The Mirror found evidence of this early yesterday morning on a remote beach near Calais. We discovered a caravan and three shacks hidden in the dunes being used by the smugglers. In the caravan were large pieces of cardboard to sleep on. On the floor were a man’s four passport photos, obviously mistakenly left behind before he left. There were footprints in the nearby sand. It looked like three men and a woman had clambered aboard whatever vessel had been there to take them across the water. I was stopped by three police officers in an unmarked car at 5.30am. Initially I thought they were gang members so I jammed down the accelerator to get away. But I suddenly noticed the gendarme badge on an officer’s arms and stopped. They asked me to open my boot to check if a migrant was hidden inside before allowing me on my way.
