Videos that show migrant crossings ‘in a positive light’ could be outlawed under new Tory rules

Culture secretary Michelle Donelan said posting positive videos of crossings could be aiding and abetting immigration offences.

Digital platforms could be forced to remove videos that show migrant crossings to the UK “in a positive light”, culture secretary Michelle Donelan announced this week.

An amendment included in the government’s Online Safety Bill seeks to make posting some videos that show English Channel crossings in small boats an offence by linking them to existing immigration offences.

“Aiding, abetting, counselling, conspiring etc. those offences by posting videos of people crossing the channel which show that activity in a positive light could be an offence that is committed online,” Donelan said in a written statement.

The measure comes as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is under increasing pressure from his own members of parliament and the public to deal with the small boats.

The government announced measures in December to prevent migrants who crossed the English Channel from remaining in the country, with Sunak outlining a series of strategies for dealing with illegal immigration.

No Channel migrant crossings have been recorded for two weeks, according to official data.

It is the longest uninterrupted period without migrant crossings since a 13-day hiatus was recorded between March 29 and April 10 last year, analysis of government figures by the PA news agency shows.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
