John Murray told the Politico website they had been lured to the South of France while studying law at Leeds under a false promise of “sun, sea and a healthy salary.”
He said: “We spent a month in the south of France as almost beach bums, selling ice creams to tourists, and making about four francs a day.
“The place was overrun with other beach sellers, because they’d all been suckered into thinking they’d earn hundreds of pounds a day.
“And then we found out it was actually not legal.
“So we spent our time kind of avoiding being arrested.”
He added: “To be honest, I did get arrested.
“But all that happened was you had your ice creams confiscated, got a receipt, then had to walk back to the beach without your flip flops.”
Asked if Sir Keir – who would later become the Director of Public Prosecutions – was also nicked, he said: “I can’t say that”, before adding: “I think he probably had his ice creams confiscated.”
Last night a Labour spokesman said: “We are happy to make clear that no arrests were made, or even names taken, and that the only loss of liberty occurred to some cut-price ice creams.”
