From the Daily Mail: "Ceuta overrun: Thousands of migrants charge through streets of Spanish enclave as police attempt to move them to official tent camp." From the article:
Spanish police today began relocating the migrants, who have been living for weeks on the beach in Ceuta, to its port area.
In the move officers struggled to contain the crowds jostling to secure a spot at the new tented site. Authorities say there are enough tents for 1,700 people.
Video footage shows people charging through the streets towards the new camp, cheering and shouting.
According to local reports, the National Police and Riot Control Unit were forced to intervene, reportedly using tear gas to stop the chaos.
It comes after tens of thousands of migrants flooded across the border from Morocco in late July.
Although most returned, around 13,000 have remained, with many now sleeping rough on the territory's beaches.
The 13,000 figure is, itself, interesting. You might remember that in early August, authorities and the major media outlets were telling us that only between 3,000 and 5,000 remained. Then it crept up to between 5,000 and 7,000. And now it is 13,000. It tells me that the authorities and news media have been lying all along.
Dirty Sanchez is in on it.
