Prime Minister ‘warns Brexit could see refugee camps in south east England’
In Calais, 3,000 illegals are camped out in the so-called Jungle trying to get to Britain.
“This is blatant scaremongering from Number 10 that has no grounding in reality”, he said. “If that stopped, then the incentives change for France”. They are bottling up 7,000 or more migrants in the camps around Calais.
Mr Johnson used his Daily Telegraph column to warn that the proposals were not agreed among EU leaders and the European Parliament’s president Martin Schulz “has already said that he wants to unscramble them”. However, if border controls were moved to Dover, they would be found on British soil and allowed to claim asylum and benefits.
The UK now has an agreement to check passports on French soil.
In a BBC Radio 4 interview, Mr Whiteman said: “Before that treaty was put in place asylum claims were running at 80,000 a year in the UK”.
“We urge the prime minister to refrain from showing any disrespect to the loyal servants who helped him win a majority government”, representatives of more than 40 local party associations wrote in a letter to the Sunday Telegraph. The French government have indicated that is not their view.
On Tuesday, the EU’s six original member nations – including Italy, Germany and France – stressed their commitment to “the process of creating an ever closer union among the people of Europe”. But neither of those men has the power to cancel the treaty.
Mr Jenkin said: “Boris was quite open and frank about it – it was no secret conversation”.

The February EU summit will focus on the UK’s demand for a reformed EU, a precondition for David Cameron to campaign for staying in and to call the referendum, which would take place in June at the earliest. “An abrupt and total interruption to incoming capital flows in response to a “Brexit” could see (sterling) decline by as much as 15-20 per cent”, the USA investment bank said in a client note.
The migration crisis is one of the reasons that is making people more likely to vote for a Brexit.
People granted asylum would be offered accommodation, while others could end up in detention centres awaiting deportation.
Britain will go to the polls in a national election on May 7Prime Minister David Cameron wants Britain to stay in European Union and hopes his draft EU deal, which was met with a huge amount of criticism from the public, the opposition and members within his Conservative party, is enough to make it happen.
Cameron said: “You know that we have that vital information when terrorists and criminals are travelling around Europe…”
The suggestion that the current border arrangements with France would be guaranteed by a “remain” vote in the European Union referendum is wrong.
The agreement, drawn up as part of a bilateral treaty between the two countries, allows the United Kingdom to operate its border controls on the French side of the channel.
