    Pay your bar bill and leave a few mill behind the counter ...

    A senior French minister has called on Britain to pay more towards the cost of dealing with migrants trying to cross the Channel from Calais and to accept more refugees into the country.

    Gérard Collomb, France’s interior minister, who will accompany President Emmanuel Macron on an official trip to the port city this week, said in an interview published on Sunday that he would push for more “concrete measures” regarding the UK financial contribution to the Touquet accords between the two countries.

    The agreement, signed in 2003, effectively moved Britain’s border to the French side of the Channel, allowing UK immigration officers to carry out checks in Calais.
    First we have to pay to move the border to France because they can't keep the economic migrants from jumping on lorries from the camp the french built next to the ferry port then they want us to continue paying for their incompetence.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

    It’s called negotiations. (Or is it called sabre rattling - which term is it the brexit faithful use when their side try the same thing?)
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Nor the EU (and hence nothing to do with any bar bill). This was an agreement entirely between France and the UK, as sovereign nations.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          Macron is sensing an opportunity due to Brexit and putting his paw out,

            Hopefully there will be a hard brexit and the border will be closed. Those explosives placed in the tunnel "just in case" can be used.

              A good point raised on QT that France demanding millions is just the beginning as countries queue up with their post Brexit demands.

              It could get very expensive indeed!

                But we're going to have a bridge. It will be Yuge. People will see the bridge and know that we mean business. And best of all, we're going to get France to pay for it.

                  Why does the UK have to pay for anything? The UK holds all the cards and should be demanding that the EU pays for everything, or the UK will stop importing Kraut 'luxury' cars.
