Stop calling them perilous crossings. They choose to make the journey on a mission to reach the promised land where everything is free. But not for British people who have to pay their way.
And, where they can get ready to amass a huge Army of hundreds and thousands of them to start what they have been wanting to do for hundreds of years, after the Genocide of the sacking of Jerusalem etc. This hatred has been kept going in the hearts of each era of babies being born, and has never been allowed to be forgotten. The future for the British people, could be at Great risk, if our Government, and our Allies do not sort something out , before it becomes too late .😮😢😮😢😮😢😮😢😮😢

It's literally a perilous crossing
@@phyllisbennett9950 we need to choose our "allies" a little more wisely. The current ones hate us.
Why is NO British media saying “these deaths wouldn’t have occurred if they’d stayed in France or ANY of the SAFE European countries they travelled through to get to UK ?!?!
Here's the thing, many of their country of origins are also safe
@@kitoharveywill5766 Correct' they are not fleeing anything' they are bringing it with them
The majority of asylum seekers leaving the middle east and Africa remain in mainland Europe, those that chose to enter the UK do so due to existing connections like family and friends, or because they only speak a bit of English on top of their native tongue.
Isn't it just
because that's common sense and this lot have no sense and no backbone
Getting out of war-torn France is so hard .
Stay home leave the hardworking english alone
I am having a large doner kebab for dinner
Its cold today think i will have a full english breakfast
I was in France for a week and couldn’t wait to come back to UK..awful place and people..no wonder these guys can’t wait to get out
@@senanur1983these people are the reason it’s awful
BBC showing this am the French police standing bye while migrants get on a boat. No attempt to stop the boat.
The French police have been doing that for the last 5 years watching the migrants just getting the boats over half a billion pounds have been spent on the French show all the French police just to wave the migrants as they leave France just a big joke with the UK government spending taxpayers money for pointless things
and we paid them millions to stop them crossing
Its all bullshit wake up
UN immigration pact
@@sunshinechild-sv9kccorrection "We pay them millions"
Anybody who has ever said "refugees are welcome here" are guilty of this terrible preventable accident.
TRUE refugees are welcome ,theres no war in France or Albania or even Ukraine
@@mcfcguvnors If they are adult ,able bodied ,Muslim men then they are guilty of the sin of fleeing the battle ,according to the law of Islam..
@williamheywood9115 not if the battle is here
Why is it terrible?
Anyone who contributed to their displacement is guilty as well
Stop the effing boats then !!!!
no one forced them to cross.
Refugee Crisis is the result of decades of western wars of aggression in the Middle East. Why doesn’t Britain take responsibility for its own foreign policy mistakes?
Nobody said they were forced
The French Police helped though..!
Wrong: Their countries "forced" them ....life/society "forced" them .....desperate actions!!!!
@@crappymealthe point is they took a huge risk to illegally enter another country. From a totally safe country because they know we will give them something for nothing. When we stop being so braindead with these policies, they will stop coming.
Should have stayed in France.
whats wrong with france
@@ravd8082nothing. They are acting very irrationally.
@@ravd8082 they don’t pay benefits and give free housing, food, clothes, phones, bikes, scooters. The list is not exhaustive.
@@twistedsister2568 yes they do they come here bcos theyknow they get more and its easy
Exactly right, while our people can’t get houses they get them fully furnished, and the benefits that they have never worked for,💯
Well that's their own bloody fault then. Stop them coming and crowding up our island.
Well it's not that young girl who died's fault, is it?
If they had STAYED in the SAFE country of France they would be alive. They chose to break the law.
But but but,they won't get red carpet treatment in France,if millions of Brits could get what they're denied in their own country and another country was prepared to hand out special treatment to them,they would do the same, nowhere for the Brits to go as they're steadily pushed out and marginalised by their replacements😢😢
Well I mean, who would want to be french 🥖 lesser of two evils, french or death.
Yep.zero sympathy
Not our problem.
It becomes our problem when Border Farce and RNLI ferry them to this country.
@@bassetdad437 Why would they ferry dead illegals here?
Simple answer stop trying to come to our country
Yep bring back the real England
Have to admit why on earth would anyone want to go to the UK anyway with its failing health care and prefer to scrounge benefits than work.
@@pancakesociety743 Too late mate ?
@@Optikification BINGO, the benefits in the EU is much better from what I hear ?
@@Optikificationbecause people who complain about these issues have no conception of the true struggles these people face. People always focus on the negatives, but the UK is still objectively a good place to live compared to 90% of the world.
FRANCE IS A SAFE PLACE ! FFS.
And the 11 countries they pass through
It was until hordes of invaders set up shop there waiting to come here...
As are their own countries now they’ve left.
They don’t get given a fuckload of stuff for free in France
Greece is safe. The Balkans are safe , Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden are all safe (well other than where the migrants are). But thats not what these people are paying £9000 to £12000 for. They want to come to a tiny, heavily in debt, no room for more houses Country instead.
I care as much for them as they do me
101%
My thoughts too
EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION AT PLAY IN THIS NEWS 😡
Probably trying to rile people up about them trying to cross, they can't possibly be so out of touch to think people are sad about this.
Agreed, the comments are usually turned off when reporting of ills crossing the channel
Emotional blackmail 👉🇬🇧
I blame the Governments for not stopping boats in the first place
Pay France more money
@crappymeal after leaving EU Britain pays even more money than was part of EU. Niger Fromage should be jailed for life
@@crappymealshouldn't have to pay anything.
Who cares,they done it to themselves.
They are still people

