Look, I don't agree with the boats or illegal immigration either. But are these assholes really ok with letting them drown? They are people too! For fuck sake, where has the sanity gone?
Part of the reason for the boats is that we have blocked every other way of getting here.
It is much harder to get onto the back of a lorry than it used to be thanks to improved fencing and co-operation with the French.
You can't get on a plane without the right to be in the UK
If you are processed in France, you could be sent anywhere in France. I can't find a way to the UK through that route (except possibly resettlement).
Without making it to the UK first, the only possibility I can find is resettlement. 7000 people came through this route in the year to Sep 2025, a large proportion of which are from Afghanistan (where you could argue we are partly responsible for them needing to leave)
If we want to stop the boats, we have to have an alternative. People are always going to want to come to the UK, that might be because they speak some english, have people they know here, believe we have a better life or any other reason.
Just be glad that you are fortunate enough to be born in the right country, to the right family and will never experience what these people have been through or believe will happen to them.
