If they weren't criminals before they came to Germany they have made themselves so now.
In a sensible,civilised country they should be returned from whence they came after a bit of hard labour to repay the damage.

[Samjenko]

Instant deportation.

[Gromit]

What the hell does any of that have to do with Branson?

[emmie]

not sure what it's got to do with Branson, however they should be returned to their entry point after making some reparation.

[Gromit]

Virgin does not have a mobile phone presence in Germany, which is dominated by T-Mobile E-Plus, Vodafone and O2.

In the UK, The Virgin Group own just 10% of Virgin Mobile.

[Samjenko]

Nice diversion, gromit.

[jackthehat]

There seemed to be several 'issues' which caused this outbreak of violence.
I'm not sure whether the lack of 'phone signal was top of their list or if it is just convenient for the newspapers to highlight that something so trivial causes refugees to create havoc and mayhem.......

However, having caused severe damage to the centre these asylum-seekers ought to be forced to make some sort of reparation.

Sam,
The question in the title is aimed at Richard Branson, for some unknown reason only AOG knows.

A handful of pi55ed Africans vandalised their rooms, not even in this country. Why does that matter to us? Why is it being brought to my attention, I don't give a toss.
If I have to comment on it, well they were wrong, and are naughty boys.

My first thought is what is so terrible that has kicked off in Ghana and Togo that gives consideration to an asylum application?

[Togo]

//The gang claimed phone signal was not available anywhere in the building and complained the camp was too hard to find as it was so secluded. And they added they were worried important mail - such as their asylum application - wouldn't arrive and that they wouldn't be able to contact family//

So lets get this right.... they are seeking asylum in Europe but insist on permanent contact with their families( at our expense of course). Now if they think so much of their loved ones why leave them in danger? Do you wonder if they need phone contact for other more nefarious reasons, perhaps criminal or illegal activities?

Blimey, haven't you got a sense of humour, it was a tongue in the cheek reference not a supposedly accurate reference.

Can't you see lack of phone signal, Richard Branson boss of Virgin Media a phone signal supplier, also a strong supporter of migrant issues.

It is such hard work with some of you.

[ummmm]

That's probably because you rarely show a sense of humour yourself, AOG!!

[Togo]

Sigh. ^^ More kettle... pot anyone?

[Gromit]

Not sure it is a story to be humourous about.

It might have been vaguely funny if Branson was still in phone business and was a provider in German. But neither is the case.

[Togo]

//It might have been vaguely funny if Branson was still in phone business and was a provider in German// sic.

No but he is an enthusiastic supporter of immigration into Europe and all things that sprout from Brussels........ all the way from his private Necker Island in the Caribbean. :))

The problem is that they are not asylum seekers they are economic migrant that will do anything to get their way including breaking any law they wish to.
What has it got to do with us? Well hopefully nothing provided we get out of the EU before Merkel gives them EU passports.

Moaning about the lack of a phone signal in their provided refugee centre, not a story to be humorous about???????????

Listening to these economic migrant's almost daily demands, makes one laugh one's 'back end' off, if it didn't they would drive one to tears.

[Gromit]

// Listening to these economic migrant's almost daily demands //

Don't listen. I don't.
Where are you listening to them?
Why not turn it off if it upsets you?

Branson is a businessman and he is in favour of cheap workers. He is not a leftie, he just wants to keep making lots of money.