Yeah yeah whatever who cares. More importantly any news on that cat that was rescued from Dubais floodwaters, I hope its doing well.
That cat is English👍

So what ?
@@Lord-Dexaso why are they risking their lives to leave it!? Not rocket science
So are the 20 countries passed through to get to France 🇫🇷 🤔
@@GIBBO4182I have a friend in France she said they don't get anywhere the benefits we give them that's why they come to us.
@@Lord-Dexa So they don’t have the right to shop around. Maybe they should go create their own first worlds.
Stop the boats as no one cares!!! Happy St George’s
Such awful news on St. George's Day. The country has lost more surgeons and architects.
All those great minds and generous giving souls - lost! Oh, dear. So sad. Never mind.

This is not our news …it’s the French news😡🇬🇧
The channel crossing doing more than our own government.
Why is this breaking news? Nothing more than emotional manipulation of viewers and the narrative. Blame the people smugglers.
‘Hugely resonant’ apparently. But we know what they’re really doing. 👀
Always give, always when Rwanda is mentioned. Like clockwork… Look it up.
Aye, I'm emotionally drained from cheering!
@@monkeynova2012😂👍
It's breaking news because trafficker's like RNLI normally succeed.
I wonder if the french will push the bodies into british waters or will they take them back...
worst thing is i can fully imagine this, too many times have i seen paperwork saving activities
Well the French do like to fish in our waters
@@rickygray448 🤣🤣🤣
LOL
Naa, the French will bury them, and send us the bill! 😂
Kay Burley the reason sky losing viewers
What viewers?
I'm not so sure: I've seen her channel her inner Paxman before, give a hard time to those who deserve it.
She partied during lockdown and still has a job..double standards
@@carlkamutinot to many people want to listen to biased left wing fanatics .
If she leaned any further to the left, she'd fall over.
Of course France won’t stop them cuz they are happy for them to leave their country…but I don’t understand why UK are paying France so much money to stop the boats when they do exactly the opposite…it would be better to give that money to the British people that are struggling to have a warm meal.
It’s called money laundering
They're paying them to escort them safely across the channel
easy France believes more money the UK gives them the more migrants we buy
or tell the British people who cant afford a warm meal to get a job and stop sponging off the state. No reason at all for people to live in poverty. Same as Doctors and nurses striking because they cant live on their wage lol when they get 2-3 times more than me and yet I have a comfortable life. Maybe they are living above their own standards.
The French police spent the money on comfortable driving shoes apparently!
Happy Saint George's Day 😃
Nobody asked them to invade the UK.
Stop the French fishing in British waters and the small boats will stop.
The responsibility is on the people who are breaking the law . The UK is not responsible our only crime is making it worth their while crossing . Stop feeding and housing them stop giving them money if it isn’t worth coming they will stop
What about are own citizens? Which English hospital has most deaths outside in ambulances? Second rate actors pretending to be journalists #MHLivingHell 💔 💔 💔
If the news presenter can see them leaving France why can’t the French Authorities???????? They point them in the direction of the UK so the French are complicit in the death of these people.
Because they have a deal with the home office. And it's them that are the real traffickers.
The French are waving them goodbye!!
Let me get out the world's smallest violin.
Leave them there as warning
The lawyers and landlords who profit from this must accept some of the blame.
Good They can feed the fish That’ll be more use than them coming here and feeding off of our stupidity
Not our problem. People often CHOOSE getting into dangerous situations.
Correct. Not our problem, they risked their lives, end of. So 100 or so on this boat, that's another 100 unwanted scroungers, until the next 100, then the next lot, and on it goes. WTF, when is this sh*t going to be stopped once and for all? 😡😡😡
the phrase,play stupid games win stupid prizes was made for this situation.
What idiot decided to put them in Hotels for free?
We are paying France millions of Pounds to stop these from getting on boats, but they actually help them on to them
Same as RNLI and Border Force aka Border FARCE, who are assisting criminals into the country. they too are and should be held accountable. If a genuine truck driver has a nest of them hiding in their trucks, he and the company are held accountable and fined etc. Seems like its one rule for one and one for another, sums up the corruption from the jokers in government
Soft UK and France both to blame
France more so they take millions of pounds from us to stop the illegal immigrants and do sod all to stop them , and then we has a stupid bloody government who keeps giving France more tax payers money,
Can't blame France as why on earth should they try to force these people to stay. I was thinking of opening a boat shop in Calais.
@@OptikificationBecause we pay them hundreds of millions to stop the boats, so yes, we can blame france
France is responsible take them to court
Yeah ! we need to be tougher and Open our borders !
Broke my heart when I heard this story as there were 4 empty seats

