Whilst the death of two migrant children trying to cross the Channel is a tragedy, let’s lay the blame where it should be - firstly with their parents, then the smuggling gangs and the French.
It is not us, the British, that are to blame.
If the migrants were such a big issue then the French government should have the police, army and navy swarming all over the beaches and stopping anybody getting into boats.
As it stands the French are quite happy to do or appear to do the very minimum, as once they are in the water then it is no longer their problem and they can blame us.
All the migrants on the French beaches have travelled hundreds if not thousands of miles across France and other European countries and nobody has done anything to help or stop them and yet Britain is to blame!
