Election Year or Fear!

On the subject of small boats, it's absolutely tragic that so many have died today. Whatever the rights or wrong they must be totally desperate to escape the lives they had to try and get a better future to put themselves at such risk.

Must be awful to be in that position.

I agree and don't.

It is tragic, but lets get this right. They are escaping from France. No one made them take that journey and pay that money.
It is cherry picking at any cost, for the most gain. As I said, they are tightening up the leaks in Europe and saying no to hand outs. These crossings will get more intense and frequent, as they scramble for the best slice of pie.
