Chris Philp: “Despite our warnings in Parliament, they initially planned to release rapists and dangerous criminals.”

The public expects clear evidence to always be followed up.

They started firing at the closest point to us on their course, right in the middle of the TV interview, which they would have seen happening. It felt to me like an attempted intimidation to stop us covering the migrant crossings.

There were no warnings in place about live firing training exercises. They fired the live rounds at the closest point of approach to us - and didn’t fire anything that we saw before or after.

There’s not a moment to lose and this can quite quickly be fixed.
