BREAKING; Major incident in the English Channel !

Featured Replies

Decussing already on UK news outlets. 

At least three are confirmed dead as dinghy carrying more than 40 capsizes in freezing English Channel - day after Rishi Sunak launched huge scheme to stop 'small boats' migrants claiming asylum

 

Three people have died after a migrant boat sank in the freezing Channel this morning - the day after Rishi Sunak unveiled a plan to target people coming across the waters from Albania.

Emergency calls reporting the vessel was in distress were received by the UK coastguard shortly before 3am.

It is the first known major rescue operation launched in the Channel since at least 27 migrants are known to have perished after their dinghy began to take on water in November 2021.

Was bound to happen sooner or later. There will of course be some fallout and consequences amidst the blame. Hope this unfortunate wake up call leads to a solution that puts an end to people trafficking across the channel.

When people make a trip on a little inflatable boat through rough seas in ice-cold water, what do they think?

Do they think?

Anybody who does such a trip must be aware that they can die and the change to die is not small.

So why do they do it?

 

It seems many of those migrants start their boat trip in France. Did anybody in France try to kill them? Is life so dangerous in France that they have to escape?

And if they have to escape because it is so dangerous, why don't they escape to any of the countries with a land "border" nearby?

 

If fishermen are on a sinking ship and they escape on a little inflatable boat then they do this in an emergency, they have no other chance. And obviously people should try to rescue them.

But if others deliberately bring themselves into great danger, why should the public care about those crazy idiots?

Would you take your kid on a trip like that?

Would you put kids in the world in a war zone?

Of coarse not, we seem to have a mis-understanding about my reply to you.
