We've been bending over backwards to accommodate these people, and they _still_ do things like this. Enough is enough. Something needs to be done.

Heart-felt sypathies to all the the families and friends. Unfortunately there will be many more, but our politicians do not grasp the reason.

That beautiful boy. My heart breaks and prayers go out to his family.

[paulhumphrey]

The citizens of the UK need to stand together and hold our political establishment responsible for this.
Time and time again they virtue signal with their pathetic apologies but never act.
Stop the boats, leave the ECHR and put a stop to the self harm our government seem to be doing to our nation.
Rest in peace 🙏🏼
