So, they won't be a ltoblem much longer ? That's rather good of them.

[Old_Geezer]

PROBLEM !

‘Interior Minister Matteo Salvini tweeted the migrants could do what they liked’

Why can’t our politicians show such chutzpah?

Lol, one comment on the article 6,848 red arrows.

I'll have to wrestle with my conscience now when I eat my burger later.

Perhaps if I leave off the cheese it'll assuage my guilt somewhat.

[webbo3]

lol, Nah, leave the cheese on but remove the pickle.

[Kathyan]

The guy that's commented is an idiot. He regularly posts and always gets red arrowed, a lot!

[Baldric]

They don't want to eat, fine, their problem no-one elses.

[Kathyan]

"not my monkey not my problem" as the saying goes...

Their choice.

In all the photos, of mainly fit and healthy looking young men, I see no signs to indicate that "... they suffered months and even years of inhumane treatment in detention in Libya while waiting to leave that lawless country aboard smugglers' boats."

[naomi24]

They're probably all highly educated professionals too - you know, just the sort that would be an asset to any European country.

[sanmac]

And I bet that during their time in that "lawless country" they became well educated in lawlessness.

[Jackdaw33]

I thought that they were en route to Spain, or is this a different ship?

[naomi24]

JD. I think you're talking about the ship that Italy refused a few weeks ago. That one off-loaded its passengers in Spain.

[cassa333]

Why doesn’t the boat just turn round and take them back?
