historically one of the arguments about having a channel tunnel going back to Napoléon is it makes it easier to invade

Perhaps Mrs May should borrow Mr Johnson's new water cannons (that Westminster had already bought but weren't allowed to play with ) and take them over to France for a week or two. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

For the OP about the ones making it through. I think the idea is they climb on the trains, or smuggle in vehicles rather than walking it.
The dead illegal grabbed a power line on top of a train. It must be pretty hard work to walk through unattended, unless you can get to the refuge tunnel, through one of the escape doors, before a driver sees you. Saying that, once in the refuge tunnel I wonder how the doors at each end are secured? ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

When they built that tunnel I knew that one day this would eventually be the case. They should flood it and go back to ferries.
The channel kept the Krauts out in the 1st and 2nd world war, we were mad to think joining the UK with France
by a tunnel was a good idea, our best defence was that we were an island... The chunnel literally undermines that. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

On a lighter note, I posted this link on the le strikers thread. Some wag holding raves in the Roundhouse tunnel for the HGV drivers, stuck in stack.

Just had some fresh out of uni hand wringer representing 'Migrant aid' on BBC Breakfast. She was telling us
how helpless they are voicing over footage of them giving the French the run around and pulling fences down to get
at the tunnel. I was shouting at the telly so much I never noticed the wife leave for work. Fucking apologist bullshit.
Again, didn't see any families there. Just dodgy looking young men who didn't want to be filmed. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Do you imagine that anyone, ever, has walked up to Immigration with their hands out and said "Hello, I'm an illegal immigrant from Elbonia, please deport me." ?
If you put a welcome mat out for 'fugees, and employ people to categorise everyone as 'fugees, you shouldn't be surprised if the swarming hordes don't make any distinction. And I'm not surprised. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
