CALAIS CHAOS LIVE Ferry Port Tunnel Closed Eurostar Trains Turn Back to London Migrant Warnings from Foreign Office - Breitbart


Britain’s Foreign Office has warned those in cars and trucks waiting to board ferries and trains at Calais that would-be migrants may try to forcibly access vehicles in their attempt to enter Britain, and slow-moving and stationary drivers should keep their vehicles locked.

Hmmmm...yeah....locking your car or truck door will stop determined, violent criminals........since they have no other option....

And make sure they don't harm any violent criminal who may attack them...

French president vows to clear Paris streets of migrant camp
2016-10-29 — French President Francois Hollande vowed Saturday to shut down a bulging migrant camp in Paris, after his government moved 5,000 people from a camp in northern France in an overdue effort to tackle the migrant crisis.
The makeshift camps in Calais on the English Channel and in the French capital have become visible symbols of the country's struggle to accommodate migrants and refugees seeking better lives in Europe. Hollande also urged Britain to do more to help underage migrants in Calais, a port city that has long been a magnet for desperate travelers from the Mideast and Africa seeking to reach British shores. "We cannot tolerate camps," Hollande said, calling the street encampments "not worthy" of France. "We will evacuate the camps in Paris, because it cannot be a long-lasting solution."

He played down concerns that the closure of the Calais camp this week has driven its residents to the sidewalks of Paris, notably near the Stalingrad subway station. Most migrants recently amassing around the station are part of a "new migratory current coming from Libya these last weeks and months," Hollande said. Migrant camps routinely sprout up in Paris, are cleared out, and then sprout up again. Paris regional authorities say 19,000 migrants have been shifted to temporary housing since June 2015.

Hollande insisted that France would shelter asylum-seekers and deport those without the right to asylum. The migrants in Calais and Paris include war refugees, as well as people fleeing poverty and seeking jobs. Hollande said 5,000 migrants were evacuated from the Calais camp this week and transferred to some 450 reception centers around France. He met Saturday with migrants taken to a center in Doue-la-Fontaine in western France. About 1,500 underage migrants remain in Calais in a special shelter, and Hollande urged British authorities to "do their part" to settle them in Britain. He said he spoke Friday to British Prime Minister Theresa May about the issue.

The daughter of a stockbroker nicknamed 'Britain's Schindler' for saving Jewish children from the Nazis also is appealing to the country to do more for today's child refugees. Barbara Winton said in remarks on the website of the organization Help Refugees that the best way to honor her father's memory is "to show the same concern and compassion he did then, for those in danger and in need now." Anti-immigrant sentiment in Britain and France has complicated efforts to address the long-running Calais migrant drama.

Child of 'Britain's Schindler' appeals for help for refugees
Oct 29,`16 -- The daughter of a stockbroker nicknamed 'Britain's Schindler' for saving Jewish children from the Nazis appealed Saturday for the child refugees of today to be treated with similar compassion.
Barbara Winton's late father, Nicholas, rescued more than 650 Czechoslovakian children, most of them Jewish, by putting them on trains to the U.K. and helping them escape Nazi-occupied Europe on the eve of World War II. In a letter posted on the website of the grassroots aid group Help Refugees, Winton drew a parallel between those children and a new generation fleeing war and poverty in Africa and the Middle East. "Even at a time when city evacuations were being planned for British children, homes were found for these vulnerable young refugees," she said of the Czech children resettled during the late 1930s. "Now, 77 years later, vulnerable young refugees again seek the kindness and welcome that British people previously offered."

Britain is under pressure to accept young refugees from the Middle East and Africa after the closure of a large migrant camp in the French city of Calais, known as "the jungle." But there has been resistance to the idea, particularly after the vote to leave the European Union, which was fueled by public unease with growing immigration. "Those who have travelled across Europe to Calais, to escape the life-threatening dangers of their home country, are hoping desperately to find the sanctuary their parents dared to believe Britain would once again offer," Winton wrote. Nicholas Winton was a 29-year-old London stockbroker in December 1938 when a friend asked him to go to Prague to help in the refugee camps. He decided to do more after seeing that the children of those considered enemies of the Nazis, who had annexed part of western Czechoslovakia, were not being cared for.

Czech Republic's President Milos Zeman decorates Nicholas Winton, centre, with the highest Czech Republic's decoration, The Order of the White Lion in Prague, Czech Republic. The daughter of a stockbroker nicknamed ‘Britain’s Schindler’ for saving Jewish children from the Nazis appealed Saturday for the child refugees of today to be treated with similar compassion. Barbara Winton’s late father, Nicholas, rescued more than 650 Czechoslovakian children, most of them Jewish, by putting them on trains to the U.K. and helping them escape Nazi-occupied Europe on the eve of World War II​

When Winton returned home, he set to work by taking letterhead from the British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia, then typing underneath the words "Children's Section." He eventually wrung a promise from the British government to let the children enter the country, provided he had a foster home arranged for each one and upon payment of a guarantee of 50 pounds per child. Winton drew up lists of some 6,000 at-risk children and encouraged British families to take them in. He arranged trains from Prague to the Netherlands, then ferries to take the children across the North Sea.

The children from Prague helped by Winton were among some 10,000 mostly Jewish children who made their way to Britain on what were known as Kindertransports (children's transports) just before and during the first years of the war. Many never saw their parents again. Nicholas Winton's exploits led to comparisons to Oskar Schindler, whose efforts to save Polish Jews were featured in the film "Schindler's List." Winton died last year at age 106. "He continued to act and help others throughout his life and believed that actively assisting those in need was the most rewarding and ethical way to live," Barbara Winton wrote of her father. "Therefore, I believe that the most appropriate way of honoring his memory would be to show the same concern and compassion he did then, for those in danger and in need now."
