TV's Matt Frei interviewed M. le Maire of a coastal town in the Pas de Calais a while back, who opined that:

1. Non, France would not agree to the stationing of les flics anglaises on the departure beaches which in any case was a decision far above his pay grade, and

2. If gov.uk were serious about preventing the crossings they’d follow the money through the cash laundromat that is the City of London.

Natch the latter would involve close scrutiny of a number of institutions close to the black, undead heart of the Conservative Party. Plus forensic accountancy doesn’t make for eye-catching headlines in the D**ly M**l or the Brexpress.
