Lots will be using even stronger terms.
The metropolitan elite, and hand wringing, guilt ridden liberals risk looking completely out of touch.
Frankly, I couldn't give a toss about passengers boarding the Outrage Bus on this one.
@RogerHelmerMEP: Calais was British until 1558. Maybe it's time to take it back.
So what do we get from Labour about Calais. A workable solution? Oh, no, they raise their skirts and run shrieking away ...
"Swarming! He said a naughty word! Oh! Oh! Oh!"
Reminiscent of the Jehovah sketch in 'Life of Brian.'
Welcome to the Kindergarten.
Utterly pathetic.
Oops my mistake - of course I meant the LD 'outrage half-full minibus'
I keep saying that Corbyn will never be leader.
Now we have Labour obsessing about semantics. Perhaps, I'm totally wrong and they're desperately trying to commit suicide. Or else it's a betting scam.
No wonder we end up with drones like the other three in the Labour leadership contest. We only have ourselves to blame.
Lefties have learned absolutely nothing from their general election humiliation.
Try telling the people stuck in the car park on the M20 that Cameron needs to be more "careful" with his words.
Talk about fiddling while Rome burns, our immigration system under staffed and overloaded, thousands of illegal violent people charging our border controls, and some people thing the important thing is to wring our hands about the appropriateness of language. Pathetic.

Childish point scoring, they say we get the politicians we deserve.
Was it a 'mistake'? Perhaps, in terms of opening up to attack. Was it 'wrong' and 'offensive'? Not in the slightest.
I'm sure some are but to suggest that the majority if not all these 'thousands' are violent is somewhat over the top.
Of all the problems that exist in Calais and in the Med the word "swarm" being used ranks about bottom.
CWU endorses @Corbyn4Leader. "There is a virus within the Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn is the antidote," says @DaveWardGS
Will no-one condemn this disgraceful use of "virus" to describe the innocent Blairites desperately camped on the outside of the race?
* (allusively) of persons who leave the original body and go forth to found a new colony or community.
* A very large or dense body or collection; a crowd, throng, multitude. (Often contemptuous.)
Clearly the first one could work in this situation, although founding a new community might not be the main intent. It is also, I suspect, pretty archaic. The second one is how most people would interpret the word I suspect - which means we are into debates about how large the crowd has to be in order to qualify.
Umm, not very attractive - but an accurate description of their tactics.
Corbo will be jumping on the Eurostar - whilst it is moving at Coquelles - to show solidarity with those slurred by the bad words.

People are fed up with this: we understand that there are people who are genuine refugees who need help and the British have been and are a generous and welcoming nation. I am happy to have good quality legal migrants and to give shelter to genuine refugees.
But we're not mugs and we're fed up with having our generosity abused and being taken for mugs by people who think that because they "want" (and in many cases have paid a lot of money to illegal gangs) they should "have. Well, tough. No.
A prolonged stay while their alleged claims are processed on one of our remaining islands: St Helena, maybe, or St Georgia is all that should be offered.
As for the tunnel, the camp should be abolished and the fencing secured. If there are prolonged and repeated attempts to breach it then maybe electric fencing is needed. These may be unpalatable options. But what is even more unpalatable is the idea that we should open ourselves up to anyone in the world who wants to come here - no matter what the wishes of the inhabitants and no matter how undesirable such "migrants" might be.
I made the classic mistake of drinking tea while reading a PB thread. Luckily managed to avoid the keyboard and only have to wipe tea of the computer table!
Using them purely for political gain whilst not giving a stuff for anyone who is actually adversely effected is the name of the game.
But getting from Dover to Scotland, you're best of going up the A1/A1(M)
To be fair they've had a good run out of talking complete rot and getting away with it for a couple of decades.
As long as there are threads and comments like this from leading centre-left politicians, they will stay in opposition:
He'd have his own private jet to get him there...
It has a certain ring to it.
Google definition of swarm:
a large number of people or things.
Eg "a swarm of journalists"
Any journalists outraged over this?
They have also abandoned their fellow country men to tyranny and/or poverty whilst they look out for themselves, rather than stay to fight for a better, more just life for all their fellow citizens. Some might call them spineless cowards, running away from the truly difficult choices in life.
And yet the Left wants to lionise these people? Sheeesh....
There's been a motorway link between Scotland and England...
...since 2008!
The insane two of the left on this issue(Tyson,Roger) both live abroad.
If he says they should all be welcomed into the UK, his seat is at risk, let alone his leadership ambitions.
If he says they shouldn't be allowed in, he'll be a racist to his party.
A good old squirrel come to the rescue.
Come on, Jezza, go over and welcome them in personally. You'll be the only one who would get away with it.
Again, Labour affiliated so they can all sign up for free and take part in the leadership election. I wonder how many of the almost ¼ million union members announced today alone will be encouraged to vote for theirs union bosses preferred candidate?
