Some thoughts from me on the loss of lives during Channel crossings mailplus.co.uk/edition/commen…
A couple of points
A couple of points
I've been very critical of the Mail in the past and probably will be again, but I wrote for Mail+ because I don't think we can just preach to the choir on this or any other issue. I think it's important to make this point to Mail+ readers, for instance. 
If it doesn't look like my writing style it's because my text was edited somewhat. But all the key points I wanted to make are there.
As for my suggestion of a compromise it's about what I think might be politically feasible - and what I suggest may well be naive anyway on that score. I would have no objection to a more far reaching approach if possible.
As to whether France should sign *anything*, I can see the argument that the UK chose to leave the EU, so deal with it. But to me "how to reduce deaths" is a bigger question than "who's at fault".
Yes, the UK government *could* ensure safe passage for everyone. But how likely is it to ensure safe passage for *anyone* without some kind of deal?
