Calais mayor: Using Royal Navy to tackle migrants ‘declaration of maritime war’

The fierce words came as more migrants arrived in the UK on Wednesday

Sending the Royal Navy into the English Channel to deal with migrant crossings is a “declaration of maritime war”, the mayor of Calais has said.

Natacha Bouchart told France 3 that the British Government must take responsibility and called on Priti Patel’s French counterpart to push them on the issue.
