UK Home Secretary Priti Patel said the death of the young migrant was a "brutal reminder" that people smugglers exploit the vulnerable.

not once have i seen immigrants being classified as vermin. People get branded racists when they want the law applied to immigrants and now words are falsely being put in their mouths regarding vermin. That's what's disgusting

Oh please, you mustn't talk to many people then if you don't think people think of immigrants as lesser humans. It's an all too common attitude.

Just because you are ignorant to the fact that they have either directly or indirectly been referred to as 'swarms' 'infestations' or cockroaches does not mean it isn't true.
They have and by some very powerful and influential people, your indignation is misplaced.

...’vermin’ wasn’t used for point scoring in any way..it is how immigrants/asylum seekers have been described...both by Trump in the US and by Katie Hopkins in the U.K, describing families who have fled their war torn home countries to seek refuge and to seek future life..words carry great weight and have great power to influence and to dehumanise, sadly...and some media often support this in their reporting...

Pretty much, it's very transparent and grotesque. It's never been about traffickers, it's always been about stopping 'undesirables' and in this case, they can't blame immigrants so they try to mask what they want to say by focusing on traffickers.

Traffickers or not, desperate people will do desperate things for a chance of a life free of tyranny. Traffickers are vile exploitative creatures but people dying for a chance at a better life won't be solved by focusing on traffickers. If these people truly cared about asylum seekers, they'd shine more of a light on their plight.

The Pew Research Centre estimated that between 800,000 and 1.2 million unauthorised migrants were living in the UK in 2017 so one can imagine what it is now and the impact this has on housing, traffic, and our NHS

Really, the thing you worry about is HOUSING and TRAFFIC?
TRAFFIC? out of all the issues UK has currently? TRAFFIC.

Luckily Nigel has brought this to the attention of the nation, he should (and is) be applauded.

His new role as investigative journalist is flourishing

Boris Johnson has said that migrants crossing the Channel is a “very bad and stupid and dangerous and criminal thing to do” as he hinted at changing laws to address the situation.

Just heard on radion 2 that the drowned man had papers on him stating he was 28

not 16

we gave Sudan £52 million quid the other year to help with people leaving their home

maybe we should focus more on how that was spent

we do more than our bit

An unnecessary death born from a desperate act will always be tragic, regardless of the person's age.

arista stop downplaying your intelligence. I know you speak French and watch France24 all the time. You're more clever than only blaming France for this "issue".

......as the lyrics to a My Fair Lady song go...(..an Audrey movie, of course...)...I’ve grown accustomed to your face, wishing welcome each day and I can’t think of a better way to start a day.....

The crossings will only ramp up until January when we leave the EU and change our laws.
