UK To Build 13 Feet High Wall To Keep Refugees From France Away


UK is going to build a 13ft wall in Calais to block refugees from crossing the channel, the Government has announced. This is aimed at preventing entry to refugees who try to enter the UK illegally by jumping aboard lorries. The wall will be built in two sections on either side of the road to protect lorries and other vehicles from migrants who have used rocks, shopping trolleys and even tree trunks to try to stop vehicles before climbing aboard.



It will be made of smooth concrete in an attempt to make it more difficult to scale, with plants and flowers on one side to reduce its visual impact on the local area. It is due to be completed by the end of the year.

This is the latest effort by the UK government since the Brexit vote, in which the pro-leave campaign capitalised on the rising anti-refugee sentiments in the country.

It also follows the French decision to tear-down the “Jungle” refugee camp in Calais which is home to nearly 10,000 asylum seekers.
