Odd Way Of Trying To Say...

...'illegal immigrant dies trying to enter the country illegally'. 

But it is the 'Guardian', I suppose.

The latest suspected tragedy emerged after 500 more migrants crossed the Channel during the day, taking the total so far this year to over 20,000 – more than double 2020’s 8,420 total.

The words 'tragedy' and 'migrants' grate on me. As does the naked appeal to emotion:

In the port of Dover, dozens of recent arrivals were brought to shore by RNLI lifeboats, reports claimed.

A young child holding a cuddly toy and wearing just one wellington boot was among the large numbers of people seen being brought ashore.

Awww, the poor mite! No, don't you dare question the parenting of those responsible for this journey, just give them a council house immediately! 

Amnesty International UK’s chief executive, Sacha Deshmukh, said: “We need to remember that these dangerous crossings are taking place because the government has provided no safe alternative for people to exercise their right to seek asylum here.

“If Priti Patel is truly concerned with tackling criminal gangs and their exploitation of people, she needs to set up safe asylum routes so people no longer need to depend on smugglers.”

That's like burglars getting together to form an organisation to claim that burglary has to take place because householders refuse to open their doors and give the burglars all their money...
