It is right that migrants who have no legal basis to remain in this country should be removed. It is utterly wrong for those doing the removing to make disgusting racist jokes about them.
People who have endured long, painful and sometimes hazardous journeys to our shores will be bitterly disappointed when they are sent home again.
But they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect at every point in that process. And it will add insult to perceived injury to discover they have also been the butt of racist WhatsApp posts.
