Looks like there is trouble at Caen/Ouistreham again. Had some very disturbing video from a pal who does transcontinental work. I thought that the Gendarmes had got on top of the problems - obviously not :(

So where is the video and what is it about.

I surmize you are refering to migrants but there is no evidence of that. The scene may have looked alarming at the time to one driver.

I came back from there in July and stayed at Riva Bella overnight for the early morning ferry back to the uk. There were about two dozen migrants in the wood at the roundabout playing football. We walked past them to go to town and they didn't even cast a sideways glance and the same coming back although there were a lot less. The others seemed to be in town waiting for the chance to jump onto a lorry and that was a bit scary, not to the public, but maybe for their well being. If they fell the following lorry would have probably killed them.

The next day we had no problem going to the docks at 7am. There was a police presence on the roundabout and at two places in town. When on the docks caravans were being searched.

That is what we saw and I hope it gives a scene of why caravanners should not fear for their safety.

One video shows between 10 and 20 people trying to get into the back of a moving Lorry, as do the other 4 videos - don't know how to link the video as it was sent to me on Faceache
