“What happened to the plan that the Jungle was to be bulldozed last week by the French government? Where did this bunch of pirates spring from?”
Alas, retro, like many things you read in the news, that was really smoke and mirrors..
The plan was to bulldoze around one third of the encampment and transfer the occupants to shipping containers, suitably fitted out with beds, running water, kitchens, secure entry systems (and of course mobile phone charging facilities), Around 1,600 people were due to be transferred. I believe the scheme has now been completed (but not before the occupants set fire to two bulldozers, completely destroying them). Their reluctance to leave was said to be because the authorities wanted too much information from tem (including their fingerprints for the entry system) and they believed they would then be forced to apply for asylum in France (which of course demonstrates perfectly that they are not refugees but economic migrants trying to get to their destination of choice).
So they are all still there. It’s just that some of them have been relocated to more comfortable accommodation just up the road.
BTW, I won't get too involved, but I think there is a considerable difference between making a suggestion (which may not be to everybody's taste) and inciting or encouraging somebody to commit a particulat act.
