Another Small Boat Tragedy.

The terrible price some pay to enjoy the freedoms we take for granted.

Can no way be found to help refugees avoid this dangerous crossing?

[newmodarmy]

Can you advise what freedoms do we have here that they don't have in France or elsewhere in Europe that they've passed through?

[naomi24]

How many do you want here, sandyRoe?

[webbo3]

Yeah, they can stay where they are, they are safe.

Care for calais

Refugees welcome 

Our government

And people like you have blood on your hands for encouraging them to take the risk.

[newmodarmy]

It's a tragedy that smugglers are making money from this and that as a result lives are sometimes lost and we have to try to accommodate those that make it taking resources from those born here.

But yes, there should be a process for asylum claims to be  made in the countries (in Africa/Middle East normally) they are 'fleeing' from.

12 less to house feed and give money to

[dave50]

They never answer that question newmodarmy. 

[smurfchops]

Can no way be found to help refugees avoid this dangerous crossing?  Are you kidding?

[ToraToraTora]

could have been sorted years ago. Governments of all sides thwarted by trobscites and HR money grubbing lawyers and general Liberal J arthurs. Yeah they pay a terrible price alright but I think they already have everything we have, in France.

Blame our own "Border Farce" and the discredited RNLI. They jointly stand accused of encouraging this wicked people trafficking by aiding and abetting the criminal smuggling gangs. Build it they will come.  

[Deskdiary]

Meh 

[Old_Geezer]

Yes a way can be found. They can save their money and stay in France, or any of the other nations they chose to pass through.

 

This is the sort of thing that happens when governments don't give a guano, fail to do what is necessary, or even deliberately act to make things worse, for reasons unknown; so presumably on whim.

[david small]

Humans are exasperating. Never happy, never enough, never ending, until they end.

[dave50]

Still not had an answer from sandy.

[youngmafbog]

They can avoid it by not doing it and staying in France which has beena very safe country since 1945.

Now I see the French want Asylum seekers to be able to apply from France.  Why? - They are safe!

Of course most on the Dingys are not Asylum seekers, they are illegal economic migrants but successive Governments seem reluctant to admit this.

And of course, voice your opinion too loudly and Chairman S2TK will send his Stasi round to arrrest you.

Speaking of France:

So they have open borders encouraging movement into their country, don't intervene when boats are launched in case they get blamed for domething, fail to stop the crominal gangs, fail to prevent the unseaworthy craft from leaving; and who do they allegedly blame ? The nation who will be the victim of their inaction and failure. A case of, putting their blindfold on, denying everything, and blaming someone else.

[Old_Geezer]

...criminal...

[Old_Geezer]

...something...

[Samuraisan]

Well I think France is happy for them to leave. They don't want them either. Stop all the benefits and promises they are told. Make a few immediate examples by sending them back to their countries or France if they have dumped their documents. No more free housing, schooling, healthcare. Thatis what they are coming to the U.K for. Not because of it's green and pleasant land and culture. Put them in a camp, built maybe in an uninhabited Scottish island. That'll stop the dinghys for sure.

Samuraisan, wont happen uless we leave the ECHR and rewite the human rights act.  And dont expect that from #S2TK.
