A view of the Bibby Stockholm floating detention centre at Portland Port in Dorset, built to house fewer than 250 people but which will now house up to 500
THE government was branded “morally reprehensible” today for standing by Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson telling asylum-seekers who don’t like the Bibby Stockholm barge to “f*** off back to France.”
The Ashfield MP made the comments after just 15 migrants entered the floating accommodation off the Dorset coast on Monday, with 20 said to have not boarded as planned due to legal challenges.
Despite widespread criticism over his language, he was backed by Justice Secretary Alex Chalk and later suggested people who arrive in Britain after crossing the English Channel were not “genuine asylum-seekers.”
