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.

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!
