I work in the US these days and last week one of my American colleagues was reading through the news stories and said he was confused by the photos of thousands of the great European unwashed massing in Calais.
"Why do they travel all the way through Europe, only to then be faced with a difficult sea crossing just to reach the UK, these photos show thousands of them - I just don't get it ?" he asked.
