British Prime Minister David Cameron is due to chair an emergency
meeting on the situation in Calais, where thousands of people have tried
to stowaway to the UK. Cameron has come under fire for calling them a
"swarm."
The meeting of the UK government's COBRA emergency committee was due to
be held Friday, following another night in which hundreds of people
attempted to reach the Channel Tunnel which links the French port of
Calais - and mainland Europe - with Britain.
Prime Minister David Cameron's office posted on its official Twitter
channel that the meeting would be about how the government would
"tackle" the problem.
Note EU-Digest: It's amazing to see with what incompetence this problem is handled by the EU, France and Britain.
