Personally, I find a huge lump of anti-immigration propaganda from extreme right wing 'Migration Watch' (unlinked of course) a pretty distasteful contribution to a discussion on the deaths by freezing of thirty two human beings - six of whom were women, by the way
Maybe I'm being over-sentimental !

"sick in the extreme" to use this tragedy to mount an attack on Brexit"
Brexit is a deliberately chosen policy to prevent or discourage immigrants to come to Britain - as with the unprecedented rise in racist incidents in Britain, the relevance to tragedies such as these and Britain's efforts to keep them out is fairly obvious

The European Union is a gathering of 28 States seeking to co-operate with each other for the benefit of all - nothing whatever to do with tragedies such as this unless the E.U. adopts a policy of preventing immigrants from entering Europe, of course
So far, that has not happened (fingers crossed)
