Huge mob of 300 migrants storm port in Calais in violent bid to smuggle their way into UK

CALAIS was shut down yesterday after a gang of 300 stone-throwing migrants stormed the port and tried to board ferries bound for Britain.

Riot police fired tear gas to keep the mob at bay and approach roads to the port were turned into a battleground.

The alarming scenes refocused attention on Britain’s inability to properly police its borders as the EU referendum campaign intensified yesterday.

It emerged that:

The UK is spending £645million to help Turkey join the EU — which would allow an estimated one million of its citizens to come to Britain.
Russian and Ukrainian migrants buy fake Romanian passports to slip into the EU.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn backs German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s plan to welcome a million migrants.
David Cameron claims his 2015 Election victory coupled with a Remain win on Thursday would give him a mandate to demand new EU reforms.
The owners of 100 small businesses are urging voters to back Brexit.

Witnesses told on Monday how gangs of migrants blocked traffic outside Calais so that they could break into lorries heading to cross-Channel ferries.

A British football fan caught up in the chaos said a mob chanting “f*** the UK” hurled rocks at his car.

Others used social media to tell of the chaos as the French authorities sealed off the port.

One tweeted: “UK Border control Calais-side has stopped, we are all sat here waiting for cars to start flowing through. No toilets or water.”

Braden Connolly said: “Cars are being stoned by the migrant camps in Calais.”

French police said gangs of migrants from the nearby Jungle camp had attacked the Calais ring road in waves.

Police erected barriers and fired tear gas grenades.

Several officers were injured.

Calais police said: “A group of around 300 migrants are involved in the disturbances.

“They are placing objects in the road and trying to get on trucks.”

It is thought the gangsters who run the migrant smuggling operation in Calais timed the mass attempt to reach Britain to coincide with Euro 2016 traffic and the Le Mans 24-hour rally.

Two militants from the No Borders anarchist group were arrested.

The trouble came days after migrants dived into the sea and tried to swim towards ferries that were leaving Calais bound for Dover.

Refugees at record levels

THE number of global refugees has hit a new high at 65.3million, with a rise of almost ­6million during 2015, the United Nations revealed yesterday.

It said the figures mean one out of every 113 people on the planet is now either a refugee or has been forced to leave their homes within their own country.

Calais mayor wants French migrant camps moved to UK after Brexit vote



The mayor of Calais is calling for a revision of the border deal between France and the UK, saying migrant camps located on the French side of the English Channel should be moved to Britain, which must feel full consequences of its decision to leave the EU.

“The British must take the consequences of their choice,” mayor of Calais Natacha Bouchart said on Friday.

“We are in a strong position to push, to press this request for a review and we are asking the president [Francois Hollande] to bring his weight [to the issue],” she told French broadcaster BFM TV. “It is we who accept the hot potato.”

According to the mayor, the UK decision to leave the EU undermines the so-called Touquet deal reached between the two countries in 2003 which defined the rules of border control between France and Britain. The agreement stipulated that France would carry out border checks in Calais to intercept those seeking to make illegal crossings to the UK.

Bouchart stressed that the deal required negotiation due to Brexit referendum results, saying “there must be an element of division, of sharing.”

The suspension of the agreement would affect the biggest French refugee camp known as the ‘Jungle’ which houses over 3,500 people.

Xavier Bertrand, the center-right president of the Hauts-de-France region expressed the same stance.

“The English wanted to take back their freedom, they must take back their border,” he said. Earlier this year he referred to the Touquet treaty as “obsolete and outdated,” according to French media.

Prior to the referendum French government minister also warned of the “consequences” of Brexit.

“The day this relationship unravels, migrants will no longer be in Calais,” Finance Minister Emmanuel Macron said in February.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, however, doubted the agreement between the two countries would collapse.

“Calling for the border with the English to be opened is not a responsible solution,” Cazeneuve announced earlier this year. “It would send a signal to people smugglers and would lead migrants to flow to Calais in far greater numbers. A humanitarian disaster would ensue.”

Meanwhile French government spokesman Stephane Le Foll announced that Brexit vote would in no way affect bilateral immigration agreements.

“On the question of immigration, to be clear, British exit from the European Union will not lead to changes in terms of immigration treaties with United Kingdom... These are bilateral treaties,” he said.
