UKIP Transport spokesman Jill Seymour has accused the Government of turning a blind eye to growing security problems in Calais, where British lorry drivers are risking their lives running the gauntlet of migrants armed with guns, baseball bats, metal bars and knives.
“The situation has disappeared from the UK news headlines in recent months, but for hauliers who are using the Channel Tunnel, the situation has never been more dangerous,” said the West Midlands MEP.
“My heart goes out to these innocent drivers who are simply trying to make a living, yet finding their cabs coming under attack from increasingly organised and desperate gangs.
“It is an appalling situation, and one which the British and French governments seem content to ignore. The way they are apparently turning a blind eye is absolutely appalling – a disgrace.”
