Keeping Europe white! A huge complex of chimneys and pipes that greets you across the
desolate expanse of industrial wasteland as you come ashore from the Dover-Calais ferry.
The perfect metaphor for a country where the Front National’s Brignoles by-election result
on 13 October shows Marine le Pen’s Front National heading to become France’s third
largest party.i The factory is Europe’s biggest titanium dioxide plant, turning out vast
quantities of whiteness – white pigment to make white paint, tooth whitener, white paper,
white whatever you want. And just to the right of the picture a small group of four black
Africans huddled round a makeshift fire trying to keep warm as the winter nights draw in.
Welcome to the defining reality of citizenship and non-citizenship in the new Europe.

Calais – city of shame

Here, at a northern sally-gate of Fortress Europe, migrants arrive – many hundreds at any
one time – hoping to reach the British Isles, and the possibility of asylum and a new future.
The pressure is particularly acute now, as highlighted by the drowning of three hundred
boat migrants off the island of Lampedusa two weeks ago.ii Since the closure of the
Sangatte “reception centre” in 2002, after a sustained campaign of pressure by British
rightwing newspapers, those migrants have been forced to live rough in the streets of
Calais. If they are lucky, they manage to find sleeping spaces in empty commercial
properties – Calais has the boarded-up shops, workshops and warehouses typical of
atrophying economies at the outer edges of a crisis-hit Europe. With the help of “No
Borders” activists, they squat these buildings in search of warmth and shelter. And
regularly the French police raid these buildings – usually in defiance of proper legal
procedure – and carry off the “sans papiers” migrants to detention centres for deportation,
or for release into a further cycle of daily ID checks, harassment and (as reported by Calais
Migrant Solidarity – CMS) physical beatings. It would do no harm to set up a team of
international monitors in Calais, to bring them to heel.iii

But who is going to do that for hapless migrant who are the embodiment of the “abject
subject” vilified the length and breadth of Europe as spongers, welfare tourists, bogus
asyum seekers, the unwelcome etc. Nobody has decribed their condition better than
Imogen Tyler, whose insightful account in Revolting Subjects describes the case of Abas
Amini, an Iranian political activist who escaped from imprisonment and torture in his
home country and made the Channel crossing to England by strapping himself to the
underside of a lorry. When his asylum application was first granted and then submitted for
appeal by the British Home Office, he took needle and thread and sewed his lips and
eyelids together, resolving to die rather than face further humiliation. While pointing out
the salient humanitarian facts of his case, Tyler also highlights the obvious – that the
creation of these abject subjects is functional to the profitable and rapidly expanding
asylum and immigration industries (“the neoliberal economics of illegality”), and is also
the fuel that feeds the electoral machine of Europe’s rightwing parties. Speaking of Britain
she asks what this country would look like if we mapped it not by its geographical features
but by its places and practices of immigration detention, dispersal and deportation. She
concludes that the picture which emerges is a deeply melancholic map By mapping
Britain’s asylum invasion complex, we see “the ontological obliteration of personhood that
is central to Britain’s neoliberal immigration industry”.iv

In order to inform the world of the daily persecution of migrants in the streets of Calais,
CMS has set up a website which documents the everyday happenings in this massively
securitised port town. A typical entry (22 October 2013) reads:

“The Eritrean squat in rue Neuve has been evicted, 70+ people newly in the street.
Tents, sleeping bags, blankets are very much needed. Most of all we need activists to
go to Calais and support! Following lots of arrivals to Italy via Lampedusa there are
now well over 100 Eritreans present in Calais. They are escaping a brutal dictatorship
and a long war with Ethiopia. There are a record number of women from Eritrea and
Ethiopia in Calais, most are in the safe space opened by No Borders. The ‘jungles’
where Eritreans and Ethiopians wait to go to England are full over the limit.”v

Solidarity with the migrants

CMS and other well-wisher organisations maintain a daily activity of providing food,
shelter and moral and legal support for the migrants of Calais. Despite being stretched to
the limit, during the past few weeks they found the energy to organise a two-day Migrant
Solidarity Festival at the Calais “Maison pour Tous” (“House for All”), a large community
theatre a few hundred yards from the Town Hall on Boulevard Jacquard. I arrived there full
of expectation to see how the Festival was progressing. On the door was a hand-written
note proclaiming that the “Maison pour Tous” would be closed on Saturday. A young man
who was also trying to get into the building explained. The Mayor of Calais, Natacha
Bouchart, has banned the Festival at the last minute because, she says, it is political. Not so,
say the festival organisers. It had been an honest and decent attempt to create an
opportunity for Calaisians and migrants to come together to discuss the realities of this
difficult situation, together with a photographic exhibition and free concerts with a wide
range of invited artists. And the banning of this festival – as well as being an affront to
basic human solidarity – is a yet further example of the restriction of democratic spaces in
France. So much for the “House for All”!

