After months of publicity regarding the alleged serious economic effects of the "immigrant invasion" through the Channel Tunnel as Eurotunnel drastically reduced its number of trains, it comes as a complete surprise that suddenly the company would break even this year.
Furthermore, it is even more surprising that "asylum seekers were no longer affecting the business".
I don't know who is responsible for this sudden change of circumstances, especially as Sangatte has yet to be closed, but let us hope this is one tanker which has been turned around and our handling of asylum-seekers can now be expeditious and humane.
