Playing 'Devils Advocate' - why should they? They were here illegally to begin
with.

On another subject... I remember 'THE' night very well. I was in my office in Lancaster (15 mins from Morecambe Bay) that night (I was pulling an all nighter at the time) and was wondering what all the sirens, helicopters etc. were. I felt a shiver down my spine the next morning. Tragic.

really, so when they pick your onions for pennies they're OK, but when they need help they're illegel (sic!) immigrants and they deserve nothing?

It's a tough one, yes they were here illegally, but they were exploited and were/are the backbone of the food industry! Of course the government should help!

Well they knew they were risking everything so it shouldn't be their problem.

However there is a donation fund on the official website where you can pledge some money for the families. I think they've already raised £30,000 already and are hoping to donate £500,000

While I have great sympathy for the families of the deceased who are left with huge debts to pay off, I can fully understand why the British government have declined to stump up compensation.

What sort of precedent would they be setting if they made pay outs for those here illegally. Their duty of care extends only as far as the legal citizens of Great Britain. End of.

yeah i feel similarly, i dont think the govt has any sort of obligation or duty to pay off their debts,
but all the same it still seems pretty heartless and inhuman to do absolutely nothing.
they could appeal or put pressure on the chinese govt (futile though this may be) or better still use this an incentive to crack down and eliminate the gangs that extort these people in the first place.....or i dont know atleast bring awareness to the situation.

I hope the Brit cocklepickers are proud of themselves now, but then they'll probably never watch this film.
