Channel deaths | Four confirmed dead after migrant boat tragically capsizes (p 41)

[MadchesterCity]

The answer is most don't....

Why do migrants leave France and try to cross the English Channel?​

Many migrants already choose to make an asylum claim in the first country they arrive in - such as Greece, Turkey or Italy - and only a minority choose to travel on to the UK.
In 2021, Germany had the highest number of asylum applicants in the EU and associated countries (134,255 applicants), while France had 119,945 applicants.
In the same period, the UK received the fifth largest number of applicants (43,665) when compared with the EU and associated countries (around 8% of the total).
This represents the 18th largest intake when measured per head of population, according to UN's refugee agency.

How many migrants travel to the UK in total?​

Italy doing a great job controlling the intake, is it due to language?

In the Daily Mail, even comments like RIP are receiving vast numbers of downvotes: people are sick, really sick.

Why the fuck people want to sneak into this country baffles me.

We're the dearest in everything, the government are a bunch of thieving/lying twats, it's full of reality tv/social media cunts, what on earth do people see in the UK!

I'd be gone from this country in a heartbeat if I had the bread to do it.

Plus the god awful weather

The language is a big draw apparently as a lot of them learn English and dare I say it they maybe think they get a better deal? No idea what happens in other countries tbh.
im with you about leaving though, a nice beach in Hawaii or mountain home in Canada for me please.
