Colin Montgomery , Daniel Fenton , Federico Moscogiuri , Alwyn Jones and Martin Coult on small boats, deaths in the Channel and the passing of the safety of Rwanda bill Daniel Boffeys account of those desperate souls attempting to cross the Channel where five people drowned this week was one of the most powerful pieces of journalism Ive read for a long time (). That it was published on the same day as Rafael Behrs equally incisive take on the matter (), as viewed through the prism of domestic politics and attitudes towards immigration here in the UK, nbsp;seemed all too fitting. These two articles are two sides of the same coin yet worlds apart, reflecting a toxic duality that seems to be the defining characteristic of this issue both for those who seek to come here and for those in their prospective new home. Hope and horror coexist intertwined yet strangers to each other. Ditto pragmatism and principle, feelings and facts, hate and humanity.
