Harrowing scenes as the Greek police combat illegal migrants on their way to Northern Europe.

Terrible those poor mothers and babies

[sanmac]

Those 'poor' mothers planned deliberately to put themselves and their babies in harm's way. By the way, not of that mob look to to be 'poor' to me.

[Mamyalynne]

If I had answers to problems like this I wouldn't be sat here now - dreadful scenes as you say.

[dannyk13]

Innocent children should never be expose to this treatment.

[sanmac]

Unfortunately, Dannyk, their parents do not agree with you.

[NellieMay]

Poor children - being exposed to all this by parents. Not poor parents. Poor Greeks!

[Khandro]

They are illegal migrants, as it says. What is more they know they are illegal migrants and they should not be led to believe by the people-smugglers (a multi-billion pound industry) that they can gain access to Europe.
One major problem is that the police and army along the chain before they get to Greece, are all on the take as well.
Spare some sympathy for the Greeks as well.

[ummmm]

I'm mixed emotion on this subject. I feel for the immigrants but I also feel for the countries who can't afford to take them.

[EDDIE51]

I don't know the answer. But the problem is that Greece has a long land border with Albania ,by FAR the poorest nation in Europe ! Greece is a wealthy wonderland by comparison to Albania !

[retrocop]

Ask Frau Merkel the answer . She initiated the steam roller. Let her clear the mess she has created for the rest of Europe..

[naomi24]

Poor Greece - poor Europe - and poor children. I agree with others here. Their parents should be ashamed of themselves.

"What Is The Answer?"

One thing; It's no use The Daily Mail showing these pictures to us - there's nothing we can do. They should been seen and distributed in the places from where these unfortunate people originate, and perhaps it would prevent more from setting out in the first place.

“…Albania ,by FAR the poorest nation in Europe !”

Indeed. And one of the five official candidate nations for EU membership. Those believing remaining in the EU is a vote for the status quo should examine carefully Albania’s economy, political situation and social niceties. The EU’s latest report on Albania’s application (which has been ongoing for ten years) says this:

“Progress in the accession process will depend on achievements in few key areas such as fight against corruption and organised crime, reform of judicial system and constructive and sustainable political dialogue between government and opposition.”

Nothing about the not having a pot to pish in (that will soon be cured courtesy of the EU's "net contributors"). That aside, sounds just the sort of nation we want on board.

The EU does not do a “status quo”. We can either leave and determine our own status quo or remain and be saddled with the one the EU dishes up for us.

[retrocop]

Exactly NJ. More dross to benefit, from the largesse mainly from the UK, and a poor sucker country at the mercy of the EU Usurers like Greece.Meanwhile we gradually get dragged down to the state that Albania now is. Someone will make money out of their entry and it wont be the UK. That is the main reason I want out of a corrupt EU who refuses to have an audit. Where is all that money disappearing and why wont they account for it?

[Peter Pedant]

AOG excuse me ( you s - - - old soss ----)
werent you the one with the daily Brexit thread screaming yes screaming !

burn them shoot them drown them
we dont want this sort of stuff on our shores !

dont delete in a huff - please please correct me if I am wrong.....

[Peter Pedant]

oops sorry I have read the above
( as Nigh says - just skim and reject - or reject anyway)
and no not you
one of the other usual suspects ....

[Khandro]

PP, Go and lie down and it will probably pass - good luck.

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm

I feel for the immigrants.

They are not immigrants but economic migrants, that wish to lower the standards of the countries that they are heading for.

[Zacs-Master]

Wouldn’t that be rather defeating the purpose of their endeavours?

They are not interested in Albania, it is just a stepping stone for them in their quest for more prosperous pickings.
