'Art therapy', cricket, break dancing... and TWO GPs onsite: Inside Britain's biggest migrant camp where asylum seekers are called 'customers' and treated to the cushiest of lives - all paid for by YOU

They are only available, however, if you are one of the residents at Britain’s largest migrant camp, Wethersfield, near Braintree, entirely occupied by adult men who have often arrived on dinghies days earlier.
The club fondly remembers the first Wethersfield camp resident to don its team shirt – Mohammed Khan.
He did so after being told that there were then 585 migrants at Wethersfield, largely in former RAF family accommodation.
And since the camp opened, ‘the range of activities’ has included ‘English language lessons, art classes, gym fitness classes, martial art classes, a Christian wellbeing spiritual group, a chess group, playing cards competitions and a gardening club’.
The sporting facilities at Wethersfield include a fitness centre, a gymnasium, basketball, indoor football and cricket, and outdoor football, cricket and baseball pitches.
