The focal point has been a squat in Coulogne, a suburb of Calais, which has been surrounded by an ugly mob of up to 50 bigots and cops on/off for the past week. The crowd have been throwing rocks towards those inside, which has caused part of the roof to cave in. Earlier in the week, several drunk fascists tried to sledgehammer their way into the building.
This frenzy of bigotry and hatred has been whipped up by a group called 'Sauvons Calais', led by Kevin Reche, the swastika-sporting kid pictured above. 'Sauvons Calais' have been using a Facebook page of the same name to post pictures of activists and migrant squats for targetting. They call on people to share information on the location of empty buildings seen being used as shelter by desperate people trying to escape the cold and stuck at the border; and encourage each other to find out the details of activists. The page is being used to rally people to target squats.
