Neither are the vast majority of Brit expats breaking the law, flouting the rules, forcing their way into trucks, trains, tunnels etc. etc etc.

What I would do may well be exactly the same but I certainly would not expect the host communities I was forcing myself upon to smile and just suck it up ad infinitum. How many times would you let a desperate homeless person in the UK accost you for money without changing your route or calling the police? What would you do if that homeless person threatened to throw themselves under a bus if you refused to help them or the one you helped yesterday brought his mates along for help the next day and the day after? We can have as much sympathy for these people as we like but we cannot help them all and the more we try to help the more there will be. It's not pleasant but it's a fact and you would no more share or turn over your home to desperate migrants than I would so how far does your sympathy go and how are you going to prevent it from being abused if you just open the doors to everyone who might want to come in?

In spite of all the sympathy some folks like to profess they have when referring to countless thousands of migrants being allowed into the EU, if even something as trivial (relatively) as their journey to work was delayed every day (as has been the case with the tunnel lately) it wouldn't take too long for all that sympathy to turn to anger.
