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!!

Do NOT call me ignorant again.
Do NOT call me deluded again.
I have never once felt the need to hit the ‘report’ button on AB, but you are really testing my patience.

You are showing your immaturity, and communicating with you has become like wading through treacle.
If we were in ‘the real world’ I wouldn’t have put that quite so politely!
I’ll leave you to your opinion, which is obviously the right one, and if we are in opposite corners on future threads, I hope you will have become a little more adult so that we can move on from you jabbing the air with a pointy finger.

I see the Peace Lily is in full bloom today. I only wish that when I was in gainful employment I had a job like his which enables him to spend the entire working day on AB.

Where is this "military conflict", Spathiphyllum?

Never mind the military conflict... where's the kids or women?

Precisely, Talbot. Genuine refugees don't abandon their wives and children.

[Baldric]

You seriously think those Refugees would put Women and Children first?

[hereIam]

You beat me to that question Baldric ...

[maggiebee]

Haven't read every response but from those I have it would seem that folk on here don't really give a sh** about what happens to these migrants.

Ah, the Libyan civil war. Forgotten about that one, Spathiphyllum. So these are "desperate" Libyans escaping the horrors of civil war.

Spot the Libyan/pregnant woman/unaccompanied minor in this picture:

OK, there's only six of the refugees in that shot. Here's another one:

I don't wish them any harm, what I don't want to see is them rockin' up here and putting even greater strain on our seriously overstretched resources.
A Refugee seeks sanctuary in the first safe country.
And does not travel half-way around the Globe to the Country of their choice.
