Police surround squalid and germ-ridden Calais camp as they prepare to remove another 800 immigrants waiting to get to Britain

                    

There was little resistance as the armed officers wearing body armour and carrying plastic shields moved in shortly after 8am. 'Our orders are to get rid of the tents and order makeshift structures, and to evacuate those living them,' said a gendarme officer at the scene. He and his colleagues were acting on a prefectural order aimed at bulldozing the camps because of a growing danger to public health. It follows numerous incidents of young men dying and suffering serious injury as they try to get across to the coast of England.
