A French politician has blamed Britain for the death of a young Sudanese migrant found on a French beach.
Pierre-Henri Dumont said the death was caused by Britain's refusal to allow asylum claims to be made outside the UK.
He asked: "How many more tragedies does it need for the British to find an ounce of humanity?"
French citizenship minister Marlene Schiappa said on Twitter that a 16-year-old Sudanese migrant had died on the same day that dozens more migrants attempted the dangerous crossing to the UK. Aol.
Blogger: let us begin by making the huge assumption that this young man was not an economic migrant. As an asylum seeker, it was his legal duty to seek the nearest place to Sudan that was safe.
If he were genuine, he attempted to subvert accepted UK practices and clearly felt that the UK was the softest touch around.
By attempting to enter the UK ILLEGALLY, tragically, he paid with his life.
Just how do the French escape the largest proportion of blame in this awful situation, I wonder?
