless.

The die-hard liberals won't ever let that happen until they have a gun to their head themselves and by then it will be too late.

I've watched some of the Police vids and I just feel bad for them. The areas basically been ceded control of by France and they're stuck doing a job where they can't exercise authority.

As the truck driver said, it will take a person dying to make there be a legitimate reaction.
Yeah that is rather sad that if you have a police force and they cannot even do something about this menace that is the migrants, now if the migrants do not have the resources to eat or have shelter then I do feel for them. Though it seems that they are just being a menace because they have do not know better from where they come from.
why dont the UK send police over to assist the French, its both our border. France are doing all the hard work to stop people getting into the UK, makes no sense.

Calais is owned by France, it is their teritory, therefore it is their responsiblity. These immigrants got into France because of Frances lack of proper border control, it is their mess and their mess only to clean up.

The hell are you talking about? What the fuck is badass about faulty border control and lorry drivers under threat of fucking attack by dirtbag people with nothing to lose?

British border patrol is already active in Belgium and France.

Yeah, but it's their side of our border, we can't exactly just march riot cops over there as much as it might help control things.

Doesn't your border with Mexico have smugglers with submarines, armed militias, cartels who execute people with chainsaws and a big network of sensors to detect people coming across?
Better Mad Max the trucks so drivers can just tear through the barricades.
Armed guards in every truck, anyone that tries to board, shoot them.
They'll swiftly stop trying to climb into the trucks.
Holy shit so many people
It might start again on Friday. MyFerryLink were demonstrating because they were sold to DFDS, and they shut up shop that day. With nothing for the union to regulate they could strike indefinitely.
Luckily my dad doesn't deliver to Europe yet.
We should sent a troop detachment to the calais port to stop them from climbing the fence constantly and attempting to break into trucks and much worse

If we don't take up a hard line now, more and more will come.
Yeah, shoot on side is a shit idea for, well, humanitarian reasons alone, but just letting them all get in unopposed instead of sending them back or deciding who gets asylum outside of Europe is also a bad idea.
FYI most asylum seekers are denied asylum, but they are never send back and just stick around because deportations aren't enforced
Don't expect anything from the current French government. They're a bunch of idiots with no balls. If a cop was to hit a migrant with his stick, he'd end up being in trouble.
Migrants on the other hand, can hit the French whenever they want, we'll blame it on their harsh life or worse, our society treating them badly.

I imagine assaulting passersby is universally frowned upon

Just fit a cow catcher and you could go through most of that shit.
It blows my mind how they can even get away with that. On the Canadian border at least you'd be spotted on x-ray and clubbed by the CBSE as you tried to flee, if not outright shot at.

It's okay, we can always send a few to Canada to live with you.
