Top Tory Robert Jenrick has revealed that the French police could not be bothered to turn up after he personally reported dozens of migrants in Dunkirk on the verge of crossing to Britain. Mr Jenrick was pelted with glass bottles and spoke to migrants from safe countries like Saudi Arabia who want to come to Britain because they believe they won’t be deported.
Following his hair-raising trip, the Shadow Justice Secretary concluded: “Britain’s being scammed.” While leaving a migrant camp in northern France at 8:30 pm, Mr Jenrick filmed up to 70 migrants on the way to the beaches holding life jackets. He followed them in a car to a bus stop, pointing out the French police's total lack of presence, then onto Dunkirk, where the migrants hid in an alleyway right next to the beach.

For hours, Mr Jenrick observed “zero, zilch” police presence, despite Britain funding its nearest neighbour to the tune of ￡800 million to prevent crossings by illegal migrants.
As dawn broke, the migrants had vanished, and Mr Jenrick called the French police.
Filmed speaking to an operator, the top Tory informed them: “I’m in Dunkirk and I saw a large group of maybe 40 or 50 illegal migrants in the cemetery off the main road by the beech.”

The police operator was heard responding: “He does not think that they are going to come, but he’s going to give the information to the police. Then the police will decide.”
Mr Jenrick told the camera: “We’ve literally gone to a camp, found a group of migrants holding life jackets, watched them get onto a public bus in plain sight of everyone. Then we watched them walk through Dunkirk.”
“We’ve given ￡800m to France, and we didn’t see a police officer the whole day, and now we’ve just phoned them and it doesn’t sound like they’re going to bother to come out.”

In suspicious scenes, Mr Jenrick then caught council workers cleaning up the rubbish left behind by the migrants in the early hours, despite the police not being able to attend the scene.
Like his shadow cabinet colleague Chris Philp, the Tory home affairs spokesman who was also in northern France earlier this week, Mr Jenrick was seen being pelted by glass bottles as he visited the area.
Mr Philp was also confronted by a man with a machete in Calais, saying: “I found it pretty shocking - you said behind me somebody had pulled out some sort of machete and we left pretty quickly.”

Keir Starmer announced a migrant returns deal with Emmanuel Macron last month, widely panned for featuring much lower returns numbers than the Prime Minister had hoped for.
Earlier this week, Philp said: "Labour tore up our deterrents before they were even in place, and the results are there in black and white.
"When I went to the Channel to see Labour's France returns deal in action, the truth was obvious. Within half an hour of arriving off the French coast, I watched two packed dinghies being escorted into UK waters. Every illegal migrant should be removed immediately upon arrival."
