  1. Was it kids? I struggle to have any sympathy unless it is innocent children who have been forced into it by their selfish, economic migrant parents.

  3. ‘*Illegal*’ migrants. They are *illegal* migrants.

    Call them what they are.

  4. Meh…

    Unless it’s kids, who have no idea what’s going on then I couldn’t care any less.

    Sick of it all.

  5. Why risk their life crossing to the UK rather than stay in France? There must be certain incentives for them to risk coming here.

  6. We should do a deal with France to stop the boats at source. In exchange we will probably need to do a deal to take a negotiated number of people from France.

  7. Park a fucking destroyer in the channel. They’ll soon stop after a couple 5 inch shell fly over their heads

  8. They left a safe country (France) to come here. Why?

  10. Vs three migrants survive, integrate and live long lives after staying in France.

  11. Something something migrants are an economic benefit something something but also the UK deserves more migrants as punishment for the British Empire and recent foreign policy.

  16. This is on the French. They do nothing to stop the crossings and potential deaths.

  18. Remember all those people saying that the small boats aren’t even worth bothering about? Well people die.

  20. Well don’t hold out the carrot of an easy life on benefits here, and save lives

  21. Ooff. A lot of people without all of their humanity intact commenting on here. I don’t want illegal undocumented people entering my country and eating up my tax money either. Doesn’t mean I get to gleefully smile and take pleasure when they die either.

  22. Instead of travel advertisement, this should be pinned and advertised in some countries

  23. Actively sink a few ships and make it clear you will sink any trying to cross and act on the threat.

    50 people might drown. But imagine the lives saved over the next ten years if boat crossings stopped completely.

    If they want to claim asylum, demand they do it remotely from France.

  24. Most of these migrants aren’t even from a war torn country in the first place.

    Most of them come from India, Pakistan, Morocco, Tunisia and Africa in general, Afghanistan (where the war is long over) Sri Lanka, Bangladesh. None of these countries are at war, and are considered safe countries.

    Few of them come from Syria (where the war is now over too) Palestine, Israel or Ukraine, where actual war is going on. I mean i have yet to see Ukrainians, Israelis or Palestinians trying to illegally cross the English channel or being smuggled into the EU. There are also absolutely no EU citizens trying to cross the channel illegally.

    The only exception is Libya where there is still a civil war of sorts going on.

  26. Why where they coming here? They have Uber Eats in France, we dont need any more Uber Eats cyclists.

  30. Apparently the plan is to start copying the EUs tougher anti immigration rules that they are applying in Italy and Spain.
