Lampedusa Swamped

[Khandro]

With "Well over 7,000 immigrants arriving on the small island in the past 5 days" alone, are we as a generation, witnessing the death of Europe? 

[Old_Geezer]

We have control and could cope, but for reasons of their own our politicians don't bother trying, and anti UK groups are using erroneous virtue signalling to try to prevent us coping. One despairs at our authorities that aren't interested in doing the job of protecting the nation, but only of abusing the population with daft legislation and general manipulation. One can only assume there must be something in the water that addles the minds of those vulnerable; or something similar.

Not long now till the shooting starts.

The tragedy goes on. In recent days, a 5 month old baby drowned during the crossing and a newborn baby delivered on a boat died .

Using adjectives like "swamped" in this context is not helpful. They are human beings, much like yourself

[Khandro]

Zacs-master //Khandro, do you mean the death of Europe as a collection of mainly white colonialist former empire creating invasionists? 
I'm afraid we can't really take the moral high ground given our collective pasts. 
Maybe it's payback time?//

 

Your attempt at virtue-signaling doesnt really carry much credence & shows up your lack understanding of European history, which pre-dates 'Coloniolism' by centuries, if not millenia. 

[Old_Geezer]

Using adjectives like "swamped" in this context is simply being honest and not trying to sugar-coat things. That has to be helpful.

Ah! a spot more virtue-signalling! have you ever been to Lampedusa?  it has a population of 6,OOO & an area of 20 square km.

 

What would you call more than doubling that population in just the last 5 days, not to mention the thousands already who have landed & are there?

err, this is the reality,

Fiveleaves, that island has been swamped.

Once Lampedusa is engulfed and sinks below the Med it will be Malta next on the itinerary.  Just 99Nm or 103 miles.  :-(

Khandro, just because Europe pre dates our invasion and plundering of resources in colonial times doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's a classic case of NIMBYism to start shouting 'go away, go away' given our plundering of other countries for their manpower and resources. 

[douglas9401]

The big differences,  ZaM, are the passage of time and the ability of us as the invaded to stop them in their tracks if need be.

We're not limited to spears and rocks when it all shakes out

[Zacs-Master]

The big difference is a lack of perspective and a big spoonful of hippocrisy. 

[douglas9401]

It's okay to have a differet view, don't worry pet. x

[naomi24]

Dunno about hypocrisy but claiming that people who weren't there should repay other people who weren't there sure is virtue signalling.

[Atheist]

Does anyone here know where these people are coming from? And why?

[naomi24]

Africa - because they want to get to Europe.

I clearly understand why Jews fled Germany to escape Naziism, but I don't see the connection you make between 'colonialism' & the peoples of Albania, Afghanistan, Guinea, Ivory Coast etc. now suddenly & illegally entering Europe.

Perhaps you can enlighten us?

Thanks, Naomi. I was hoping for a bit more info. I wondered if they were being persecuted, starved, killed or attacked by awful governments or other outfits, tribal, political or religious.
