I like the juxtaposition between Tank Man, the guy with the shopping bag impeding tanks in Tiananmen Square, back in ‘89, with today’s refugee/migrant with suitcases impeding bulldozers demolishing ther camp in Calais.
But that’s as far it the image goes. Despite some rioting & clashes last night, it’s pretty much going peacefully today.

It’s the French evacuating the camp but in effect Calais is the UK border according to the Le Touquet treaty [for processing purposes etc]
