David Cameron claims leaving the EU would mean France ending its border controls with Britain - despite the Anglo-French border agreement having nothing to do with the EU

A humanitarian disaster would ensue. It is a foolhardy path, and one the government will not pursue. On the contrary, we’re going to make the border even more watertight to dissuade smugglers and migrants, respect international rules and reduce the pressure on Calais.”
Cameron is a LIAR.
This is the first of the scaremongering from the Remain campaign. It's laughable of course because it because of our EU membership that we have such little border controls and we cannot deport terrorists. But this is the first big lie of the campaign Cameron is putting out....
The agreement Cameron is referring to has nothing to do with the EU, it is a treaty between France and Britain (see below).

He's got no real arguments for keeping us in the EU, his reform package was pathetic so now he's resorting to scaremongering. And telling outright lies.
Thoughts?
