Women and children on these boats ! Here is the emotional blackmail.

[davidholmes]

Anybody with a brain cell in their head could see that it was only an amount of time before this kind of loss of life would happen. Is anyone really shocked.

[Cumbriahandyman]

If they were smuggling cigarettes, they would soon stop it...

[lindylou]

How come suddenly there are women and children involved when for months it has been only young men being escorted safely via our water taxi service.

[popeye]

Why didn't they stay in one of the safe countries they travelled through? They took the gamble and lost.

[crownvicmick]

The only traffickers I can see are the french and British

[lesmccomb]

If we just returned them straight back to France then the journeys would stop within 2 weeks as word would get out simple

[ezioauditore]

Disbelief? Really? It was inevitable. We've ignored the Australian solution repeatedly. The French are only partly to blame - look no further than our own government.

[strawberryfieldsforever]

Women and children on the boat...well thats a first'.. and in all honesty' i personally dont believe this story

[richardwoods]

Why are leaving a safe country called France

[sebastiengodin]

France isn't a battlefield so why not just stay there. Them risking their lives to get here is not our fault.

[haitch]

I’m waiting to hear how this is our responsibility, seeing as the French police watched over the boats being launched and they weren’t here so….. how does any blame lie with us?

[danielbanks]

If you're genuinely concerned about these people, advocate for safe routes. Instead they keep getting closed off. France take far more people than us, and the people want to come here for family reunion, language reasons and cultural ties. Creating a two or three tier asylum system without making processing more efficient is just punishing innocent people.

[tammime]

The blood is on the hands of the French who let these invading boats leave their shores.

[johnnicol]

Fly them to France from Dover, Mansan Airport by chinook on the day the arrive.It will stop in a month.The can ask for the money back as well, when the get there.

[esmemcgill]

There was women and children on THAT boat

[Grahamgusbull]

I hope all you brave RNLI volunteers realise your tins during the coming year, will take some filling!

[catherinescrivener]

WHY, WHY do these people put their lives in so much danger to get to Britain they come right across the EU, these other countries will take care off them, WHY 👹

[lesferguson]

Mr Lee Anderson the vast vast majority are Young men

[scottjock]

Disbelief? It was only a matter of time.
