TRUCKERS: DESTROY THE JUNGLE OR ELSE
Wills & Kate’s top cop quits job Vine’s raging ordeal Drivers in vow to cripple Calais
THE senior police officer in charge of protecting Prince William and his family at their home has dramatically quit.
Assistant Chief Constable Sarah Hamlin, 48, announced she was leaving her £100,000-a-year job in a series of tweets.
She wrote: “After 30 years I’ve resigned to the fact that my values no longer fit the org. I can’t make a difference, support front-line.”
Later she added: “Let’s hope policing can recover & the officers & staff welfare is prioritised.”
Ms Hamlin, a mum-oftwo, said she was retiring and looking forward to spending more time with her family. She would not clarify the reasons for her departure.
Norfolk Police has been forced to make cuts in the last five years to trim its budget by £25million. Last week it said it was trying to save a further £5m.
Ms Hamlin was appointed in 2014 to lead the Royalty Protection team providing security to William, Kate, Prince George and Princess Charlotte at their Anmer Hall home on the Queen’s Sandringham estate.
A spokeswoman for Norfolk Constabulary said she was unable to comment on Ms Hamlin’s tweets, saying: “It’s not for us to discuss.” 1 2 9 3
FURIOUS truckers in Calais have vowed to block off the port until officials destroy the migrant Jungle camp.
They have been joined by shopkeepers, businesses and farmers in the area angry at rising crime and violence from the 10,000-strong shanty town.
The region’s workers are threatening to block the road to the port “indefinitely” with a “human chain” starting on Monday.
Haulage federation chief David Sagnard warned: “Migrant violence hasn’t gone up a notch. It’s gone up 10 floors.”
He said drivers were “risking their lives”.
Armed gangs have started forcing lorries to stop so ® migrants can climb aboard, even blocking major roads with fallen trees. Monday’s blockade would cause mayhem for Brit holidaymakers and haulage drivers. Businessman Frédéric Van Gansbeke said: “We want a date for the dismantling of the northern part of the Jungle. We will not move until we get a date.” Home Secretary Amber Rudd yesterday met French counterpart Bernard Cazeneuve in Paris to discuss the issue. They agreed to “step up joint efforts to improve the situation in Calais”. OVER 27,000 people suspected of illegally entering Britain have been arrested since 2013.
