Fury as David Cameron calls Calais refugees 'a bunch of migrants' - smh

London: British Prime Minister David Cameron has been condemned over his response to the refugee crisis in Europe after describing people in a camp in Calais as a "bunch of migrants".

The British Refugee Council said Mr Cameron's comments were "disappointing" and called on him to show political leadership in response to the "desperate" situation.

Opposition MPs also lined up to criticise the Prime Minister, who made the inflammatory comments during a House of Commons clash with Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn​ as part of his response to Mr Corbyn's criticism of the British Government's deal with Google over its £130 million ($262 million) backdated tax bill.


Lisa Doyle, the Refugee Council's head of advocacy said: "When we are facing the greatest refugee crisis of our time, it is disappointing the Prime Minister is using flippant remarks to score political points.


"We have all seen the pictures of the desperate conditions people are living in across Europe, including just miles from the UK's border. The Prime Minister should be showing political leadership and work with other European countries to ensure that people can live in safety and dignity." - Read More at the refugees
