[@turnip5359]

Yeah I've noticed that too, it's all done on purpose.

[@elegantrebel]

sorry but no parent can claim that the north of france is so dangerous that they had to illegally ship their kid across the English channel. Yeah the place where celebrities take their Skiing holidays is so dangerous you had to flee to the sea. We need to start prosecuting these people for risking their childrens lives, and stop acting like travelling from France to England is some kind of escape from persecution.

[@lesliewelch6551]

Did you not know, the Christians are persecuting them, they are fleeing to another Christian country to get persecuted, but will never leave, our government makes sure of that, they have to be smuggled out

[@techscrew2]

If the parents of these kids survived, then they need to be held accountable, they have effectively killed their own children. The dangers are well known, putting your child at risk like that is pure evil.

This is the fault of the French Police sitting on their backsides doing nothing until it is too late. The Smuggler's have got sticks and the police have got guns. No contest. Asylum seekers are supposed to stay in the first country they enter by EU Law. So what are Spain, Italy, Greece and France playing at. The UK should be taking them to court.
