Don't care if he's 16 or 28 he was an illegal. He took a risk to circumvent immigration protocols and lost his life.

So he was 28 and had claimed asylum in France. They stole the dinghy from a shop and the shovels from a beach hut. So they were asylum seekers in France and are thieves.
Why are the looney liberals blaming the UK Government? Can’t see any way this is our responsibility Have a go at the French for the way they treat “asylum seekers”. Of course the French know most want to get to the UK so they don’t give a s***

Good question it was widely reported in the media which suggests it was a single source e.g. multiple reporters from multiple outlets were given the same information.

Was it the French, The British? A charity?

As usual lazy journalism. they only know he wasn't 16 because the French police confirmed they found his passport.

One more point

I believe the one who survived claimed they were both 16

So the government are getting rid of Public Health England in the middle of a pandemic...

The national debt has gone up to two trillion...

And millions are about to be unemployed...

But forget about that. That orphan who just drowned in the sea. How old is he? That's the important question right now. Probably older than he said, the b******. Thank god he didn't reach the UK, or we really would've been screwed!

If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4
