Calais strikes: travel chaos as 150 migrants attempt to storm Channel Tunnel - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Swebonny;48120502][IMG]http://www.standard.co.uk/incoming/article10338537.ece/alternates/w620/channeltunnel.jpg[/IMG] This looks legal to you? I don't mind striking, but they're literally burning tires, blocking the roads and shit. Anyhow my point is, the authorities aren't inactive because of the fear of being called racist. It's due to a lot of factors, but it's certainly easier and suits the far-right narrative better to the police and the government cowards.[/QUOTE] That fire is damaging the road, so that maybe makes it illegal enough for the police to break up the protest and take them in custody.

To me, from an American perspective, it just seems so wrong to take no action when people's lives are being put in danger (from the more general issue of immigrants trying to break into the trucks to get to the UK); though it's just that, so I won't pretend to understand the nuances of the issue that the French government has to deal with.

[QUOTE=Swebonny;48120357]Why do you keep doing this in threads that deals with matters like this? Just a few days ago you called for BDA to stop doing what you're doing right now. Furthermore, who in their right minds would call dealing with these literal criminals an racist act?[/QUOTE] BDA implied that SH is wrongfully accusing every Muslim there is off being a savage, which frankly (apart from some surely existing wackjobs) is absolutely ridiculous, and plainly ignorant of the real issues that people may have, be it regarding Muslims or any other controversial, delicate issue like that. Obviously it's hard to speak out on those, because you'd just get called a racist and bigot (and banned), which is essentially what I'm poking fun at here - it's undeniably a similar issue connected to cultures, religions, and minorities etc.

The French government know that the migrants are using them as a stepping stone. They don't have any music to face so they aren't putting any resources into it, which is just fucking gutless.

It's a shame to see that they're turning their heads up.

man this is like if 28 days later started on the continent instead of uk

the police should arrest the migrants then build them a small caged camp then call it a zoo, people could pay money to watch them running around in their natural habitat.