Ms. Bouchart, by the way, was originally called Nathalie Keuroglanian. She is of
Armenian descent, and her family arrived in France after the Turkish genocide of
Armenians in the 1920s. There is little point in discussing the paradoxical irony of her
anti-immigrant stance. The daughter of a rightwing father who, according to miners in the
Lille area, was a member of the Service d’Action Civique, a “parallel police force which
was the perpetrator of murders and criminal operations”.vi Presumably she changed her
name to improve her chances of election this year – in a campaign in which she was
supported by the Front National (don’t call them fascist or they’ll sue…) in order to end 37
years of municipal rule by the communists.On 15 May last, in a vote-catching meeting
between Bouchart and ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy, set up at her request, “on a parlé de la
problématique des squatts, on aimerait un accompagnement des collectivités pour
accélérer les procédures d'expulsion et de destruction. Elles sont trop longues et mettent
des vies en péril.” Frank and forthright. She wants to expel the migrants and destroy their
makeshift housing because, she claims, they are putting the lives of Calaisians in peril. She
has called for Calais to be declared a “priority security zone” to this end.vii

[Later in the day our SOAS Ceilidh Band joined the protest march in solidarity with the
“sans papiers”. Led by the “Rhythms of Resistance” samba band from Lille, we marched
from the Place d’Armes to the Town Hall, where we all stood in a two-minute silence, our
mouths gagged with white bandages and scarves, a symbolic protest against this act of
summary censorship.]

Refugee squats harassed and destroyed by police

At the port is a large area of tarmac left abandoned by the de-industrialisation of the
harbour area. Every day a group of volunteers arrives – at 2.00pm and then again at 6.00pm
– in a minibus, bringing food, fruit, pots, plates and a trestle table, to feed the migrants.
Currently about 200 in number, from many different countries, not least from Eritrea and
the sizeable contingent from Syria, driven into the desperation of refugee flight by the
horrors of war in that country. Around the perimeter are built-up benches where the men
can stand under scanty roofing to eat their daily dole in the cold and rain. The ethnic groups
tend to keep themselves to themselves – in part because of language problems, in part to
avoid the occasional flare-ups between angry young men trapped in desperate
circumstances. After supper the Muslim faithful gather at the wire-fence corner and
perform their prayers on small mats placed on the tarmac. The quiet and decent observance
of spirituality. Recently the Council added barbed wire to the top of this fence, to add to the
gulag effect, but it was removed during the night by No Borders activists.

A few hundred yards to the west of the feeding-lot stands the magnificent Calais
lighthouse. A beacon of hope and security that pulses like the heartbeat of this town. A
thing of mesmerising beauty, especially when the full moon is rising behind it. At the foot
of the lighthouse is a plot of land, the remnants of the railway marshalling yard where once
– in days that I recall with pleasure – the railway trains used to arrive directly at the
harbourside to collect the passengers as they disembarked from the cross-Channel
steamers. Today the tracks are rusted, truncated and useless, but the yard has found a new
purpose – it is here that the Syrian refugees have set up their camp. Huddled close to a
moth-eaten hedge to get some kind of shelter from the wind. Better than the wind-exposed
realities of the “Jungle” – the migrant hiding-places in the sand dunes by the sea, where the
migrants build makeshift tents that are regularly raided and destroyed by the police. Here,
in full public view, the Syrians seem to have gained temporary respite from persecution.
But winter is about to descend on them, and it will be bitter, not least for the young children
who are part of the encampment.

The men with whom we talk include Africans, Egyptians, Eritreans, Albanians, Afghans
and the large contingent of Syrians – 60 or so – who staged a mass protest in the port area a
fortnight ago. During our stay one of the young Syrians, a neatly-dressed gentle young
man, explained how his mother and father had been killed in the war in Syria, and he and
his colleagues – all without papers – are trying to find a way to reach England. He wanted
advice about how he could pursue a request for asylum, because there is nobody in Calais
to give that kind of advice. It was for that reason that they occupied the Port facilities –
demanding to see a representative of the British government.

It has been said that the confiscation of speech is the beginning of exploitation. By the
same token, the acquisition of voice is the first step towards citizenship.
The migrants need voice. They and their supporters need democratic spaces. They need
medical care, integration and education for their children. All this would be normal in a
civilised society, but Calais is not a civilised society. And of course voices need listeners to
hear them.

This was the thought that brought us – to Calais.

