* Cycling accidents could be prevented by requiring HGVs to share their GPS data with city authorities.
The reason the long lines of stationary HGVs are regarded as a celestial gift is not that this week's industrial dispute has increased the chance of success for Omar and his colleagues - most migrants seemed to be being spotted immediately or later removed during security checks.
They want to stop HGVs but the HGVs are increasingly refusing to stop.

He said he feared for schoolchildren, cyclists and horseriders taking to the roads with 32-tonne HGVs "thundering" by.
He added: "I've committed almost £1 billion to doing just that, with major improvements being made to junctions and superhighways across London and plans to ensure HGVs not fitted with safety equipment will face charges.

ClientEarth also argued in court that an effective plan would require other measures including a scrappage scheme for older diesel vehicles, retrofits of HGVs and more funding for public transport and cycling and walking schemes.
At the hustings he was at his most convincing when railing against HGVs and poisonous fumes.
The ULEZ is a targetted intensification of the often-forgotten low emission zone (LEZ), which has spanned most of Greater London since Ken Livingstone introduced it to regulate dirty HGVs in February 2008, three months before Johnson removed him from City Hall.
