The site has a large membership of racist, selfish and somewhat inhuman people who see desperate children and families as “leeches” and an inconvenience to their comfortable existence. Sad indictment of the world we live in today I’m afraid. Yes, and it's disheartening to realize how many. Edited August 30, 2020 by Dap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the boat is not trafficking anyone. By the way, he's not in charge of the boat and it's actions in the Med, he just financed its purchase.

That of destroying street furniture, burning cars, ransacking and looting shops, attacking police and firefighters, in the countries that host them.

Those "rescuers" are crossing the waters close to the african shore to pick "refugees" up. The imigrants know that and count on it.

No, the action of the boat and its crew is not human trafficking, pure and simple. The boat and its crew are doing nothing illegal and there is no indication that it is unseaworthy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rott Posted August 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2020 I think Banksy and all the others who pick up these undocumented people ought to be made responsible for their housing, food and healthcare.

nauseus Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 5 hours ago, simple1 said: EU and other countries have been fully aware of the push / pull factors from poverty ridden corrupt countries and conflict areas with people attempting to enter the EU for years, if not decades, Due to ill-advised foreign policy decisions, squabbling, complacency and all the other 'reasons' we have the situation we see today. It is well past due people stopped laying all the fault at the feet of the asylum seekers, no matter their status, the 'blame' lays with governments. Yes the EU must be aware of the factors and it has been decades, with Italy and Greece bearing the brunt. Foreign policy decisions haven't made much difference because the main problem is illegal smuggling. Many of these 'asylum seekers' are not refugees in the true sense: they start their journeys far away from the Mediterranean beaches and they embark on a journey which can be dangerous as soon as they leave leave home, not just at sea. Most of them leave their homes after freely making their own decision and after parting with a lot of cash which is paid to the people smugglers by themselves, or by sponsors. Elements of corrupt governments are guilty but blame the smugglers. Banksy & Co are just encouraging the smugglers to pep up their 'business' - the more people that leave on these little boats mean that more will be lost at sea and we really don't know the true real numbers of these poor souls. The only way to stop people dying completely is to stop the smuggling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrTuner Posted August 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2020 Sure, rescue them - and ship right back to Africa. The immigration problem must be solved on that side of Mediterranean. Nobody wants hordes of uneducated refugees creating a massive load on the welfare systems in Europe. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I doubt many, if any, are genuine asylum seekers or refugees as they would have seeked refuge in the first safe country they got to. They have heard that in the UK, they can stay for free in 4 star hotels, get given free pocket money, free food and free everything. That is why they go to the UK. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, neither is telling the truth about them, these boat people are not immigrants or migrants, they are criminally attempting to enter Europe and usually want to end up in the UK, they are illegals attempting to circumvent immigration laws by pretending to be fleeing from danger or persecution and claiming asylum when they have zero grounds to do so.

Popular Post bert bloggs Posted August 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2020 I will never see the outcome of all this ,but when my kids get old i am sure they will ,but nothing in the world is going to change ,its just going to get worse as billions more humans arrive in it ,mainly in deprived countrys ,more and more of these people will flood to the richer countrys ,where i fear they will not integrate ,and eventually outbreed the locals ,living standards will go down ,violence and lawlessness will increase ,. Basically i fear the world as we now know it will not survive . Glad i was born when i was ,i was one of the lucky ones. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) If left wing idiots want these people in the country, then why don't they offer their spare rooms and sofas? I'm sure that most are trying to make a better life, but there will also be terrorists, paedophiles and rapists.
