British Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn Visits French Refugee Camp
------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn has called on the
government to allow thousands of refugees living in the informal refugee
camp in Calais, France, to enter Britain. This comes after Corbyn
visited the camp on Saturday to meet with refugees. Thousands of
pro-refugee demonstrators rallied in the town of Calais Saturday. The
demonstration ended with police spraying tear gas and water cannons at
some refugees who attempted to board a British ship.
