A heart-wrenching account by a lifelong resident of Calais regarding the terrible impact on the town and its people of the thousands and thousands of "asylum seekers" in the "Jungle" awaiting their chance to invade France's neighbour across the Channel.
(Note: Sandgate in the subtitles should of course read "Sangatte")
As someone who has lived in Calais for 7 years I can say that I dont believe Simone is from Calais. We rarely see the refugees as they live and stay in the camp. There are about 4500 and I have been to the 'Jungle' so I know what im talking about. They are people that have lost everything.. Sleeping in tents in wet.. Freezing conditions. Pierre
wow ...
