MIKE HOOKEM MEP

 

In August 2015, after being invited by a haulier in his constituency, UKIP MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, Mike Hookem set off for Calais to see the effects of the migrant crisis for himself. 

 

The chain of events that transpired saw Mike threatened with a gun by people traffickers; surrounded by migrants looking for passage to the UK on a truck, and disturbing trespassers looking to gain entry to the EuroTunnel.

 

Six months on from his first visit, Mike has returned to Northern France with a film crew to see how the situation has developed. What Mike found, shocked even him. 

 

 

When EFDD MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, Mike Hookem set out to see for himself the dangers faced by British hauliers crossing the channel at Calais, little did he know that he would be threatened with a gun, caught in a riot, run for his life, and witness the true scale and misery of the people smuggling rings operating in Northern France. This documentary follows Mike and his fellow EFDD MEP’s, Jane Collins, Margot Parker, Jill Seymour and Steven Woolfe as they examine what is happening in Northern France.
