I’ve said this yesterday already, but I’ve really had enough of these. It is a non-crisis and how media outlets are helping amplify it achieves only one thing: fuel anti-migrant hate. This new language of “suspected migrants” is despicable. Another way of dehumanisation. 1/ pic.twitter.com/GrOubfe7MU

One thing we learnt from the so-called ‘migration crisis’ in Europe was that the ‘crisis’ language has been used by many States as justification for deviating from human rights and humanitarian norms. It has killed countless refugees & other migrants https://t.co/sH0LYYvH3g

The migrants in the Channel story is "a crisis" only in so far as it concerns the 33 individuals and children whose lives have been put at risk. Its real purpose is to scaremonger doubters back into backing Brexit.

Make no mistake, this is not in response to genuine concern for human life. This is @sajidjavid imitating Donald Trump's "migrant caravan" manufactured emergency to whip up fear before the Brexit vote. Desperate and cynical. https://t.co/8ABCUXyDWs

More lying for @realdonaldtrump.
