I saw a news report on my mobile phone news feed the other day that said all EU media companies have been told to "not create hysteria" and "tone down" the level of reporting regarding migrant flows in to the EU.

The so called "refugee camps" in Greece for example have been having daily riots with buildings set on fire, but the media has covered very little of this.
In fighting between Africans and Arabs and also between different versions of Islam.
Along with the INCREASING numbers of migrants making their way from the entire 3rd-world to the EU has been unusually quiet by the EU's media.

Italy is preparing to issue temporary visas to all that are given free ferry rides to its borders, as a punishment to the EU for not providing aid and solutions to Italy.

I can't remember the last time that Calais made the TV news. Even though the level of incidents is said to be on the increase.


(trying to find the news feed link on my phone, but unfortunately seems to now have been overwritten by a story about Elon Musk and some comments he has made regarding migrant flow in the EU)

This has been going on for ages! Hence the rise in Youtube 'news' sites from the likes of Rebel Media and Paul Watson et al.

Yup, just another day for the liberals...

But let all this hate speech not stop us from helping poor children. Like 12yr old Musab Idris for example, pictured here after he won a race on sports day in his school:

There was a report on the news a week or so ago about some charity in Italy being given a million a week by the EU towards helping these lawyers, doctors ect.
It amounted to a big tent and three cups of rice a day per person.

What facts? An article from a year ago and some pictures from your personal agenda-file.

Just completely separate, I'm off to France & Belgium on Monday.

This issue, is it only at the Ferry port or am I going to have potential trouble going to the eurotunnel too?

Is it only lorries that are being targeted - do they care about cars? (not that I'll have anywhere to put one, 2-up in an Exige)

I came back via Eurotunnel maybe ten days ago having gone out a week before.

Didn't see a thing, although it was mostly speed cameras I was looking out for. You'll be fine.

Saw loads of doctors, lawyers and cultural enriching individuals on the run into the Calais ferry port 3 weeks ago as well as numerous vanloads of DSG riding up and down the approach roads. Certainly hasn't abated as far as I can see and I see that the Calaid camps are growing again.

It's only anecdotal evidence, I'm afraid, but all I can offer is that my wife & I went for a long weekend in Bruges two weeks ago and sailed into Calais. Now, we saw no-one attempting to hijack lorries / cars whatever either exiting or entering the port. What we did notice was all the way from the port to the E40 there was brutal looking security fencing alongside both carriageways which, one would assume, was i) erected at some considerable expense and ii) seemed to be extremely effective indeed.

Take from that what you will, really, but we're certainly no longer wary of resuming our regular wine & 'baccy runs that's for sure.

Sooooo....... Pointing out obvious lies makes someone an utter st towards their fellow human beings?

I personally think someone telling lies is worse and a good example of their lack of scruples and morals.

If the migrants have such sums to spend on getting here, why on earth do they need/want to come here!

Because they don't want to stay in the EU? wink
