We told how campaign group Raise the Colours had been boasting online about sabotaging small boats to be used in migrant Channel crossings.

Ringleader Ryan Bridge and Daniel Thomas - once described as far right activist Tommy Robinson's right hand man - posed holding flags next to the apparent remnants of a boat.

Now, French authorities have banned 10 members of Raise the Colours, preventing them from entering or staying in the country.

Thomas and Bridge were not named by the French government.
