    The northern French town of Calais has been all over the news of late, refugees (or migrants depending on your preference) calling it home whilst they wait to enter the UK.

    The encampment has been dubbed the Calais Jungle, situated on a former landfill and generally without proper sanitary or washing facilities. Two journalists went to the camp to document conditions, although things never went according to plan. This from the YouTube video:

    While shooting for their independent production ‘Calais: Welcome to the Jungle. ‘ photographer Teun Voeten and video artist Maaike Engels were mugged by three refugees armed with pepper spray and a big knife. Luckily, nothing happened and a few other migrants from the camp in Calais came to our rescue.

    Of course all this gives those opposed to the refugees entering the UK ammo to play with, but Engels was more diplomatic about the incident:

    After the incident, Engels wrote on her Facebook page: ‘Within every community, among the good ones, you’ll always find a couple of a**holes.

    ‘The Jungle is no exception. But I guess living under such deplorable conditions the less creative, intelligent and ambitious are very likely to become small criminals, because they’ve got nothing higher to aim at.’

    Every community comes with a couple of assholes, you won’t find anyone arguing with you there. I wonder what Trump will say once he catches wind of this video?
