This is some dystopian lord of the flies hell. Those poor women. Burned on the boat. Wth. Poor man stabbed to death. Why are the people that did this then going to be roaming free in the UK? Why are they allowed to enter the UK in the first place? Why are gangs not being 'smashed'?

Why won't the government tell us the truth about their crime rates?

Channel chaos as migrant dies, two women burned and one stabbed on same boat

Forty-five of those on board continued towards the UK and were picked up by a British rescue vessel.

Oh I'm sure some posters will gather to support you soon @CoventryCity . I don't think "deeply concerned" is the sentiment I'd attribute to this.

From reading these types of threads they are attracting ludicrous amounts of bot comments added to rage bait.

This is one for discussing with people in person. I can honestly say I don’t know anyone who doesn’t feel a varying degree of sympathy for refugees while at the same time feel a varying degree of concern for what is happening on the ground.

I suspect that only bots staunchly come down on one side or the other, most humans are capable of holding opposing views together and having opinions about what needs to be done going forward.

Valid to be concerned. Though it you voted for Brexit, or did not take part, you have contributed to the problem.

…yet another thread about migrant crime rates, that’s 3 in 3 days. Almost like a concerted campaign…..

OP the views you are after are all on the other thread (the first was deleted). Nothing new will come from this one, so suggest you stick with that.

Weak governments from Blair onwards

to add - will make me vote Restore or Reform regardless of the idiots running these parties - it's a last hope of someone doing something
