What did they think was going to happen? The UK and French governments are encouraging illegal immigration, they are responsible for this.
Stop bombing Iraq, Syria, and Palestine and there will be no refugees. Problem solved. So arrogant to cause migration and try to send them to Africa. Unbelievable. Unconscionable
I realy don't understand why they want to come to Britain.
I,m surprised that the survivors were actually taken back to France.Where was our border force !!!
I die every day. What's the big deal?
What about our homeless veterans freezing to death on the streets.
Rwanda have had 160 million pounds from the uk up to now and more money yearly… are any refugees actually being sent there? Where did all the money go? Poor souls.
just imagine being so desperate you actually would do this ..its quitre profound
Why do you even let migrants in? It’s not like the UK needs farm workers like the US.
Well there is no cure for stupidity
