Riot squads were sent into Calais last
night after UK-bound migrants turned the French port into a ‘war zone’.
Anarchy broke out when 250 men burst
into the town’s docks and tried to board vessels sailing for Dover.
One gang of marauders broke through
gates and climbed over fences in a desperate bid to reach a ferry.
Brushing off pursuing police officers, the migrants stopped only when the ship’s crew turned a fire hose on them and pulled up the car ramps.
The mayor of Calais last night begged
David Cameron to come to Calais to tell the waiting hordes that Britain was ‘no
El Dorado’. Natacha Bouchart said the UK was too soft on migrants.
