A month ago, on September 19th, I joined a protest in Calais in support of the rights and humanity of the estimated four thousand inhabitants of ‘the Jungle’. We marched, heard the stories of scores of refugees and watched an inspiring and creative protest pass off without so much as a moment of conflict. French police stood impassively at a distance, fewer in number than I had been expecting.
