  1. France should do more to stop the boats

    They are the ones responsible for this

  2. I get why they do it.

    My mate lives off the benefits system and he’s got everything – a pair of tracksuit bottoms for every day of the week, all the Smart Price ASDA chips he can eat and he even gets to watch This Morning broadcast live straight to his very own bedsit. He’s living the dream. No wonder these immigrants are so desperate for a piece of that. Not to mention those fleeing from death threats, persecution and civil unrest.

  3. We need to stop making the UK seem like a promising place for refugees, then there will be no boat and no deaths.

  4. What kind of parent puts their child in such a dangerous situation, to flee a perfectly safe and welcoming country?

    Reckless endangerment of a child gets you a maximum of 14 years, will justice be served? Answers on a postcard….

  5. Sorry to be that person but her parents failed her. 

  6. The smuggler and parents of this child should be charged for child negligence and manslaughter.

  7. A couple, whose origin is being determined, with their four children, including the mother who is pregnant, were on board,” Préfet du Nord said.

    Fucking hell, imagine endangering not only your living children with this shit but also your unborn. I suppose they went into this journey with a very survival of the fittest mind set.

  8. If your first thought isn’t about stopping these boats, then you don’t care about these immigrants.

  9. It’s funny seeing peoples take on solving this issue every time this type of story is posted. The Government isn’t interested in a solution.

  10. It always reminds me of a post I read on /Somalia where they were discussing how economic opportunities are better in the USA than Europe and one user asks if it’s possible to claim asylum in the US if they live in the UK.

  11. I’m probably gonna sound like a heartless bastard but why didn’t they stay in France? They were already safe as is. Why force yet another dangerous journey on themselves?

    Doesn’t seem like anyone should be held accountable for this other than the parents as it’s their actions that caused this rather than any official bodies etc.

  12. Why are people risking their childrens lives the genuinely pathetic

  13. The people commenting in this thread seem to have been born without a heart. We hardly take any refugees. We lock them in hotels unprocessed. Provide for almost no needs. All because of the lottery of their birth. No one here in the UK deserves anything, they just happen to be born here. Being English isn’t special.

    Truly, i wouldn’t want any of you anywhere near my family in fear your hate would run off on them

    Pathetic forms of life

  14. Yet whenever the UK government tries to deter these tragedies, a la Rwanda, they get nothing but shit from Reddit.

  15. This shit is tough all around and there isn’t a quick answer.

    I take no political sides.

    I won’t comment on the whole situation.

    But 2 things, not to be taken out of context:

    1. Would I/you do what I could to secure a better life?

    2. Well. A 7 year old died. RIP.

  16. Somehow this is the fault of “Tory Austerity”, or “not enough legal routes”.
