Migrants Stranded At Sea

[-SharonA-]

Italy is refusing to allow a boat with over 600 migrants to dock at it's ports. https://news.sky.com/story/italy-shuts-ports-to-rescue-ship-carrying-over-600-migrants-11401125. Good on Italy. I bet you ask those migrants where they're aiming for, I bet they say England!!

///instead of breading one/// an' All i can do is Lol

[Bigbad]

Crushed. Probably not.
Beaten to a pulp in the fight to get to the hand-outs first, quite possibly.

Haha Baldric another "crumby" theory from Spat. (^_*)

You people are so afraid of everything, man up a bit.

[Bigbad]

And some people are such hand wringing, fluffy bunny idealists, that they can’t see what could happen. Grow up a bit.

[kvalidir]

Are you actually talking to me Spath? I'm not the one pooing myself in abject terror in case someone not from our country comes to live next door, it's this pack of crazies, and my post was addressed to BigBad not you.

[kvalidir]

I'm perfectly grown up and able to handle myself thanks bigbad, try it yourself sometime.

[Bigbad]

Handling yourself appears to mean throwing insults at those who have a different opinion to you.
Very adult!
You obviously don’t want to address the points I raised, but choose to see it as being bothered by about who I live next door to.
Fine, you keep your head in the sand and we’ll see in a few years time whether the country has turned into a migrant riddled, penniless *** pit.
Meet you back here then!

And spathiphyllum, there is a world of difference between a doctor and a freeloader arriving on a boat with their hand out!

There is also plenty of space in Africa, perhaps they should take some, instead of depending on other continents whilst making theirs less populated?

/// It would depend on the size of the individual country. ///

But then it is not about persons per square acre, it is all about resources and infrastructure and ours are already stretched to the limit.

[Zacs-Master]

Africa is where they've come from AOG. Have you asked yourself why they don't migrate to other African countries? After all it would be less risky than a boat crossing.

It is not all that"far fetched", it happened during WW2, when the Billeting Officer knocked at your door, demanding that one took in evacuees, wounded convalescing soldiers etc.

Look at the 65% unemployment figures for Muslim women and 35% for Muslim men. That's a lot of benefits. Not all are doctors nurses and engineers and who pays for them?

Or leave just him bobbing about in the sea, it's not our problem.

spathiphyllum, so you think europe should relocate it poor it's diseased it's uneducated to europe, would that include its rapists murderers jihadists, so take away resources from the native population
and redistribute it to the migrants i mention above, also let's change the whole demographics of europe ie replace it, with africas continual poor, i wonder is there a cut off point to your utopia for africas poor.

spathiphyllum.
More likely to become a taxi driver or a pizza delivery person.
Help him and train him. And who will foot the bill?

“Poke him with a stick until he gets so irritate he lashes out then blame his religion and people for it.”
If he wasn’t allowed in, there would be no ‘stick poking’ (and I don’t know who is doing that), and what form would this “lashing out” take? Violence? Robbery? Rape? Poor little love.

Thanks for the info. AOG.
I know I’ve seen it happen in a drama, but have always thought it could happen if we become too overloaded.
