At least three people have died after a #migrant boat incident #channel4news

[cloudedmind]

rescuing these people just encourages them

[andytyrrell]

Only three. 47 made it. So 94% smuggling success rate.

[tremlinn]

Anyone know where I can find some middle aged blokes that hate asylum seekers?

[russelljones]

This seems to be a really inappropriate way for a professional news organisation to deliver a story like this.

[mikewingert-savagelyerudite]

Who cares? A good job too. What about UK pensioners?

[janecooper]

Only a fool would set off in a dingy to cross the English Channel in this weather! How much did the rescue operation cost?

[andyhawkins]

Ummm should have stayed at home then ! plenty of people here without heat or food so why please should I care about this ?

[imperatorvespasian]

what will the NHS do losing 3 new brain surgeons

[leebrown]

An old pensioner has probably died of the cold today because they could not afford to heat their home and Channel 4 doesn't give a toss

[ant]

Well, that's three less, of people we _don't want here_ .

[lesrush]

Sorry I have no sympathy with these people, they left behind a safe country to cross a dangerous stretch of water then they only have them selves to blame

[bamboozled]

Pity this doesn't happen on a regular basis, maybe then the invaders would think twice about trying to get to the uk

[bobyoung]

Exactly Lee . Old English (?) saying ... You pays your money and you takes your chance . We have homeless people, living rough, we have all manner of people young and old thinking about the next meal, or how to stay warm... and you want me to be concerned about locusts taking chances in flimsy 'boats' ? No chance !

[chriswilde]

Can you imagine if it was the other way around; as in people leaving our coast to go over to France, we would have the army out patrolling the coastline, there is no way we would allow this to happen....

[happydog]

50 people paying 2.5£ each.
Should have stayed in France and rented a property.
The benefits handouts need to stop.

[acewalsall]

ZERO SYMPATHY... THEY TOOK A CHANCE AND IT DID NOT PAY OFF, SUCKS FOR THEM!

[Mattuk]

Is this an official Channel 4 news broadcast? Or a girl filming an Instagram story in her bedroom?

[adampickering]

Well who’s fault is this?? One the drug gangs two the French for letting them cross and thirdly their own fault.

[originalshadowfax]

Tough illegal immigrants make their choice

[fredhunter]

The french gov are wholly responsible, should have stopped them before they left
