Both countries are sick of dealing with refugees and have been for quite some time, I suspect, and so you get this sort of fuckery.

Easily preventable by either nation

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 93%. (I'm a bot)

So sad.

This is going to get worse and worse until countries like Italy, the UK, France and Greece decide the public backlash is worth it and take a very hard stance.

Kind of like what the Aussies do

Probably a lot nastier than that tbh, Australia is protected by a LOT of ocean, Western Europe is pretty damned close to bits of North Africa.

Why did they swim in this boat to GB at first place? EU is very humanitarian but we can't spend billions of euros to stop suiciders... Why risk life to live in GB instead of France? Earnings in both countries are very comparable.
