Farage calls on army to get involved in Calais

We need to send a message to those people in Calais to say we will not be accepting illegal immigrants into Britain. The only way we can do that is to enforce the borders so we should use whatever resources we’ve got to stop this from happening.

There was a third night of chaos last night as more migrants tried to storm the Channel Tunnel in Calais.

Some 2,000 attempts were made to get to the tunnel on Monday and 1,500 more on Tuesday night, Eurotunnel said.

And despite the risks, hundreds of migrants - some looking as young as 13 or 14 - gathered along the fence to the freight terminal in Coquelles again overnight on Wednesday.

Nigel Farage says the border force "doubled or tripled in size" but as an emergency the British Army should be sent in to deal with the situation.

Speaking about his own experiences of potential migrants trying to get in his car, he said: “A couple of times I’ve been stuck on the motorway surrounded by swarms of potential migrants to Britain and once they tried the back door of the car to see whether they could get in…

"I kept the door locked! I wasn’t getting out. It is really, at times, quite frightening and certainly at night you get the feeling, ‘I just want to leave this place as quickly as possible!’”

Those people trying to get in the trucks are very very angry and very very desperate and they will take any measure.
