Did anyone else notice on the news in the last couple of days when the reporter was at the Jungle in Calais that there were a few caravans in the background of the shots. At least two of these appeared to be UK vans with the door on the left side. Where
did the migrants get these from? If you store your caravan in France are you sure it is still there ??

    More "activists" than migrants there, probably well heeled Brits in Caravans.

    I noticed some 'Charity' notices on one. Perhaps they are they 'offices' of those charities, trying to ease the conditions of the residents. Supplying tents blankets and soup - who knows.

    A while back a charity in Cornwall was appealing for unwanted caravans which they took to Calais for the migrants. 

    Mystery solved.

    Perhaps the Dentist and his caravan is still there.
