The British citizens living in Europe's worst refugee camp

The ‘new jungle’ near Dunkirk is home to 1,500 people, almost all of them Kurds, fleeing war, poverty and persecution in Iraq.
Conditions are shocking, and there is little sign of a solution. But among those trying to survive we find two naturalised British citizens who have chosen to live in one of Europe’s only shanty towns because their family members have been denied entry to the UK.

Nobody forced them to live there. They could have seeked safe refuge once they arrived in Europe.

Why are these people having up to 4 children if they are living in such miserable conditions?

They’re not british, if I moved to China I wouldn’t be Chinese I’d be a british person living in China.
The uk government need to make it clear that we are FULL UP and we have our own people to care for when are suffering.
Also there are big cities in Syria that are normal and not decimated by war, so why don’t they go there?

Why can't these reporters, report stories on the people in england that are going through hardships evey day. Report the unfairness of how they have to struggle to work, buy food, find work, unemployment, sick children the elderly etc. Why not do something to have the government look after their own first. You can't help others if you can't look after your own.

these people don't need to be there all they need to do is register in France but they don't want to live in France they want to come to the uk, they should register in the first safe country they enter.

[billyperry]

Why the uk you passed through 50 countries

[MsEldee]

And I have family in australia, canada, America. I can't go there and live.

[moewilson]

I so feel for these people. Refugees because of their own government. The UK and Europe however, are inundated and have no more room or money for more people. They have taken on more than possible. They should return home and try to rebuild their lives and country there.

[charleshultquist]

Pumping out babies without any idea about how they should manage....unacceptable.

[tinabrown]

Go back home and fight for your country like the Brits did in the 1&2 wars

[annastattin]

Europé is not a bank!. We can't pay for all that flew here . 😠😠😠

If you're single you're good; you go back to your country, get a wife and make 7 kids, what do you expect? Sorry, it's just a recurring story. That's just the way it goes. It's harder and harder for Europe to feel sorry for them. And it's harder and harder to appreciate these reacurring "let's feel sorry for them" documentaries. Am I in-human for saying this? Give me an answer, give something more than every single man doing this, getting a wife and reproducing---100, 000 (times the 7 kids and wife that comes with that)? Tell me when it will stop.
