"The construction of a 1-kilometer concrete barrier passing by the infamous 'Jungle' refugee camp in Calais, northern France, began Tuesday. Dubbed the 'Great Wall of Calais' by the media, it aims to stop asylum seekers from entering the UK.

ReplyDeleteOn her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
"Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taking in had been revived
Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
"I saved you," cried that woman
"And you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.

There has been an English financed fence near the road way where the agitators attempt to board and commandeer the trucks. High enough but that does stop them. Is not long enough, high enough, not patrolled by armed guards ready to use force.
