    The wicked, cynical people-smugglers, deliberately leaving their 'clients' in leaky, unsafe boats in mid-Channel in midwinter, must not be allowed to manipulate public opinion: https://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2018/12/heres-a-real-mystery-for-poirot-why-do-we-pay-the-bbc-to-insult-us.html …

        If we take their 'clients' in, more will come. Best to take back to home land.

        The migrants involved have paid to be trafficked knowing the risks so they share culpability.

        People who trumpet their 'Christian faith' the loudest often behave in the most uncharitable/uncompassionate/*UN*-Christian way. Hitchens should be ashamed to write of the need to recognize Christmas as a Christian festival, whilst failing to honour his religion's central tenetspic.twitter.com/u5i6SQ1VZN

        So you think we should aid criminals? There is nothing in the 'tenets' of Christianity that say we should accept migrants into our country. BTW, Gandhi, like most of those who say 'nice' things about Jesus, would not have really liked what Jesus said.

        It is Peter Hitchens who is the wicked and cynical one. As usual, lots of Daily Mail ranting and raving, but no solutions, except the suggestion that these refugees should be allowed to drown to serve as a deterrent. Which is tantamount to murder. And PH calls himself a Christian

        There is no other word for it than invasion. Helped by the French(EU) and the UK authorities.

        "'We would rather die at sea than go back to France,' say migrants in Calais" . Well I feel the same about France these days.

        I totally agree with you Peter, if a family from the UK 🇬🇧 went out in a dinky in the channel & ended up having to be rescued the media & Government would slam them for doing it!! The gangs are manipulating the public for sympathy!!

        If there were women and children amongst them might be a bit more sympathetic. All you see is young men.

        There's about 100 people crossing, it's a national crisis. If this is a crisis then we really are fucked.

        This behaviour is wrong despite the warped rationalisation s used to justify these acts. Logic, morality and some backbone are all lacking in modern Britain but desperately needed.

        It will do exactly that, the more of them that make that journey will undoubtedly sway opinion esp if a second ref is forced through..
