William Ferriter's List: Immigration

Britain will not take in hundreds of migrants evicted yesterday from the French refugee camp known as the Jungle, the Home Secretary claimed last night.

Alan Johnson insisted that suggestions Britain will be forced to accept some of the migrants were 'wrong'. He added he was 'delighted' French police had bulldozed the squalid camp near Calais.

However, evidence from France last night suggested Mr Johnson's optimism was seriously misplaced.
