Looks like they were just off Sangatte and the French coastguard managed to get to them but it looks like they were brought to Britain. If the French can do that, why aren’t they taking them and others back to France as soon as they set off? I blame the French for this tragedy.

The RNLI taxi didn't get there fast enough.

About 58 people were rescued by British and French coastguards, officials said.

The French will have landed the ones they rescued, in France.
And the British brought those that they rescued to UK.

By agreement they could have landed them in France. I guess they chose not to.

Yep French are responsible again

Although the usual suspects ( fruit cakes) will some how manage to blame the UK

You really should read some of that link...

British and French coastguards have rescued around 50 people from the vessel, authorities said.
A number of people were seen being brought off a lifeboat, some on stretchers, in Dover, but the extent of injuries and exact numbers remain unclear.
Ten people were taken to Dover and several more to Calais.
A passing ship first raised the alarm that an overloaded boat was in difficulty off the coast of Sangatte, near Calais in the early hours of Saturday, French authorities said.
When the French lifeboat arrived, they found numerous people in the sea with some screaming for help. The Dover lifeboat, which was already in the Channel dealing with another boat carrying migrants, joined the rescue operation.

It's not the fault of the RNLI, it's down to the coastguard.

Ditto, sold the yacht about 10 years ago but left the direct debit as it's always in my opinion been a worthy cause. Cancelled tonight.

 

[denso13]

it's down to the coastguard.

No, it's down to the Government.

 

[fillyboy]

No, it's down to the Government.

Let the charities funded by Soros take over, there's enough of 'em.

 

[denso13]

Cancelled tonight.

That really is a shame. Do you think, when the brave RNLI folks turn out to shout, they are even bothered about your direct debit?

Yea, let's blame someone else as always. Not our problem guv...

It's not my problem, so I'm not paying for it. You take up the shortfall in donations if you feel that strongly about it.

I'm not saying I blame the RNLI, they operate to a code, I'm just saying I ain't going to ******g pay for it.

No probs, you were happy before but now things have changed, in your eyes. They won't bother but will go out on every shout whether you donate or not.

Lives are precious.
