Channel Deaths Fuel UK-France Tensions Over Migrant Boats

Posted on the 26 November 2021 by Sandeep Malik

The deaths of at least 27 people in the English Channel is fueling pressures between the UK and France over how to stop settlers from crossing the world’s busiest raceway in small boats. 

 Despite a pledge from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron that they would” do everything possible”to stop people bootleggers from venturing lives, politicians on both sides of the channel are formerly condemning their counterparts for failing to help Wednesday’s tragedy. 

UK officers denounce France for rejecting their offer of British police and border officers to conduct common details along the channel seacoast with French police. 

 French authorities say Britain is supersizing the extremity because it’s too easy for settlers to remain in the country and work if they manage to cross the channel. 

Amid the cutlet pointing, British lawgivers on Thursday will debate the soaring number of settlers who are crossing the channel in small boats. 

 Macron is listed to bandy the issue with European Union officers. 

Meanwhile, settlers are continuing to defy frigid rainfall in small boats. 

“This tragedy was fully predictable, indeed it was prognosticated and it was fully preventable,”Zoe Gardner, of the Joint Council of Welfare for Emigrants, told the BBC. 

“This has to be a time for our government to mark a turning point.” 

“We need to offer people druthers to the smuggling boats.”