Im howling at this comment 😂
@@markbellew4194 I nicked it off Bernard Manning who used it in a different context
This really is not our problem. If someone is crossing the street to break into my house, and get knocked down and killed. what?
culture isn’t defined by ethnicity, and your entire argument is humza shouldn’t be prime minister because he isn’t white, which is extremely racist, “ muh heritage “ is irrelevant “
Your entire argument was that he shouldn’t lead Scotland because of his ethnicity, when ethnicity is completely irrelevant, “ muh heritage” is irrelevant

@@Mayan_88694 it's more relevant that nationality is. Heritage and culture is relevant to every country.
@@adamcraig1468 no it isn’t, nationality is what matters. Humza is Scottish, your denial doesn’t change that.
I have compassion fatigue and our government is entirely responsible for failing to 'mitigate' the 'pull factor'. We all know that this illegal flood is in fact an officially sanctioned business which mightily enriches the government's mates at Serco.
Probably one of the few intelligent comments.
That is true, people have made small fortunes off the hotel contracts given to the Tories mates
@sheenasmith6634 So the government is complicit in Human Rights violations by encouraging illegal immigrants to board unsafe vessels with potentially fatal results while at the same time knowingly enriching both their friends and violent organised crime networks. Perhaps someone should bring a case under the Human Rights legislation to test this? The relatives of the victims should be compensated?
I thought there were laws preventing human waste being pumped into the channel.
🤣
This proves that those people willingly risk their lives to attempt the crossing. Knowing that, it's hard to believe that a small chance of being sent to Rwanda will stop any of them.
Rwanda isn't meant to be a deterrent.
@@TallSilentGuy Then what is it meant to be? And why do tory MPs say it is?
@@flemlion13 Rwanda is merely an exchange program. For every young fit immigrant we send to Rwanda we will get one of Rwanda's most vulnerable in return. Thats the deal....
@@TallSilentGuy its not an immigration reducing exercise either, for every person we send we get one of their most vulnerable in return.
That's an insane deal !
Instead of giving france money to stop the boats why dont we give the Navy money to stop the boats
I just love how Sly News keeps using the word tragic...... the tragedy is that there should have been a few more on the boat as it wasn't full.
^^^^ comment up there made me laff " Im Heartbroken at this news .........There were 4 empty seats "
Close all Eu borders now.
The UK is not a member of the EU and is not in Shengen Area.The only open border the UK shares with an EU member state is Ireland under the Common Travel Area.
Or just close our own, we are an island ffs.
DId they come from France (Yes). Why did the French authorities not stop them (we all know). WIll anyone be held accountable (of course not).
Don't incentivise them coming here then, and this wouldn't happen.
No Sympathy, at all.
If someone dies trying to break and enter your house.
Not even that. Crossing the road to break into your house lol
@@adamcraig1468 Crossing The Sea to get to the Road . OH WAIT.
What’s the difference from staying in France and going to England I wonder 💭?
France has better food and weather.
France also has better benefits. It must be the language or they know that they will languish for years before their claim is looked at.
@@pallascat1743 France doesn’t give them better benefits, it’s a tent a free meals. Till they get accepted into the system.
Problem with france is its full of the french
Unfortunately, the UK is the only place in the European continent where we don't have ID cards - they probably speak a minute amount of English and can disappear...
Doing illegal things is risky after all. France is safe.
Sorry for the loss of life but France is a safe place. What are they escaping from ?
FRANCE IS NOT AT WAR!!!
Could have done with these smugglers May 1940, they’d have had those beaches evacuated in an hour.
No enquiry please these people have nothing to do with us
STOP THE BOATS
They've no one to blame, but themselves...
Why would the british taxpayer care when our own are struggling and our taxpayers money keeping them in hotels here in the uk????? Words of pur own prime minister in his rwanda speech. The non sensibility looking for compassion from the british people who are being robbed of services in our own country.
and its the tories who have robbed us
That’s saves the British tax payer a couple of quid.
Heartbreaking? Definitely NOT!!!!!
Another avoidable tragedy.
not a tragedy justice
LMFAO
@@DestroytheEUSSR Why, stay in France and be safe and then no need for any comments as the even wouldn't have occurred in the first place.
The French is only to blame
Yes. They too were colonists.
No ,they are adults and take illegal and personal decisions so they are the only responsible,bunch of hypocrites.
@@StarSprangledBanner so why would a poor war torn country train up doctors to send here to save our NHS? Not really paying them back is it?
Anybody who has ever said "refugees are welcome here" are guilty.
@@StarSprangledBannerwhat does that mean?
Whilst the French government keep supplying boats to these people nothing will change.
I mean we all all seen in the ITV news report the French police couldn’t care any less and just let’s then go and escorts them back to the camps.
Never mind Stop the boats , STOP THE BENEFITS
Who’s bothered?.
On a recent train trip I saw at least 30 blond brunette women with non white men, not one white man, well some with Chinese or Thai, just saying get the feeling your woman is bothered,..they obviously want more of these men
My heart bleeds for them,there only option was to leave the horrendous war torn battlefields of France and make it to England. Maybe a native white English family might be able to get a council house now or a doctor’s appointment now
Oh well. Stay home.
Just means less potential victims over here.
Don't tell us, tell people who live in migrants camps in calais! Keep them informed not us, we won't cross the channel. Their lives are in danger not ours.
Less for us to house and feed
No sympathy what so ever they left a few safe contries

