Trouble began in the early hours of yesterday when 200 migrants were yards from entering the Channel Tunnel on foot after storming down barricades. They ran towards the fences, smashing and tearing down the flimsy barriers as they went. They were only held back by tear gas. But rather than flee completely, many began to build camp fires near the tunnel entrance to keep warm. Others regrouped to form a human barricade, blocking the road to the tunnel.
Migrants were heard chanting: 'Why do you kill us? Why did you kill my sister? We are coming to save our lives. Why do we live inside the Jungle? Where are the rights of immigrants?'
Police admitted that yesterday's attempts to enter Britain were more 'orchestrated' than the previous ones that occurred during the week.
