Migrants’ stars still here in numbers this morning, and of course, the lorries stuck up in their hundreds waiting to get to the port. The authorities here are preparing for another day of confrontation 1. And already, some of the migrants have been trying to get into the lorries overnight. This is Pete Alexander from Rotherham.

“We are all in the zone of this. He is in the zone, he is in the zone. We are all in the zone. We are not a group. What do you see we are doing? We are drivers and we can’t…If he were to tell me what I need, X. They don’t want to be seen on tele.”
“Well, Pete, hopefully, your journey, I know you were in the confrontation with them already this morning. Hopefully it will be a little less problematic when you get onto that tunnel and cross the other side?”
“Yes. ”
“Ok, well, thank you, Pete.”
