'I don't feel safe here': Refugee says law won't stop small boat crossings | ITV News

It’s a world away from the Palace of Westminster, but if you want to gauge the impact of the government’s plans to stop small boat crossings, the windswept outskirts of Calais are a good place to start.

There are around a hundred small tents and tarpaulins pitched on wasteland between a supermarket and a haulage depot; a makeshift camp taking a battering from the relentless wind and rain.

There are no toilets, nowhere to cook or wash clothes, just the smoke from a handful of fires and a muddy brook filled with rubbish.

It’s home, if you can call it that, for hundreds of men and a handful of teenage boys who have fled war torn Sudan.
