Philippe Mignonet called on UK officials to help clamp down on liberal activists using migrants for "political reasons".

He said: “The English government, who know who these activists are, should treat them as hooligans and not allow them to leave the country.

“They are acting as humanitarians undercover but they are using the migrants for political reasons. They are there to manipulate the migrants.
