I Feel Sorry For The Italian People....

[trt]

but the problem is, where are they all going to go, as Some 44,222 asylum seekers have reached Italian shores this year, compared to 31,205 at the same time last year.

And their tourist trade is bound to suffer, like some of the other European holiday destinations.

So do I, but at the end of the day they are helpless unless they resort to extreme callousness. Thank God for the English Channel. What Italy should do is fast-forward them to Germany and let the fat Frau deal with it.

Although I don't like the insulting term used for Angela Merkel I agree with the sentiment.

Send them all to Germany. The last time I looked her party had just won an election MP from and area they hadn't won for ages which gives the impression the German people are happy to carry on with her, the party and policies she has.

If only Italy had something like the English Channel to stop them reaching their country :-(

[ummmm]

They'll have to come up with a solution one way or another. The levels are simply not sustainable.

[youngmafbog]

The solution is simple.

Stop acting as a taxi service to Europe. Fish them out the water by all means but transit them back to Africa where they came from. These are economic migrants and pretty much all men bar a couple of women and kids scenically used by the people traffickers to get European sympathy.

Once they realise they wont get to Europe but just be returned movements will all but cease.

[ummmm]

Yeah...but if they get rid of their paperwork, then what?

[douglas9401]

We need to build a wall, a great wall, it's gonna be so great and Africans are going to pay for it.

There are some baaad Kuntas coming here.

[Tilly2]

Good idea, Donald.

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm

/// Yeah...but if they get rid of their paperwork, then what? ///

If they have no 'paperwork' then why should we accept them without 'paperwork', if others won't?

[ummmm]

I don't think we should but where are they returned to?

[ToraToraTora]

The solution is simple, tow them back to Africa and destroy the boats, keep doing it, sorted.

I feel sorry for the whole of Europe.

[mikey4444]

Push them back into the sea...that will teach them !

[-Talbot-]

Teach them to what mikey?
Teach them to not make life even more difficult for Genuine refugees


That is what they are doing ... any thoughts on that?

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm

/// I don't think we should but where are they returned to? ///

Let them make their own choice after we drop them off on the continent they came from.

[-Talbot-]

No thoughts other than the usual look at me I'm not racist/xenophobic drivel then.

[youngmafbog]

You would expect otherwise Talbot?

[ummmm]

Again...where should they be returned to?

They land in a country and they don't speak the language. Send them where?

[naomi24]

If European ships stopped picking them up and stopped allowing the boats that do make it across the Med to dock, the question of where to send them back to wouldn't be our problem.

[mikey4444]

Let them all drown in the Med...that will teach them !
