Did you study logic at school?
-
No. I didn't have the benefit of British education. I'm an immigrant that grew up under a repressive regime. I know what it's like to want to escape to a "free open tolerant" country.
-
France then?
-
Correction: from 5th largest to 6th largest economy, soon to be 7th... they must not have paid attention to the economic forecasts! Maybe these souls believe the lying brextremists as well and think it will be a land of milk and honey post brexit!
-
UK fifth, France sixth, India seventh. UK economy not tied to Euro is doing quite well, France isn't going to overtake us any time soon.https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/04/the-worlds-biggest-economies-in-2018/ …

What about the thousands of homeless people and those forced to visit food banks? Is that as a result of crime too are or you ok with that since the people who caused it are rich Tories?
-
What is the point you are trying but miserably failing to make?
-
You are quick to judge 94 desperate people as criminals but see no issue with a government inflicting misery on its own people. The headlines over these 94 poor people was a distraction from the real issues in the UK.
-
No one knows if they were desperate is the point. Plenty make the trip who arent. Plenty make it who are. But we can't take every boatful or truckful. I wish we could help everyone in need. But we cant
-
How desperate you have to be to take such a massive risk trying to reach Dover by boat?
-
If they can afford to pay £3000 per person to get to the UK via the Channel illegally, they can afford to get to the UK via proper means legally.

Can’t believe there are so many stupid people out there sorry Julia but we need to be more compassionate people don’t risk there kids life without good reason why don’t we find out and then try to solve the problems!!!!

I’m a mother and if I had successfully escaped my dangerous homeland with my kids and got to France, I know I’d be so grateful to be safe I’d be going through whatever procedure necessary to be processed there. Not putting my kids back in another dinghy to try another country
-
We are not all the same and need to understand the reason that makes a mother or father do this.
-
I wish someone would. Go over to the Calais jungle and find a man or woman with children and ask why s/he isn’t settling in France. Why s/he is continuing the perilous journey longer than necessary. I’d love to know the answer

But who is selling them the boats? I haven’t seen any reports of migrants arriving at Calais with dinghies strapped to their backs. Logically, it has to be the French.

Yes on "sail or return"
