'You could just use the word people, couldn't you?' mrjamesob explores the conscious and subconscious dehumanisation of people crossing the Channel.
Reflecting on the rhetoric he often sees used, he said: "I always listen to BBC headlines - is there a better word to use than migrants? You could just say people couldn't you in most of those headlines."It's unlikely to be dirty Gerty from number thirty coming back from her holiday in Torremolinos is it?" James mocked.
"These people are clearly going to be foreign nationals," in a moment of realisation he went on "Or foreign nationals! foreign nationals crossing the [Channel].
"if the racists and the liars who populate every corner of the British media never point out that 80, 90 per cent of applications are actually passed? So that almost everybody that they describe as a 'migrant' or an 'illegal' is a bonified refugee or asylum seeker."
