Bill Etheridge, a Ukip MEP running to replace Nigel Farage, was visiting Calais as part of his election campaign. The migrant, who did not give his name, blamed Nato powers Britain, France and America for the terror the Taliban and Islamic State have inflicted on his nation. He said: “Who made the Taliban? Americans, Britain, France. “They have guns, everything. They give them [guns], they support them.

He added: “When Nato comes out of Afghanistan… The British… Americans will be in peace.” Nato’s military role in combat missions in Afghanistan came to an end in December 2014, with some troops left behind in an advisory role. Despite the efforts of Nato and the Afghan government, the Taliban still poses a significant threat in Afghanistan. On Saturday, militants from the group overrun a district in the south east, inflicting heavy casualties on security forces. Islamic State has also increased its influence in the country in recent months – as it faces up to significant territory loses in both Iraq and Syria. Last month five US special operation troops were wounded in combat with ISIS fighters in eastern Afghanistan.
