The BBC's Tom Pugh finds sadness and anger in Kent after at least 27 people drown in the Channel.

Mr Jones also believes France should take sterner action to clamp down on people smugglers.

Others on Biggin Street expressed surprise that vast numbers of people continue to make the dangerous crossing, when in previous years they have tended to tail off before the setting in of winter.Retired teacher Klara Nelson said the issue had to be sorted at "source" in the migrants' home countries "I have lived in Dover since 1975 and I recognise that the people coming over don't want to settle in this town. They want to go to London. I'm surprised there have not been more deaths up until now. It has got to be sorted, otherwise it will get worse."About 30 miles along the coast from Dover, sodden lifejackets and empty dinghies lay outside Dungeness RNLI station following reports of further landings by migrants on the day the 27 died.

The Bishop of Dover Dr Rose Hudson-Wilkin said: "I am feeling a deep, inner rage that the world continues to allow this to happen. Couched with political rhetoric as to whose fault it is. This is all our fault. We must all take responsibility."

Thursday briefing: Despair and blame after Channel deathsMacron urges Johnson not to politicise migrant crisis … three white men found guilty of Ahmaud Arbery murder … and is society falling apart? How is it even remotely possible to blame the UK for this tragedy? These unfortunate migrants didn't leave UK shores. How is it possible not to politicise the migrant crisis promoted by Merkel? It's a huge political problem. Does Macron demand everyone expresses denial about it? Humans. Yet it’s programmable. The whole reactiveness. Not completely. It’s different, between crying for the sunset and laughing for getting shot by a bullet or slaughtered slowly, Facing a normal death of anyone Is closer to sunset scene. It is pretty . It’s healthy . It’s.🥼

Newspaper headlines: 'Horror and despair' after 'tragedy in Channel'Thursday's papers report the deaths of 31 people making their way to the UK via the English Channel. The migrant will come from Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Afghanistan like locusts and swarm the British Isles and if unchecked will strangle the so called multicultural society to death. Most tragic part is the proliferation of money thirsty smugglers . It’ll be like a jazz mag for gammons. 😡 What a surprise this was a disaster waiting to happen. The BBC have been just like the British and French governments at sweeping this problem under the carpet. Laws need to be changed to stop these illegal crossings.
