Migrant violence in Calais is intolerable - EXPRESS COMMENT
The latest news from what sometimes seems like a war zone is gun-related violence and fighting – and all between rival gangs of people traffickers.
How on earth has the situation come to this? If the French authorities do not get a grip an innocent party is going to be killed.
Matters are bad enough as it is for British drivers and hauliers but the authorities have said that the violence has been escalating and has never been seen at this level before.
This is not a recent problem: it has been going on for years and the reason is that authorities in other European countries have been tacitly allowing these men (for they are all men) to make their way to the Channel.
