GB News host Michelle Dewberry and Bill Rammell heatedly exchanged comments about whether the Government cares about public safety. The pair clashed in a furious row after the Home Office announced that the refugee detention scheme is in force following a new UK-France deal. The first channel migrants have reportedly been detained, with Bill saying that the Government has a responsibility for public safety.
However, Dewberry fumed: "Don't make me laugh. If the Government cared about public safety, many of whom seem to have some kind of predisposition that they can do whatever they want with the women in this country, they wouldn't be putting them in and amongst the communities and putting the women and children at risk if their primary concern was the safety of the British public."
Rammell hit back and tried to reframe the debate: "You have to process the claims and deal with the problem." The GB News host then interrupted: "If you're a genuine refugee, why are you throwing your identification documents into the Channel?"
Rammell then argued that rejecting the Refugee Convention and thus refusing all asylum seekers would represent a departure from policies maintained by several administrations.
GB News guest Kelvin MacKenzie then said about the Channel crossings: "Don't you think 50,000 people a year is a lot? You seem so relaxed about it."
Rammell replied: "I am angry and I am not relaxed, but I believe in practical solutions. It's rubbish, Kelvin. Once the legislation is in place and the police have got those powers to go after them, in part, it will make a difference."
MacKenzie shot back: "It won't make a difference. They are running riot, and you know that."
The debate comes after several protests have broken out across the UK near asylum seeker hotels amid fears the Channel migrant crisis could lead to a surge in crime. It has been reported that MPs have now demanded that ministers protect women and girls by collecting DNA samples from illegal migrants.
In similar news, GB News presenter Ben Leo was told to "f*** off" by protestors when he tried to interview them at the Epping Stand Up to Racism migrant hotel protest.
The news presenter revealed video footage on social media to his followers, where he attempted to get comments from individuals but was met with several frosty encounters.
At one moment, a demonstrator said, "Get the f*** out of here!" while another told Leo, "Off you go. You're not welcome here." As he tried to move around the pen, Leo said, "That's not very nice. You don't need to be so angry." Another person simply told him to "f*** off."
