The Gallic migrator camp near Calais , also known as The Jungle , is presently being torn down with the help of “ several hundred ” orgy law , according to the Wall Street Journal . And sadly it look like a scene from John Carpenter ’s 1988 horror - dystopia film They survive .
“ We have start hit empty shelters in the southerly part of the camp , ” a spokesperson for the French constabulary secernate theWall Street Journaltoday . “ That work will continue every twenty-four hour period over the next few calendar week . ”
We often practice dystopian medium to talk about the world we subsist in . And the migrant crisis in Europe and around the man looks increasingly like the dystopian phantasy of They Live andChildren of Men .
In They Live , a improvised dispossessed encampment in Los Angeles is destroyed by police with dozer and riot police .
From the Wall Street Journal :
French authorities said last calendar week that they contrive to relocate 800 - 1,000 migrants live in the southern part of the Jungle , after a judge dismissed a last - ditch postulation by humanitarian groups to detain the evacuation . French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve pledged to extend all migrants raw housing , adding the government never designate to “ bulldoze ” the encampment and “ viciously evict ” its indweller .
The government may never have intended to “ bulldoze ” the bivouac . But that ’s exactly what they ’re doing today .
The French politics claims that there ’s more than enough irregular housing in the area , where an unspecified number of merchant vessels containers have been made into makeshift abode . But humanitarian groups in France say there simply are n’t enough .
humanistic groups , however , say that more than 3,000 migrants will be bear on by the disassembly , and the available lodging in the area wo n’t be enough to fit all of them .
Those who ca n’t get housing in local protection will be transferred to facility in other parts of France , authorities say .
Police have also been using firehoses to disperse the migrant , a tactic that goes above and beyond any fictitious dystopia we see in They Live .
The migrants have go for planetary house saying “ We Are Not terrorist , so do n’t destroy our homes . ” The signs , of course , have not stopped the riot police .
Upheaval and aggregative frustration in the world is nothing new . But it ’s disheartening when the darkest visions of film producer ca n’t compete with world .
This ai n’t no Jetsons shit .
