French gendarmes stopped me on Wissant Beach today and demanded my identification.
Meanwhile, around 30 migrants were sitting on the beach just metres away.
Three of us were asked for ID.
None of the migrants appeared to be asked for theirs.
If the priority is preventing illegal Channel crossings, shouldn’t enforcement be focused on those suspected of attempting them, rather than photographers documenting what’s happening?
What do you make of these priorities?
