@ CSmiles_News(@FranklySpeakP):My female migrant source in Calais as an informant is the gift that keeps on giving. Here’s what she’s told me in note form this morning: She’s lying to the others about her nationality, because they’d rape and beat her if they knew she was Iranian so she says Afghan as the Kurds have a closer relationship with afghans. She tells me the women are raped by the men constantly when they’re alone. The women (her included) are offered free boat passage if they agree to be sold for sex. I’ll be writing more in my substack today about my entire trip.
