I've just decided that now we've reached the stage of acceptable discourse being 'let's shoot some poor people and let them drown', all you can do is try and make a joke of it. And drink, and cry when you see where this is all leading, but mainly laugh, because otherwise you'll end up wanting to jump on one of these boats yourself. I wander if these people smugglers do return tickets? Do I have to wear a mask on the dinghy, and will they guarantee the appropriate 1m social distancing for passengers? If not I'm giving them bad feedback on tripadvisor.

See. Hahaha. Funny. They're dying in the sea and we could save them, how funny, hahahahaha. But don't worry, they aren't refugees, those people whose lungs are filling with water, they were economic migrants, so it's ok. Let them drown. Hahahaha.

You have to see the irony of the situation, we voted to leave europe to get away from the french and the rest, and the laws, we wanted and have got freedom, now we expect the pesky french to do us a favour by keeping hold of hundreds of people every week, house them, feed them, treat them when they get sick etc, why the fcuk would they? If the roles were reversed, and we had hundreds of illegals coming in from wherever, and they only wanted to head to dover and over to france, do you think anybody would try and stop them? The general public around dover would be crowdfunding to buy dingys and leaving them on the beach!The french have got us over a barrel and it"s going to cost us plenty of euros to get them to even pretend to give a fcuk- the irony!

Yes, i totally agree spider, my point is why would the french want to hold on to them if they could turn the other cheek and "miss" them on the beach, it"s a bit like having travellers parked up on your local common, caravans and crap everywhere, them saying fcuk you, this place is crap, we"re moving to the next county, and you saying"you"re going nowhere", it wouldn"t happen, and i don"t blame the french for doing fcuk all, we would do the same, doesn"t make it right though but that"s life!Until we come up with a serious amount of money they won"t see any departing migrants!

Totally agree with you... Any 'receiprical', agreements we had with the French are surely gone now, if they can kick the 'issue', across the channel, they will certainly do this with gusto. As you say we'd do the same.

Indeed!
