    It was a French fisherman who fired a marine flare into a UK bound freight shuttle in November 1996 which caused huge damage, had a near crippling financial effect and genuinely endangered lives. His identity was known but he was never prosecuted for the act.

    Since then the UK government has spent millions on increasing security at Coquelles, mainly aimed at preventing asylum seekers from boarding shuttles. However, if you think that will prevent the Nord-Pas-de-Calais mafia from wreaking havoc if they choose to do so, then you clearly don't know how extensive their network is. It's sad but true. I worked amongst these people for 15 years and I've never known the bitterness as entrenched as it is now.

    Unless they regain what they believe to be their fishing rights, then the situation will only get worse. And that's to say nothing of the asylum seeker aspect of things.
