Cameron under pressure over Calais crisis
Pressure is mounting on UK Prime Minister David Cameron over Calais crisis.
The critics blame him for the economic recession in the region resulting from Channel Tunnel crisis saying he needs to demand compensation from France for Calais business.
Faversham and Mid-Kent Representative Helen Whately says the long queues of lorries in the area have turned into "a nightmare" for her constituents over the past month.
She went on saying the situation has brought to a standstill the region so that the residents cannot even go to work easily.
Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman said Cameron ignored earlier warnings about the developing crisis in Calais. The politician also accused Cameron of using "incendiary and divisive language" while speaking about the migrants.
About 5,000 migrants are living in a makeshift tent city in the French town of Calais awaiting their chance to cross the Channel Tunnel to the UK.
Meanwhile, Calais' Deputy Mayor accused Cameron of being racist and extremist when speaking about the migrants calling them “swarm of migrants.”
David Cameron has warned against the continuation of the crisis saying extra sniffer dogs and fencing are to be sent to France.
"When reflecting on British government's approach towards the Calais crisis, this really betrays the British leadership think of these people and show that the leadership considers them less than human beings," London-based Activist and Journalist Sukant Chandan told Press TV.
Chandan accused the UK government of being an irresponsible entity adding, London uses the migrants as escape goats to press ahead with its projects.
The activist said such a colonialist approach has been adopted on many occasions by the UK government and other European countries noting Europe punishes most migrants who have fled their war-torn countries including Iraq, Syria and Libya.
