Construction of a UK-funded wall near Calais' so-called Jungle migrant camp will begin soon, the Home Office says.
Dubbed the "Great Wall of Calais" by some media, the 4m (13ft) wall will run for 1km (0.6 miles) along both sides of the main road to Calais port.
Road hauliers called the wall a "poor use" of public money.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd told MPs that while the UK provided money to help secure Calais, it was up to the French to decide which measures to use.
Work is expected to start this month, with the wall due to be finished by the end of the year.
Numerous fences have been built to protect the port, the Eurotunnel terminal and train tracks on the other side of Calais, and the BBC understands the wall will not replace any of those.

Fuck funding a wall
Chain link fence and the army would do it. A few dead invaders and the rest wouldnt even try.

The mayor of calais has recently said the camp must be cleared completely, they are not fans of them.

I live just near user. I said the country, not the town. See, Frenchfags have a major problem: if the problem isn't right under their eyes, they won't act. When it is, it's too late (unless some Napoleon emerges or something in the like).

And people called China the copycats.
Seems like they're ahead of their time now.

It is. As long as the refugees remain in the jungle, there will continue to be problems.
