In 2003, Britain's border controls were moved to the northern shores of France. But following the UK’s vote to leave the European Union, there have been renewed calls to move the border back across the channel. In  Calais, thousands of migrants and refugees are camped along the frontier.

This is the heavily fortified UK border. The high fences and barbed wire were installed to try and stop migrants stowing away on trucks and trains bound for the UK. It’s led to thousands of people being stranded in camps along the frontier. There are now 7,000 people living in the infamous Calais camp, known as The Jungle.

Maya Konforti works for an NGO that helps the migrants. She tells me she doesn’t believe the border will move after the Brexit, although she wishes it would.

"I think we should definitely open the British border, it will make everybody happy - the people who think refugees deserve to go and ask for asylum where they want and even the right wing people who don’t want this ‘jungle’ there. Let’s just get rid of this border and then everyone will be happy," Konforti said.

Many of the volunteers here are British and were shocked by how toxic the immigration debate was during the Brexit campaign.

"There is a lot of fear and a lot of fear mongering that goes on from the politicians and the media and it’s really so sad because there is so much we have in common with people here," Volunteer Hettie Colquhoun said.

She tells me some people in the camp are concerned about what the Brexit will mean for them.

"Certainly we get asked about it and what the effects are. We’ve got new arrivals coming in every single day, a lot won’t understand or know. There’s a lot of questions about what it means," Colquhoun said.

But for many of the refugees and migrants living here the potential consequences of the Brexit are not their top priority.

People here are more concerned about threats by authorities to completely tear down the camp and about surviving daily life in the squalid jungle camp.
