I have just watched BBC News today on it there was a piece showing the desperate situation of migrants trying to enter the UK from Europe,this is not new BuT it appears that the french attitude is changing and at last france realises that SHE has to take SOME action to deal with the problem of MANY MANY migrants wanting to come to the UK for a better life than exists in their own countries and have now reinforced measures to actually take some action on what has now become a french problem I will update this topic as soon as the full report is put on line by the BBC.
SNIPPET:
"That hasn't stopped migrants from risking their lives on an almost daily basis to try to come to the UK.
In fact in recent months the attempts some migrants have been making to cross the Channel have become increasingly audacious and brazen.
In March this year BBC South East caught on camera images of men running towards trucks at the French port of Calais and climbing on to the vehicles before sitting on the axles.
They showed British trucks being targeted just metres from the Calais port entrance.
Now - in the biggest incident of its kind - a ferry bound for Britain has been stormed by up to 250 illegal immigrants who were trying to force their way on board the vessel at the Calais."

Getting more serious french Riot Police involved.
OK,OK,so it is a russian link, we are dealing with politics here I know,how accurate the information is I have no idea,decide for yourself.
SNIPPET:
Dr Franck Düvell, a Senior Researcher and Associate Professor of the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) at the University of Oxford, told VoR:
“Normally migrants who make it across the channel will be apprehended at a service station. They will then apply for asylum and they usually come from countries in turmoil.”
While Britain has lots of irregular migrants, most do arrive legally and overstay their visas, or else use stolen or fake passports.
But sharp jumps in the number of asylum applications from Syrians, Eritreans and Sudanese nationals suggest that at least a few are entering by more unusual routes.
Under European rules, refugees must apply for asylum in the first safe country they reach.
This explains why the young migrants camping at the edge of Calais live in penury and do their utmost to avoid any interaction with the French state. If they are fingerprinted, it can count as evidence that they have been in a country other than Britain.
Dr Franck Duvel said: “What the Mayor Natasha Bouchart is proposing would not change anything, people would still move to Calais.”
Meanwhile, haulage companies have advised their drivers to use other ports, like Cherbourg, Boulogne and Dunkirk. That’s because of the constant threat of migrants leaping onto their vehicles, many of them armed with knives and iron bars.
Truckers say the migrants are increasingly desperate and aggressive.
At the weekend, three Sudanese migrants suffered severe knife wounds during a vicious fight in the centre of Calais. The battle was over who had the right to a favourite spot for springing onto passing lorries.
