News: UK/France are building a wall

Work is about to begin on “a big, new wall” in Calais as the latest attempt to prevent refugees and migrants jumping aboard lorries heading for the Channel port, the UK’s immigration minister has confirmed.

Robert Goodwill told MPs on Tuesday that the four-metre high wall was part of a £17m package of joint Anglo-French security measures to tighten precautions at the port.

The £1.9m wall will be built in two sections on either side of the road to protect lorries and other vehicles from migrants who have used rocks, shopping trolleys and even tree trunks to try to stop vehicles before climbing aboard.

It will be made of smooth concrete in an attempt to make it more difficult to scale, with plants and flowers on one side to reduce its visual impact on the local area. It is due to be completed by the end of the year.

Build one in California, I'm not racist I just hate traffic

I hope there's international outrage, protests for open borders, diplomatic insults, and 24/7 new coverage.

A £1.9m wall in some part of Calais is markedly different from a wall across the entire US/Mexico border but ok compare it to Trump

Lucita

A reverse warholian experience.

Good idea, it's dangerous over there tbh.

They're still trying to ask UK to extend border so migrants are on our side of the Channel Tunnel. Au revoir!

It will be a beautiful wall.

Lukey

I think it's for the best, safety wise.

Love how these migrants are already in a safe land, but still trying to get to UK. First world problems I guess

Adonis

Hopefully we aren't stupid enough to build a wall.

waste of money

This isn't even comparable to what the USA has in store if Trump wins but watch the US gworls try it anyway

I'm tired of that we have to paid and help the migrants because UK decide to put the frontier at Calais and now we have to build a wall?
Let the migrant go to UK, it's not our problem.

I really don't understand why theses migrants arn't happy to live in France. Many of them come from French speaking countries. France has higher unemployment but overall its just as wealthy and prosperous as the UK. It must be to do with the asylum seeking process, its easier in the UK? Maybe the UK has more generous benefits?

It's lazy ass migrants who don't want to bother learning french/german/dutch because they already speak english (they all come from former British colonies).

No they don't, you're so out of touch

They all come from Syria/Irak, Ethiopia, Somalia, Lybia, and others impoverished countries from east Africa.

Believe me, migrants from West Sub-Sahara and Maghreb are very happy to stay in France and it's a very old immigration that started in the 50s, just after WW2, it's not a new migration at all and it's very weak at the moment compared to the insanity in Calais.
