It does, because it affects how many of the people camped at Sangette

The reason that it's in Calais is that the people there want to be close
to the UK so as to make it easier to get to the UK.

In the hypothetical situation of the French just opening the gates and
letting them through, there would be no reason for them to want to stay
in Kent. And our government has a policy of dispersing migrants around
the country and not just requiring that they stay next to the port they
entered through.

It is therefore clear that any suggestion of "the jungle" being
replicated in Kent is, to be blunt, ********, unless it is populated by
British people desperate to flee to France.
