On the rampage in Calais: Shocking footage shows hundreds of migrants stealing
The Daily Mail ^ | 26 December 2015 | Imogen Calderwood

Astonishing footage from Calais has captured the moment hundreds of migrants stormed the streets in an attempt to break into the Eurotunnel on Christmas Day.

Car drivers were forced to squeeze through the crowds of people - many of whom were pushing prams - as they strolled down the middle of the road.

Local authorities admitted that 'since the traffic was low', it was decided to close the A16 highway in both directions until the crowds could be dispersed.

'Around 4pm, hundreds of migrants, in small groups, attempted to break into the site,' said the Pas-de-Calais prefecture.

The port of Calais has become a key destination for the thousands of migrants and refugees who are trying to enter the UK.

It has led to the evolution of the Calais migrant camp, known as The Jungle, which has become so well established that it is even now home to restaurants, barbershops, churches and mosques.

Its inhabitants have arrived from all over the world, including Syria, Eritrea and Afghanistan, most claiming to have fled violence and war in their home countries.

More than 6,000 people are now believed to have made temporary homes in the make-shift camp, including orphaned children, the elderly and disabled.

It is tough colonizing territory that has already been settled for many generations.

Amazing video. What chaos France created. This is exactly what they want to occur all over the U.S.

No joke.

I’m thinking the Chunnel was not a good idea.

However, the visuals on television and in the minds of the people who were there will only empower Le Pen and the far right. This will have exactly opposite the effect the migrants wanted.

One of the ‘greats’ in historical (hysterical) quips/quotes/cites etc once opined

IF ONE LIES WITH DOGS CHANCES ARE PRETTY GOOD THEY WILL CONTACT FLEAS.

Or, probably more fitting the parable of the scorpion ‘riding’ the horse across a river.

A scorpion and horse were on the river bank and the scorpion asked for a ride to the other side.
The horse said ‘Neigh’ - you will sting me and I will drown.
The scorpion said - Oh my doubtful friend. Surely if I bite you I will also drown.
Made sense to the horse and he said ‘Yeigh’ and off he swam, with passenger.
Midstream the scorpion bit the horse and the final words (from both) as the horse was sinking - WHY? WHY? you promised.
Yes, I did BUT I YAM what I YAM (thanks Popeye) a Scorpion and we bite things.

I think the word, “shocking,” has become the replacement in the media for the words “completely unexpected.”

Depends on what the nitwits in charge are like, if you know what I mean.

Years ago, Mick Jagger starred in a sci-fi movie, FREEJACK. The depictions of the city of the future in that movie are pretty much like what’s described here. So are the elite.

With Emilio Estevez and Rene Russo, right? I thought Russo was a little old for Emilio’s GF but then it did involve time travel to the future, so she had to be older....

... as well as able-bodied, fighting-age men who chose not to stand and defend their families / ideals / countrymen.

Sad.

I just checked. The movie was released in 1997 and had terrible ratings. What do I know? IMHO, it's a classic, both for valid sci-fi and entertainment value.

And, shame on you. Why wouldn't an attractive, current older woman have a younger boyfriend?

The novel, “Camp of the Saints” by French writer Jean Raspail, which depicted the fall of Western Civilization by a third world invasion seems to be more and more prophetic.

By airdropping small pools of refugees into this country throughout the mid west they hope in time to cause the same generated crisis Europe is experiencing now. We are at war

In my area (northern NJ) the neighborhoods infested by the Bronze Horde quickly deteriorate because they have no interest in maintaining the infrastructure built by the European colonists. Everything just crumbles until the area resembles any of Europe’s former African colonies fifty years after the whites left and handed the keys to the blacks.

I see it as the femininization of the English language; the word shocking would never be used by a male in previous times, but today both male and female shout the word, to cover everything unsettling to the senses....
