Eight dead after attempting to cross Channel – as 801 people arrived in UK on small boats yesterday. It comes as French authorities rescued some 200 people off the coast of Calais over a 24-hour period between Friday and Saturday night.

1. Stop. The. Boats.

2. We should make a hotel closer, like a big boat mega hotel in the middle of the ocean.

3. drain the channel and build a wall

4. Maybe France should move the refugee centre away from the shortest crossing point…..
   Or maybe that’s why they put it there ….

5. 800 people a day for a year is 292,000 people. its a massive, massive issue

6. 801 that we know of.

7. 801 engineers, heart surgeons, painters and airline pilots. Brilliant news.
