This thread was supposed to be about the people that died, you said...That's a load of cobblers.

With respect Les, this tragic incident has caused a political row between the UK and the French, which we all knew was inevitable.

Are we not meant to discuss it now, as it may seem insensitive ?

The police have arrested over 1500 smugglers since January. What do you suggest they do about people getting in a boat. I get in boats. Should I be detained?

Hush now. Adults are discussing serious matters.

Of course, you can, I am?

Discuss away, I was just making a point about this thread to one poster who "hoped" it would be about the people that died.

Empathy wise.

That's why it was put here.

No apology neccessary. I still find the numbers the French are declaring as dubious.

Our government's and France's dealing with immigrants as they are now was entirely predictable and predicted, it is a direct result of the Conservative Party Policy, and Brexit, which is also Conservative Party Policy.

The Iraq War genuinely could not have been known about when people voted for Blair.

Why? Presumably when the French arrest people records are created?

Any particular reason why? Can these figures not be verified? I see HP with his fast fingers has got there first.

I mean your irony meter must be off the scale, Mr EFA. Very grown up.

So, that aside, would you care to point out the inane drivel.

Would be useful for you to partake in the debate rather than just firing pointless posts out

Oh and just to prove my point, I see a neg rep from you. How mature. The pos rep I had just after was a belter though 'that bloke is such a knob'. Bet you can't guess who he meant

Strange comment. How does pointing out that lots of our Leaders are schooled at Eton make anything unbalanced?

It's those same people that are pointing the blame for things at immigrants / foreigners / the EU / poor people.

How is that proof?

You’re allowed to counter rather than sulk and whine.
