Title: Chunnel Closed
Post by: LongBlade on October 03, 2015, 03:51:05 PM
Albeit temporarily.

QuoteEurotunnel services were suspended on Saturday after more than 200 migrants broke into its French terminal in a "massive and organised" assault.

Passenger and freight services through the tunnel were halted for several hours while French police struggled to contain the invasion and remove the migrants.

All Eurotunnel services have been suspended for safety reasons after more than 100 migrants stormed the tracks overnight (EPA)

Two police officers and four migrants suffered minor injuries during scuffles, local authorities of the Pas-de-Calais region said.

Around 100 of the migrants managed to walk as far as 15 kilometres into the Channel Tunnel during the mass break-in before police intervened to stop them getting any further.

happens once a week and then one of them gets electrocuted and its the governments fault for not switching the electric off to let them in

mobs wth knives and sticks running up the tunnel sounds like an invasion of our country to me

25 million pound to strengthen the fence, security, beef up restrictions

OR

25000, a machine gun, bob and me and a bag of pork scratchings - problem fixed

I'm not clear on why they aren't shot. It seems like a major security breach. Would the French tolerate hundreds of people storming the runways at Charles de Gaulle?

Not a bad idea!

Let's take one of those tunnels they're using to sneak into California and Arizona and gradually (so no one will notice) curve them to the right. Then we extend them all the way to Wales.

Problem solved!

i join in for free for travel expenses and a hot meal at some burger take out  !

i even go to the extend and say: Breivik (the Norwegian bomber) got the Europian future portrait right in his manifesto, even so his method to fight it (leaching out at future goody two shows to may become politicians) were a little take to the extreme.  We have to fight it at the voting booth

The problem is you are losing the war of words.  They are "migrants" and not "refugees", which means a permanent stay as opposed to a temporary stay followed by repatriation to their home country.

there was a hilarious interview with a Liberal MP this morning, he spent ages reassuring the public that they would not be here forever, they wanted to go to their home and rebuild it, they would not be here for long. Noone wants to abandon their home and live in a foreign land, dont panic they want to go back

over to Shimbali in the studio

Shimbali, as the MP said, do you eventually want to go home and repair the damage, go back to your city and live back there................







'No, i am never going back'

I rather like turkey bacon; but okay, what about beef bacon?

I mean, that's literally the whole point to kosher franks.

If there can be kosher hot dogs (and those are even generally the highest quality), there can be kosher bacon.

Frankly, I want to try some of this! http://www.kolfoods.com/smoked-fry-beef-bacon.asp

Come to think of it, beef jerky kind of counts as 'original' bacon; and I'd eat that every day if I could.

chancelor Merkel of the lost cause called Germany now believes they will recieve upwards of 1.5 mill refugees this year. And calls for all European countries to stand should to shoulder with her, because she just realised the concequenses of her open door policy.
Well not really, but she can read the polls that say, that for every day more and more germans gives her the finger.
