CALAIS - focus on UK Border Agency, call for actions this Wednesday
What is about to happen in Calais is not a matter 'for the French', it's part of a coordinated European approach to curbing migration. The responsibility for the situation facing migrants in Calais rests partly with the UK Border Agency, as well as the wider UK government, whose wars many people in Calais are trying to escape. For example, many Afghans in Calais talk of the UK as "my enemy's enemy", ie against the Taliban. But it's all fucked up. So they come to seek shelter in the UK.[Full Story ]

In the last couple of days numbers of people monitoring and intervening against police attacks on migrants have reduced. If you are thinking of coming, or want to find out more, please contact us now or have a look at the blog to see what you can do in Calais. There are many roles, doesn't have to involve face-to-face with cops! Hanging out with migrants often reaps rewards in building relationships, finding out what is really going on and is appreciated as simple, but effective, help can be provided - sorting out lighting for squats, improving nutrition for a pregnant woman, working in the same internet cafe so police back off, basic medic work...

As Immigration Minister Besson announced last night that he would provide free showers to migrants (four of them for 120-1800 people) as a measure to treat the scabies epidemic (showers do not treat scabies, which he knows being a former doctor) and demanding that the local authority support this work for "as long as it takes" (the same local authority that in July refused to allow humanitarian associations to set up showers), this photo show the reality of the "dignified" treatment of migrants in Calais that Besson has been infamously quoted as saying.

Intervention prevents police attack - Come help turn the tide in Calais
This felt like a real practical prevention of police attempts to hassle, arrest and quite clearly attack migrants in broad daylight in the centre of Calais in front of tourists and Calaisiens. This was made possible by our numbers increasing only slightly today, so come to Calais and continue the work to support migrants here.

What is the point of protest?
To create change. I would have thought that was obvious; it is the only rational response to the question. So why has so little change happened as a result of protest in the Western world in the last 30 years?
