How has that become 2000 migrants storm the tunnel? no mention of striking workers being the cause of disruption anymore and the 2000 attempted breaches is now being reported as 2000 migrants.
Excellent point,a point that really also helps demonstrate the unhealthy and prejudiced view of the media in the UK,as to migrants.

Even more sad and worrying is that people actually take on board the hysterical and prejudiced media line on this issue.
