bbc - Calais van driver dead in migrant roadblock crash

bbc article

"A driver was killed when a van crashed into lorries that had been forced to stop on a motorway near Calais by a makeshift barrier set up by migrants.

The van, registered in Poland, burst into flames. The driver's identity is not yet known.

Nine Eritreans were found in one of the lorries and taken into police custody.

In 2016, the so-called Jungle migrant camp at Calais was closed, but hundreds of people have returned to the area in the hope of reaching the UK.

Roadblocks, often built from tyres or rocks, were regularly placed on the A16 motorway leading to the port of Calais before the camp was dismantled in October. Migrants aimed to slow lorries down as they approached the port in the hope of climbing on board."

CAB OPINION

Strangely factual from the BBC. Normally we have a sense of their moral stance on any particular news issue. This article contained none - you would have expected just a little condemnation of the maniacs who are setting up road blocks with tree trunks. This however, at the end of the article, is all the BBC are prepared to say: "Several hundred migrants are living in the Calais area in poor conditions. Some 7,000 had lived at the Jungle camp before it was dismantled."