Oh dear rnli will be upset...
Ha, they were shaking their tins in Tesco the other day. I think I must've been the 1 millionth customer who told them why and where to stick their tin!
It's the French that's at fault they are allowing them to get on to the boats in the first place.
Come on, why would France NOT want them to leave?
One has to be grateful for small mercies.
Sky News normally only ever publish Bad News stories, what’s changed today, Happy St George’s day everyone…🏴
🗿🇸🇯🏴
Governments are 100% to blame for not turning around the boats an returning people to the point of origin.
Should have stayed in Europe
Should have stayed where they came from.
Should have stayed in sandland.
Britain is Europe, learn your geography. 🙄
desperate to make us feel guilty. whereas this is all due to French facilitating the crossings.
Rookies numbers, not good enough and the channel must up these figures to protect the UK
I don't know why these people think anything will stop them. They should get some police dogs on those beaches ,they'd love a walk.
How come they don't say the word dead.
Its must be such a struggle leaving an unsecured, poor, war stricken country like france. No sympathy.
And nothing of value was lost.
What about the boat?
@@GIBBO4182salvage rights!
The French should have stopped them getting into the water that would have saved their lives. After all that is what Britain pays the French authorities millions of pounds to prevent illegal migrants from attempting the dangerous crossing and tragedies like this from happening.
Shame, go home
They refer to this as an accident. An accident is an unavoidable event surely. The crossing was a deliberate act.
This is an absolute tragedy and a terrible loss. Apparently it was a really nice boat ⛵
No one comes over then no one dies. Simples.
Stay put then simple. I have no sympathy with this sh*t show... Stop the boats it's simple
Sunaks fault, should have pulled out of ECHR!
If i done something illegal, I'll be put in a cage for 23hr a day. I wouldn't get a 5* hotel bus & train pass, bicycle, SIA licence, Money, & diplomatic style immunity. It is bloody crazy & it NEEDS TO STOP NOW!!!!!!
