Protest Against Destruction of Calais Jungles

No Borders Brighton | 16.07.2009 11:36 | Migration | Repression | Social Struggles | South Coast

France's Interior Minister Eric Besson made it clear in January that he wanted to see all migrants removed from Calais and the surrounding area by the end of this summer. And the project has already started with the bulldozing of camps at Loon-Plage and Teteghem and the destruction of squats in Calais. Now comes the main act in this summer festival of destruction.

The French Government are planning the destruction of the main Pashtun Jungle in the Dunes of Calais on 21st July, prior to a mass deportation flight to Afghanistan. Campaigners are calling for solidarity actions on both sides of the Channel.

Protest outside the French Tourist Office on Tuesday 21st July 12:30 - 2:00 pm.

That after the job is finished in France we move on to clearing out the countless illegals from Britain that are rapidly creating our own stinking cesspit of a jungle. Perhaps a job for the army when brought back from the illegal war in Afghanistan?

If by this you mean get rid of everyone who doesn't want the borders to be flung open I think you'll find that the UK and France would be cleared of the vast majority of their populations!
