    Your point about France isn’t quite right. France accepts way more refugees than the UK and those accepted are looked after.
    However, many more refugees pass through France and it’s these people who are treated appallingly, beaten by the police, frequently having tents and possessions removed.

      Thanks for the clarification. Yes, it was the police trashing the camps that I was thinking of when I was talking about the conditions there being unsafe.

        Yes the police are brutes, completely out of control.
        The refugees are already living in shocking conditions in the camps, although volunteers do their best.
        It’s an appalling situation, people are desperate.
