A shop fitter mate of mine was working nights over there a few years ago fitting out shops when closed and he said then that the streets were full of rubbish, people sleeping in the streets and f*cking huge rats.

Those tents are poss just a stopover for many, until they can catch a dinghy heading this way.
French let them sleep in tents, we put them up in 4* hotels. Who are the biggest fools?
