Stack is back on again … After the Tunnel was closed last night due to Immigrants / Economic Migrants …call them what you will kicking off and causing havoc.
Drivers getting serious crap now…How much longer can this go on ■■
It will continue indefinitely as there is no one in power who is willing to confront the dual problems of the immigrants and the French and their taste for causing maximum chaos, what will change it though is the large hauliers using different routes, as of next week the backloads that we bring out of France are now going to go through Le Harve as the French company who we do it for has said it will no longer use Calais. Once the numbers using Dover - Calais drop significantly only then will politicians address the problem (hopefully)
Saw this on the news. Those scumbags tried to invade the tunnel so Eurostar stopped running. Its now starting to affect those companies now as its begining to bite them in the pocket.

Channel Tunnel services have been disrupted after about 150 migrants tried to storm the Calais terminal.
Migrants entered restricted areas on the French side overnight, delaying and cancelling services, Eurotunnel said.
A spokesman for the firm called for “immediate action” from authorities to protect the tunnel and provide a solution to the migrant crisis.
Passenger services are back to normal but there are still delays to freight journeys, Eurotunnel said.
Freight lorries are queuing on the M20 for the second time this week.
Kent Police initiated phase two of Operation Stack - where freight traffic is queued on sections of the M20 - and closed roads at about 01:00 BST.
‘Immediate action’
A spokesman for Eurotunnel said there had been “huge numbers of migrants” in and around the area on Friday night.
What you see, to be blunt, is marauding mobs…
Dan Cook, Logistics company Europa Worldwide
They said: "Up to 150 migrants stormed the tunnel, which caused disruption to services leading to delays and cancellations for customers.
“Eurotunnel wants immediate action from authorities to protect the tunnel - not enough is being done to stop the migrants.”
Dan Cook, operations director at Europa Worldwide, a transport and logistics business, said “marauding mobs” of migrants were breaking into the company’s vehicles.
Mr Cook said: "This isn’t in lay-bys off the beaten track at night, this is in broad daylight on the motorways approaching Calais and what you see, to be blunt, is marauding mobs around trailers… climbing on board, breaking open backdoors with broadly no sign of any sort of policing to prevent it.
Lorries were also stacked on the M20 in Kent earlier this week following a strike
“If we were watching television in the UK and we were seeing mass groups of people wandering around the motorway climbing on vehicles I think we would be pretty outraged and we would expect the British authorities to do something about it.”
‘French obligation’
He added that he believed French authorities had an “obligation” to protect people who use the country’s roads.
Earlier this week lorry drivers in England faced days of misery as they were held in miles of queues until Operation Stack was lifted on Friday evening.
More than 3,000 lorries were parked on the M20 after the closure of the Port of Calais earlier this week crippled Channel sailings.
The chaos was sparked after MyFerryLink workers started a wildcat strike on Monday in protest at expected job cuts in the French port city.
The Port of Dover said no ferry traffic was being held in Operation Stack and there were full services to the Port of Calais and Dunkirk.

No driver should be made to go and sit in this…Its bordering on inhuman.Almost as bad as delivering to RDC’s ■■ Now that is inhuman
Maybe the highways Gestapo will take the opportunity on checking for unpaid Dartford tolls, UK vignettes and drivers hours
I thought the inhumans at the RDCs were now delivering to marooned drivers beating a path to the docks on the M20…
An appropriate punishment for being caught as an illegal immigrant (which nearly all of the Calais “Crowd” are…)
…Incarceration with hard labour.
You get released when you tell the authorities which country you’d like to be deported to.
The cost of deporting people “in bulk” as it were, would be a lot less than even the £2000 per head a driver gets fined for having the misfortune of having a criminal break into their truck.
Sooner or later, a driver who is facing suicide because his entire livlihood, cash, & freedom is threatened by stupid laws that make drivers the villains - is going to respond to this direct threat to their life - by deliberately killing one or more of these people.
I would argue that if we can get out of the EU by this point - we can prevent the chain reaction of personal tragedies that would result from this.
The whole thing is the EU’s fault from the very beginning. It is THEY who tell both France and the UK that you have to allow these criminals “free passage” across Europe - whilst providing NO funding and NO policing to stop the consequences of such daft and short-sighted laws & policies.

Make no mistake our open door immigration policy is as bad as anything which ‘Europe’ has so far tried to impose.
Certainly to the point where the ‘Repatriation’ word,or calls for a definition of citizenship based on jus sanguinis,as opposed to jus soli,won’t bring the cries of ■■■■ racist etc etc there,that they will here.Which probably explains why the immigrants are so keen on getting here instead of France etc.
Also bearing in mind that Europe isn’t ‘yet’ a federation which no one can leave or defy.Which just leaves the question of FN v Socialist etc alliance at the next French elections.Assuming the former win out then you’ll see just how pro immigration that our government actually is in joining the condemnation of France’s new government when it closes the doors and starts sending people home where they belong. 
They want to come here - because this is the only country where you can get a pretend job and scoop more in tax credits than you’d get on unemployment benefits.
Crackdowns on benefits only seems to be against those who come over here, and attempt to sign on. You don’t need to sign on! - You can get any old job for £180 a week and at least double that when the takehome (no tax or NI) is topped up to the point of doubling it with the tax credits. Even more if they’ve got wife and kids in tow…
Everyone arriving here and making contact with the countryman community already here - is a winner to be paid off in our over-generous economy.
If we stated that new arrivals were entitled to no benefits whatsoever, and would be incarcerated for vagrancy if found wandering around without purpose (no job, begging etc.)
…we would put off a very large percentage of the types that are happy to risk drowning in the med to get a takehome wage which is an absolute fortune to them south of the med, pretty decent pay for those in eastern europe, and totally useless for those from Northern Europe.
How many Germans, Dutch, & Danes (for example) have you got working at your depot?
It should never be considered as “Fascist” to be against being robbed by a johnny-come-lately who might well be white, might well be educated, and who might well be quite wealthy by the standards of the country they come from. Once any backing wealth is spent however - their only continuned hope over here economically - is to scrounge benefits, business grants, and any other money that continues to be handed over for doing pretty much nothing bar get here in the first place. No wonder they take such risks!
If you condemn a democratically elected FN government - you are condemning democracy itself.
If anyone condems the Greeks saying NO - They also condem the very nation that invented democracy itself.
Isn’t the core of fascism - that you impose your unpopular will as a government upon the people who now find cannot elect said government out of office?
It only takes a “state of emergency” to turn any of our own so-called “stable, rule-of-law” governments into a full-blown fascist dictatorship. Fascists because they’ll NOT act for the “common good” but merely to seek power for it’s own sake and “dictatorship” because they cannot be removed by public re-call, or even at a fair and free election - becuase there is no effective opposition in this country for the forseeable future.

The common link being Socialism in all its forms.In this case allied to the worst form of exploitative ‘Capitalism’.
As for the Greeks they’re in a simple runaway trade deficit situation, caused by a service industry based economy,and mistakenly think that a Socialist solution is the answer to that not a Nationalist one. 
As I said France is going to be the place to watch and hopefully will do what UKIP failed to do.
