Fury as unions could STOP plans to force French cops to intercept UK-bound migrants as it’s ‘too dangerous’

PLANS to force police in France to intercept migrants on the beaches before they board boats for Britain have been rejected by powerful unions across the Channel.

They claim it would be too dangerous to try to tackle overcrowded dinghies at sea.

PALast Saturday, 1,195 migrants arrived on 19 small boats — the highest number for a single day this year.[/caption]

And their opposition is threatening to scupper efforts to close a loophole that means officers in France cannot stop boats once they are already in the water.
