How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think -
Originally posted by vetran View PostThey tend to go for trucks going into the UK, for some reason they don't want to stay in France or mainland Europe. I can see why you were confused driving a car into Europe.
Originally posted by WTFH View PostA few years ago I was making the journey regularly (when the refugees used to get mentions in the Daily Mail every day). I saw a few migrants at the side of the autoroute near the tunnel - maybe 3 or 4 each journey, but generally the police moved them on.
They were not interested in cars and not interested in anything heading away from the port.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by WTFH View PostI can see you are confused by your hatred of all foreigners, but as has been pointed out on this thread:
Strangely enough, the migrants did not become invisible to car drivers and only visible when lorries went past on the same road as the cars.
As the way of getting onto lorries is different to the ways of getting onto cars it makes sense that yes they can be invisible to cars as they aren't where cars are. But they are visible and still coming - in the last month:

French police clear 500 migrants from Dunkirk camp | Arab News
They seem to have moved to Dunkirk because what we are doing at Calais seems to be working.
Key thing is we are still spending significant amounts trying to keep them out and a number are getting through.
Obviously all these videos & reports are fake news because you can't deal with them.
I don't quite understand how you think disliking law breakers = disliking foreigners.
I am worried do you think all law breakers are foreigners or vice versa in which case you probably need help!Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
