Could things get violent?


Potentially - there are frequent clashes between refugees and police in the camp, as well as serious issues with crime among migrants.


As recently as last Wednesday one migrant was killed in a clash of up to 50 people at the camp. 


"More than 50 immigrants took part in the mass brawl, and all men – who are from Sudan and Eritrea – were drunk at the time," a Calais region police spokesman said. 


“The police officers soon realised that two of the migrants had been badly injured, and both were taken to a nearby hospital.


"But one of the two men, who was found some 100m from the camp suffering from life-threatening injuries, died overnight.” 


There have also been reports that some politically-motivated groups are manipulating migrants into attacking police to suit their own agenda.
