Conservatives use refugees as political pawns ahead of crucial Brexit period

Migrants have been crossing the channel in small boats fairly regularly for years and apparently no-one in the media really cared that much until now. The only reason it's increased in frequency recently is due to the imminent Brexit date and the securing of other equally dangerous avenues of illegal entry to the UK which is something that people were predicting would happen months ago.

I certainly didn't see the Home Secretary cancelling his holiday to declare it a "major incident", alarm stories about the fact we haven't got enough patrol boats or the BBC running it as their major headline and ticker filler everyday anyway.
