    Don't go down to Dunkirk

    Don't go down to Reno Dunkirk

    Moved the problem then?

    Amarillo singer Tony Christie and his wife's terror as hooded migrants armed with crowbars ambush his tour bus at Dunkirk petrol station
    The 73-year-old and his wife Sue, 68, were asleep on the Jumbo Cruiser vehicle
    Gang of five hooded migrants surrounded their driver as he filled bus with petrol
    With driver distracted, migrant broke into a trailer carrying stage equipment
    Christie's tour manager Paul Smith opened trailer and found the stowaway
    Since the demolition of Calais' Jungle migrant camp in October, many displaced migrants have made the short journey along the coast to the Grande-Synthe camp near Dunkirk.

    The camp, a sprawling collection of wooden shacks, was opened earlier this year by medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres.

    Many migrants make their way to the side of the A16, day and night, and try to get on board vehicles bound for Britain by waiting at service stations or rest stops and breaking into the back of trucks.

    There have been numerous incidents of migrants throwing large objects, such as trees, into the path of oncoming vehicles in a bid to hop onto lorries bound for Britain.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

            Can't seem to find it in the Grauniad though.

            Maybe I spelled Dunkirk and Christie wrongright.

            what a bunch of racist rags. Obviously complete hogwash maybe they made it all up or the migrants were really Tory estate agents called Rupert dressed up

                  Brexit will solve all this. Can't happen soon enough.
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                    well closing the jungle seems to have fixed Calais despite it being open for years and the UK complaining.
