i am slightly worried about the french government closing 'the jungle' tomorrow.

i understand that people want to get away from their own countries and i understand that those poeple would like to go to a country where they can speak the language. BUT i am confused!!!

if they have been offered to apply for asylum in france why would they not want to do so, to keep trying to come here?

of all the time they have been in france, why have not been given french lessons?

i understand closing it down as it is a shithole, but there must be, as in britain, large buildings that would be good for the purpose of holding these poor people until they have been either approved or can go and apply to their country of choice.

letting these unfortunates live like that is inhumane, reducing them to feeling less human.

i really feel for them, but at the same time think that if life was so bad in their home countries why wouldn't you grab the oppotunity(?) to be apply for assylum where ever was safe?

i am seriously confused and don't want to judge these people wthout knowing more about the situation. although it seems to me they are sticking two fingers up at the french and saying that their country isn't good enough.
( although i can't say i blame them, i am an english stereotype in that respect. don't like the french on a national level, but on a personal level, and i have only met one french person and she was sound)

take care all
