I volunteered two different refugee camp constructions in Syrian border and I know the difference between a refugee camp and a homeless camp clearly.

    That's a queue to get to Britain. It's a weird effect of inter-EU collaboration that Britain's borders effectively start at the coast of France.

    I wonder about the etymology behind the term "jungle" here. Is it derived from the slang term that train hoppers and other people in hobo culture use for the temporary, makeshift residences they hold in the woods near train yards during travel?
