Kos Chaos

[lynbrown]

The situation is too much for the island policemen. Is it time to send in the army? Or what other alternative is there?

The migrants were complaining that Kos was third world

"were migrants with higher ambitions...get us out of here"

[-Talbot-]

we're

I'm glad that I don't have to sort it out. It looks as if strong - very strong - measures are needed.

Just seen report on TV. One migrant was saying words to the effect 'If this is Europe, get me back to Syria'. OK. Greece has more than enough problems of its own, it doesn't need this lot.

Anyone remember how far back it was that we were saying that this was an invasion and we couldn't cope?

[jourdain2]

Sorry, to answer post - I don't know if there is an alternative to sending in their army. Kos is geared to holiday trade. Perhaps the UN troops could help? (Again, I don't know the niceties.) Greece has lots of islands, perhaps a small one could be used as a holding centre?

I feel so very sorry for Kos.

Could there be more thinking like him, then perhaps Kos as accidentally come up with an answer to the problem?

This is no more than was forecast (not necessarily for Kos for the pedantic) by a few of us on this site. We were of course labelled racists and little Englanders.

The right-on left seem to be very quiet now having caused all this mess.

The EU needs to start guarding it's boarders and sending people striaght back, not picking them up in ships a few yards out etc.

[ummmm]

How have the left caused this mess?

[mikey4444]

Ummmm...they haven't...the Usual Suspects are just trying to put all the blame in one area, the Left, just like they always do.

[mikey4444]

I feel even sorrier for the 100,000's that are fleeing for their very lives.

This is a humanitarian problem, and it needs a humanitarian solution.

So this has nothing to do with it Mikey?

[ummmm]

Oh...I thought maybe the left started a war in Syria or something.

I do feel for the police in places like Kos and Calais.

[mikey4444]

Danny.......I fail to see what that has to do with Kos in 2015.

As the next few years go by, till 2020, its going to be increasingly difficult to blame Labour for everything. dave and The Tories have been in power for over 5 years....why aren't they doing something about the situation in Kos now ?

[ummmm]

What can they do Mikey?

[dannyk13]

I would think because it is the responsibility of the Greek Government

[mikey4444]

Ummm...the British Police seem to be entirely surplus to requirements in Magaluf at the moment......perhaps dave can divert them to Kos to help out there ?
