Disgusting creature!

I said this the other day , it will be ironic if all immigration laws are tightened after this disaster and we all have more hoops to jump through. Not surprised at all at his comments. ?

They can't only be seen to tighten things for the Chinese, we'll all be lumped together.

Maybe they need to get rid of all foreigners then they'll not have any more problems ( Sarc)

My sincere condolences to all those involved in this event.

The boat went out despite the warnings of very stormy weather.

Whoever made the decision to take the boat out should be prosecuted.

Will this event hurt tourism? No.

However, serious pressing of charges in this event will restore confidence in the "system".
