The Jungle.
The Jungle is a major makeshift migrant camp in Calais. There has been attempts to demolish it several times before including recently , but it is contagiously being rebuilt. This video above by Channel 4 given a small insight into what life is like inside the camp but also gives some of the migrants views on what they think the UK is like. Some almost depict England as the utopian world where no one sleeps rough and there is work, but it is really evident that even if you walk around any major city povity still has a strong presents. Also I think as a country we are becoming increasing hostile to people emigrate in to the country and even more so to refugees. I think that western media and Social media so play some role in this for both sides but it is a worry that it is not just the Uk but the west as a whole. The video below was filmed last year in February.
This is an example of how social media is giving out messages that have a bias view and generalises the people who are migrating. Even the name of the individual(s) who posted the video can be seen as saying a bit about the state of the UK. Also the high number of views do prove to an extent that it is being listed to. It could be interesting to try and find out why some in the westerns who are anti immigration want to publicly state their views.