Ethnomusicology on the road

“We” are the SOAS Ceilidh Band from London’s School of Oriental and African Studies.
Fiddles, flutes, drums, that kind of thing. We like to travel. Travel with musicians is the
best. Especially travelling in a spirit of solidarity. “Ceilidh beyond Borders!” And
ethnomusicology in action.viii

In mid-October at a Harvest Festival at St Nicholas’ in Chiswick we played a special
hornpipe – “The Rights of Man” – at the tomb of the artist William Hogarth to cheer his
mouldering bones where they lie by the dank muddy shores of the Thames. The following
weekend we followed in Hogarth’s footsteps to Calais in northern France, to that strange
and liminal place where Britishness finds its first definition. To the “Gate of Calais”, as
portrayed satirically by the artist on the occasion of an abruptly terminated visit to France
in 1749.ix In that year, taking advantage of a lull in Anglo-French hostilities, Hogarth
popped over to Calais. He decided to sketch the famous gate, a sketch later published as “O
The Roast Beef of England”. He includes himself in the picture and we see the heavy hand
of the law about to descend onto his shoulder. Hapless artist, he found himself arrested and
incarcerated to face charges as an English spy. True to their perennial vocation, the Calais
police promptly deported him, short shrift.x

So anyway, we thought, following in the footsteps of Hogarth, and in a similar spirit of
inquiry, let us visit this French port town.

The Place d’Armes at twelve noon on a Saturday. Totally deserted. We stood in the middle,
took out our instruments and began to play. An ad hoc scratch band consisting mostly of
new members, most of whom had not played together before. We learned a couple of sets
each of jigs and reels. Watched by eight Albanian migrants perched on a bench, who later
became our friends. Nothing ever happens in Calais, they told us. The town is dead.
Mind-numbing tedium, in short.

Then to the Salam feeding centre by the lighthouse. Empty warehouse yard, exposed to the
elements. Two hundred migrants gathered there, for their twice-daily food dole. Served by
volunteers from solidarity organisations, struggling with limited means to do what the
French state refuses to do. Arriving through the portside streets from where they are
holed-up for shelter in a variety of squats. Once again we take up our position at the centre
of the tarmac, by the lamp standard, and we play our tunes. There are only four of us – the
others missed their ferry and will arrive later. Our tunes are well received. A light drizzle
begins, so our Scottish fiddler has to put away her very expensive violin, and uses mine
instead.

Over by the bins an angry row breaks out. A cross-national thing. Between Eritreans and
Albanians. A formidable young woman volunteer in a red coat steps in to break up the
fight. Two of the young men grab wooden staves broken from a pallet and exit towards the
main gate, intending to settle the score outside. The fight comes to nothing, but on the
opposing pavement the CRS riot police have arrived. A large knot of migrants on one
corner and the police on the other, fortified behind their riot shields. The migrants face
down the police.

It happens that we had brought with us an Iranian frame drum (daff). The multi-ethnic
community watched with curiosity, enjoyment and some puzzlement as we did a polka set
and two of our girls danced on the tarmac. Then one of the Egyptians asked to borrow the
daff and within seconds a loud rhythmic clapping began, and the Arab contingent got into a
huddle to do an amazing call and response number, pulsing fiercely in the greyness of this
portside venue. And all of a sudden there it was, an eruption of pure and simple human joy,
joy in song, joy in being together, joy in a shared cultural identity in this alien and
unwelcoming land. We won’t forget this moment of pure humanity in a long time. And an
elderly French lady, one of the volunteer helpers, came across to thank us for bringing a bit
of “gaité” into this landscape of abjection

The Albanian fort

On the Friday evening, walking at the back of the Fort Risban I caught a whiff of
woodsmoke. Curiosity was tickled.

This fort has a venerable history in the business of abjection and subjection. In 1346,
having defeated the French at the Battle of Crecy, the English King Edward III decided that
the heavily fortified port town of Calais would make a fine staging post for English military
operations in France. He could not take it militarily, so instead he laid siege. To that end he
built a fort overlooking the harbour to prevent ship-borne supplies arriving. After a year the
Calaisians surrendered, and in a famous moment of humiliation Edward ordered that six
leading burghers come out of the town gate wearing nooses around their necks, and
carrying the keys to the city and the castle. This was done, and the men expected to be
executed forthwith. However the king’s wife Philippa was expecting a baby, and asked for
the men to be spared, to avoid ill omens. This event was immortalised by Rodin in his
famous sculpture “The Burghers of Calais”, of which one copy stands in Calais, and
another next to the Houses of Parliament in London. A striking story, which exemplifies
the constant to-and-fro of the possession of Calais, between France and England (in whose
possession it remained until 1558). Such a history makes for very strange liminal identities.

The fort is still there. Modified over the years, with Napoleonic stone-built angularities.
Looking out over the enclosed space of the harbour to the ferryport, with the brightly lit
ships of P&O and DFDS ferries moored in the middle distance.

