Texas Wingnuts claimed that secret tunnels were built to allow the Chinese army to invade Amurica.

Is the Wingnut community in a frenzy, now that 150 migrants tried to storm the Channel Tunnel terminal ?

A Eurotunnel spokesman said: "Eurotunnel reiterates its call to the authorities to provide a solution to the migrant crisis and restore order to the Calais region."

Kent Police reinstated Operation Stack on Sunday, just hours after the contingency plan, which sees freight traffic queued on sections of the M20, had been brought to an end.

But it was lifted again by about 3pm, with police warning motorists of residual delays.

That's not as crazy as it might sound. :eek: There are secret tunnels between Mexico and the US, but they were dug by drug smugglers and coyotes. http://content.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1895418,00.html

A brief suspension of Eurotunnel services on Friday night, after migrants got into the Eurotunnel from the French side, led to long delays for passengers travelling from Folkestone on Saturday. Parts of the M20 motorway were shut for a further day, to allow lorries waiting to cross the channel to queue.

Operation Stack has been in effect for 13 days out of the past 20 as a result of disruption at Calais caused by the migrant crisis, industrial action by ferry workers and protests by French farmers.

John Keefe, Eurotunnel’s spokesman, said that disruption from migrants “making attempts to get on to trucks, to climb over fences, to get close to the trains” had become a nightly occurrence, leading to shutdowns. He described the situation as a “humanitarian crisis” and urged governments on both sides of the Channel to commit to “serious action” to stop the flow of migrants into the port.

Mr Keefe added that Eurotunnel had been issuing leaflets in nine different languages in migrant camps in Calais, where 5,000 people are now thought to be staying, warning of the dangers of entering the tunnel.


“Everyone talks about ‘the migrants’ in a broad generalisation, but these are individuals with stories and lives, in many cases tragic histories that have brought them to this point,” he said. “They’re living in dreadful conditions around Calais, and they just want one thing, which is to get to the UK.”


It would take 38 copies of the UK, to replace what is in America, now.

I am almost certain, that this kind of disruption was not contemplated, when they first proposed building a tunnel.


5,000 people are gathered close by, and are willing to do anything, to get into the UK

About 2,000 migrants attempted to storm the Eurotunnel terminal in Calais, causing severe delays to cross-Channel rail services and gridlock on UK roads, it has been revealed.

The migrants’ attempts to enter the UK forced the tunnel operator to close the terminal early on Tuesday morning, disrupting rail services for up to an hour and having a knock-on effect on road tailbacks in Kent, Eurotunnel said.

On Tuesday evening, the tunnel operator revealed the scale of the incident, around 12 hours after Kent police reintroduced emergency measures to ease tailbacks on the county’s roads. HGVs heading for the continent were queueing on the M20, with junctions eight to 13 closed to non-freight traffic as part of Operation Stack.


At an Anglo-French conference on migration held in London on Tuesday evening, May also said a deal had been reached with the French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, to step up removals of the Calais migrants.

The attacks come in waves of hundreds of people at a time

Keefe said the migrants were well organised and their actions clearly coordinated. “The attacks come in waves of hundreds of people at a time, so they are overwhelming for the police forces that are there and in the middle of it,” he said.

Eurotunnel had initially only said Tuesday’s disruption was due to “migrant activity”. But the tunnel operator later revealed that, over the course of Monday night, around 2,000 migrants had tried to breach the fences of its Calais terminal.

And I bet the migrants had slanty eyes too.
 
148 migrants got through Eurotunnel to the UK on Monday night, and that is only the number for those who claimed asylum in Folkestone. Many more may have gone further into the UK.

French Police removed about 2,000 from the Eurotunnel site. While they were escorting them offsite, another 800 entered.
 
I drove to Hever Castle today. On the way back, although I was nowhere near Operation Stack, the roads were congested by all the drivers avoiding the M20 as best they could.

Collaborative UK-French border security operation to be announced by Theresa May, as efforts continue to tighten security around Channel crossings

British police will be deployed to Calais to target people-smuggling gangs as part of a new agreement aimed at alleviating the ongoing migrant crisis at the French port.

In the first visit to Calais by a UK government minister since the crisis escalated at the start of the summer, home secretary Theresa May will travel to the town on Thursday to confirm a joint declaration with Bernard Cazeneuve, the French minister of the interior.

Their deal will see officers from the UK based in a new command and control centre in Calais alongside their French counterparts and Border Force personnel.

Officials said the move was aimed at disrupting organised criminals who attempt to smuggle migrants illegally into Northern France and across the Channel by ensuring intelligence and enforcement work is more collaborative. The work of the police contingent will be led by two senior “gold” commanders – one from each country.
They will report regularly to the Home Secretary and her French opposite on the extent of immigration-related criminal activity on both sides of the Channel.

The two countries will also work jointly to ensure networks are dismantled and prosecutions are pursued.
