It's a desperate and dangerous thing to try and get here in such a way, not an easy life choice.

In addition to what Lowhouse wrote, there is perhaps also an ignorance as to the risks.
The English Channel is one of the most dangerous waterways in the world. Highly tidal, with associated currents. Extremely variable weather, cold water, significant danger of exposure. Very heavy shipping traffic, chance of being run down. Tricky landing beaches, with cliffs or steep shingle. A very different beast to the Med, for all its greater distance and notorious sudden storms.
But someone hailing from the Middle East or Sub-Saharan Africa may not be at all aware of that - and I doubt the traffickers would inform them. |
That's a really good point - if they've made it safely across the 80-odd miles of Mediterranean, then the 20-mile English Channel would probably look like a mere formality. |  |

Whoever is supplying these boats has a lot of blood on their hands - what a way to make money. How have they been able to operate for so long. |
I'm going to simplify this a bit but containers from China loaded with dinghies on their manifest should surely ring bells wherever they come to port. It's only recently that German warehouses and storage facilities with dinglies coming from Turkey have had a bit of a crackdown.
It's generally held by all Eurpean nations that migrant smuggling and people trafficking is a terrible crime but when BBC journalists can track down the ring leaders and Interpol and national organised crime police departments don't then I'm led to think that the talk doesn't equal the action. |  | | |

You strike me as someone who likes to finish their statements with"End of'. |
Never have and always been open to an evidenced and reasoned explanation as to why someone wants to suckle at the teat of Farage.
Unfortunately, not one of his fanbase on here have been capable of providing anything that remotely fulfils those criteria so far.
Floor’s yours…..

People seem to be having a discussion, after your comment, no one is being called a racist.
I think the people that are called racist, are by and large, racist.
Don’t be scared, why not tell us your views. Rather than pop on to say you are not going to air a view.
You wouldn’t say, I am not going to comment on Ogbene’s suitability for the premier league, in case people accuse me of not knowing about football, forum would dry up pretty quickly. |
Hello darkness, my old friend. |  |

No point in discussing ‘the other side of the argument’ as just get labelled as a racist. |
Can’t recall anyone calling you a racist, Sitters.
You’re part of the TWTD furniture, highly regarded and perfectly placed to express your views on the thorny subject of immigration… | |
