Bulldozing under the carpet: The rumble in the Calais Jungle

In yet another fantastic example of policy more short sighted than Stevie Wonder, pseudo-socialist Francois Hollande has announced today that the Jungle in Calais will be fully dismantled by the end of the year.

In addition, the UK is taking a leaf out of the much respected, and not at all crazy, Trump playbook, and building a wall. And who’s going to pay for the wall? That’ll be the UK – apparently May’s suggestion to have a whip round around Syria, Eritrea and Sudan was dismissed as ‘unworkable’.


The wall is due to be finished by Christmas, which means it will out rank the seasonal satsuma in my stocking as the most unwanted festive gift I’ll ever receive.
