I read somewhere of a woman in danger of being raped in her
own home in Cleveland or some place in the US phoning the police. She was told
“the police no longer work weekends due to the cuts.” One nil for rapists. When
pondering Calais I’ve often wondered, a) how immigrants get the 5,000 euros for
the journey and, b) why England? If they get here they’ll be lucky to get
subsistence wages and even luckier to get government help. That’s hardly a case
for economic migration. I suspect like the woman in Cleveland they want safety.
Even the ‘Jungle’ camp in Calais is a safe place compared to where they’ve
left. They are not economic migrants nor political asylum seekers, they’re
safety seekers and England with its population of law abiding disorganised
mongrels seems a good bet. So Calais is a symptom of inadequate policing. Not
police state policing but the policing of fairness, safety and well-being. It’s
also testament to humanity’s desire for these above all else even to the point
of dying under a train. In the face of them the ideologies of greed, power and
religious supremacy have little credence, accept to those indebted to them. So
here’s a solution. A million airdropped leaflets over Sudan, Afghanistan, Syria,
etc.
“A MESSAGE FROM EUROPE- For centuries we have fought
and are still fighting many battles against religious, political and economic
tyrants. Slowly and through many rebellions and deaths we have curbed their
power to provide fairness, safety and well-being for everyone. This is your
desire for your own country and within your gift. Achieve what we have achieved
and there will be no need to come here and endure the perilous journey. Good
luck, we’re on your side. It’s possible.”
