Dunkirk Migrants

[kaiser78]

So I am taking family Ksr78 family on a little road trip to Europe in May and have booked a ferry to come back via Dunkirk to avoid the migrant camp in Calais. I have been reading that the migrant camp has been moved to Dunkirk now, so does any know how near it is to the ferry port ?

Not sure I'd risk driving over there in my car.

It's right in the middle of the ferry port. Gendarmes are on duty, with weapons drawn, and will force you to drive at no more than 5kph (approx. 3mph) between serried ranks of migrants, who have been issued with axes. Locking your vehicle doors is forbidden.

HTH.

A couple of minutes on Google reveals that the new Dunkirk camp, established by Medicins Sans Frontieres, is in the Grande Synthe area: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.0078317,2.3042716,14z

Although it's a new camp, it's only replacing an existing one - in other words, it isn't necessarily the case that those in Calais have moved, though some might have, I suppose; there's been a camp in Dunkirk for ages.

Sounds like the Monkey enclosure at Longleat. Bare bottoms against your window while another pulls off your windscreen wipers and eats your washers.

That's why I'd never vote UKIP. An eleven year old Renault for Chrissakes.
You become what you vote, vote UKIP and everyone will become a poor Renault driving simpleton with no GCSEs.

You've never had your wiper pulled off hard or had a rubber bitten into?

Absolute idiotic response as expected.


Renaults would be banned you fookwit.

Don't know what the fuss is about. In 1940, we got 330,000 out of Dunkirk in a few days! Then again, the Germans were behind that migration policy too
