Now that the decision is made to leave the EU, I have no doubt that most Brits think “let’s get on with it”. Too bad that they fell for a French game of chess. I remember the BBC making it into a perpetual news item what was happening in and around the Calais camp in 2016. I have no doubt that the prospect of refugees making it across the Channel, was what tipped the balance, made the Brits opt for a Brexit, by just a small margin. In the months right after the referendum was held, the French police cleared the Calais camp. Now is that a coincidence? Don’t think so.
