we used to holiday on these beaches when I was growing up, within walking distance of Berck, so this hits me a bit. Also the mother and children bit, and their clothes getting all soaked ... #refugees #CoteDOpale

It's not about getting soaked, it's about risking their lives...

@appassionato I realise that, but as a natural optimist I would in the situation be able to ignore the risk of death.
