MIGRANTS living in shanty camps in northern France will be put on ferries and sent to Britain the day after a vote to leave the EU, a French mayor warned last night.

Franck Dhersin said the Touquet agreement, which was signed in 2003 and places the UK border at the French ports, will be quickly torn up after an out vote, allowing the French government to hire DFDS ferries to start the mass exodus immediately.
The ferry company operates from Calais and Dunkirk to Dover.
French gendarmes would be called in to police the vessels when the evacuations begin.
Mr Dhersin, a no-nonsense mayor for a 7,000 strong community at Teteghem, a large suburb of Dunkirk, was last year instrumental in closing a migrant camp in the town where shootings had taken place between rival people-smuggling gangs.

In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Express, Mr Dhersin said: “We all believe that Britain will vote to leave the EU because of the rise of nationalism, not only in your country, but in other European countries as well.
“Then the Touquet agreement we have at the moment, which puts the UK border in France, will quickly come to an end. Be in no doubt, it will no longer exist.
“The border will move to Dover and so the migrants who come to Calais and other ports and towns in northern France will then be put on DFDS ferries and taken to Dover. This will happen.
