Britain and Wildcat Strike

: Others have been injured or killed in accidents, according to Toronto Star. This month thousands of migrants have risked their lives to enter Britain, setting off a blast of heated rhetoric between London and Paris, stoked by fears of invading hordes, after a wildcat strike created chaos in the port and more opportunity for risky attempts to board stalled vehicles bound for British shores. Dozens have frozen or suffocated while stowing away in transport trucks that roll across the channel tunnel on rails. As the refugee crisis swells, some 37,000 have been intercepted since January, and about 3,000 are now encamped near Calais. Most of the new arrivals seek asylum in Germany, Sweden or other northern European countries. The numbers that manage to slip by and enter Britain – estimated in the hundreds — are dwarfed by the 130,000 or more people who have washed up in southern Europe by sea so far this year.
