The Manston migration centre in Kent is now 3,000 people over its 1,000 capacity and continues to grow. Around 700 more people have also been moved to the site from Dover where a petrol bomber targeted a second centre yesterday. Manston has now been described as a "like a pressure cooker" after an outbreak of potentially deadly diphtheria. The former RAF airbase, which is the main processing centre for migrants before they are shipped off to hostels or hotels across the UK, has also been rocked by violent outbursts.