At night, walking across the swing bridge, I saw a freshly laid bed of cement. Somebody
had scratched a slogan into it “No Borders”. A little thought that will last there for years to
come. At my back two men passed. Speaking a language that was not French. I knew the
sound of it from the stonemason migrants on the Greek island of Hydra. It was Albanian.
The men disappeared into the dark down a track that led to the inner recesses of Edward
III’s fort. Curiosity newly aroused. Woodsmoke and migrants means a camp. And in a
camp there are stories. So I plucked up courage – seriously so, because it was pitch black
and scary – and came around the point.

With a “hey” and a “ho” I approached them and they approached me, and in no time at all
we fell into conversation. Warm, cordial, friendly. They told me of their travels and their
plans. London. Not as some fantasy reality, but as a concrete problem. One of them had
been living in North London, has been deported, and was now trying to return. We talked
of the job market, the building trade, the police, and this and that. Were they waiting to
jump a passage, I asked. They were non-committal. “We’re waiting to see what will
happen.”

As it happened, the following day the detail was filled in by two of our girls (fiddle and
spoons). Arrived by hitchhiking, valiant stuff. With a Turkish truck driver, shipping
between Birmingham and Düsseldorf where his family live. He explained to them aspects
of the migrants’ art of entrism. As is well known to all lorry drivers, there is a sharp corner
in the road at the entry to Calais port. At that corner the migrants wait at night. The lorries
are obliged to slow, to take the corner. A bunch of migrants will rush the lorry from the
rear. They climb onto the top. They slit the canvas with knives and climb inside to hide. In
the hopes of getting transit across the Channel to England. At the embarkation checkpoint
the border police have a rigorous system of migrant-spotting technology. Machines that
detect heartbeats, heat-sensor machines, drug-sniffer dogs, X-ray machines and more
besides. But still the migrants get through.xi

Multiple cross-cutting layers of poetry and paradox, here. These men, snugged in the
dimple recess at the heart of the fort, their makeshift tents pitched below the gun
emplacements, their wood fire licking flames up the wall. These men, watching and
waiting, like the besiegers of the fourteenth century who sat here year-long by their fires
waiting for Calais to capitulate. These men, battering at the securitised borders of Britain.
These men, in their very own fort, sublime, its panorama outreaching to the dark and
uncrossable waters of the North Sea.

“Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which
a mirror and a razor lay crossed. Solemnly he came forward and mounted the round
gunrest. He faced about and blessed gravely thrice the tower, the surrounding country, and
the awaking mountains.” James Joyce, Ulysses.

The next night we returned. We had promised the men a party. To break the tedium of their
seashore existence. We shook hands all round in greeting. We marvelled at the amazement
of this place. We brought instruments. But in the end only one instrumentalist played – our
Iranian santur player. A promise to one of the Afghan migrants who had joined our party.
Willing hands held the santur off the ground while our man played. Over here, all was
intimate and dark. Over there, all was bustle and light, of the ships and lorries and cranes
that are the commerce of Calais. Water, breeze, ancient brickwork, glow of fire, a magic
that we all of us felt. And then a sudden shock. A voice called out excitedly – “Look,
look!”. Across the water, at the midpoint of the harbourline, the full moon was rising,
breaking clear of the horizon. Venus anadyomene. Through flecks of cloud. Straight and
direct, into the sky. And the santur, with its myriad strings and multiple harmonics, played
to musicate the moment. And, as seriously as I have ever said anything serious in my life,
our heads and our hearts – ourselves and the Albanians alike – were bursting with the
wonderment of it all.

And so saying, we exchanged addresses, and on our way.

C’est tout. I have nothing further to add. Except, in conclusion, a couple of practical
matters.

Come to Calais: To see is to know

The call has gone out from the good people of Calais Migrant Solidarity, to all concerned
persons to come to Calais and help support the migrants. Blankets and tents are needed –
they are regularly torn up and trashed by the police. Cameras are needed, to photograph the
excesses of the local police. Willing hands are needed, to cook, bring and serve food at the
feeding-lot. Lawyers are needed, to assert the rights of these displaced persons. All that,
and more besides. It is very easy to get to Calais. The return journey by ferryboat from
Dover costs £8, or even less if you shop carefully. They ask that you take the step, catch the
ferry, make the trip, and come and see for yourself on what sick foundations the Europe of
today is being built.

If you want to travel over, you can write to Calais Migrant Solidarity at
 calais_solidarity@riseup.net

The Radio Calais of my title does not in fact exist. I invented it for the purposes of this
article. However it needs to exist. It is a project for the future, when we shall be returning to
Calais in February 2014. We shall bring audiovisual equipment to record the sounds and
stories of the Calais migrants. In the fulness of time you will find these interviews online at
SOAS Radio.xii

And now, dear reader… If it happens that you have read this far, I thank you for your
forbearance. The account is rather bitty. Gathered from scraps of jottings made in odd
corners on boats and trains. One does what one can… Onwards and upwards...
