But Mr Cleverly said it was "a celebration of the loss of life in the Channel".
He told Sky News: "There are a bunch of people there joking and celebrating about criminal actions which costs lives, people die.
"People die in the Mediterranean, they die in the Channel. This is not funny. It is vile. It is a celebration of the loss of life in the channel."

Asked if the boat could have been a commentary on the Conservatives' failure to stop the boats he said: "Our ability to sort that problem out has been hampered every stage by the Labour Party who aspire to border control.
"They know that had they supported us, they voted over 130 times to prevent us taking greater control of our borders, the hypocrisy of the left on this issue is breathtaking and to joke about it, to celebrate it at a pop festival when there have been children dying in the channel is completely unacceptable."

The stunt took place while Bristol rock bank Idles were playing on the Other Stage at Worthy Farm on Friday night.
The boat appeared while the group were performing Danny Nedelko, a 2018 release which begins with the lyrics: "My blood brother is an immigrant, a beautiful immigrant."
Banksy yesterday posted a video of the boat sailing through the crowd on his Instagram.
