Immigrants dying in the Mediterranean

He also said our past intervention in Libya contributed to a worse crisis there.

I'm glad he's showing some compassion, even when you don't support a certain political party and their policies that shouldn't have to mean you entirely dismiss every opinion the party leader holds.

 

Now the question is what are the EU going to do about all those thousands of migrant deaths in the sea. They need to find a solution.Italy is a member country of the EU, they need some support urgently.

 

It will sort its self out, the more that arrive the faster our population will grow, as it grows our standard of living will fall, jobs will be harder to find and crime will increase, ghettos will grow and it will no longer be the land of milk and honey so they will stop coming.

Fellow members of Sheffield Forum, of all political persuasions, of all religious beliefs, of all ethnic backgrounds, do you not agree that the above post is the most disgusting ever displayed on this forum?

 

 

But Katie Hopkins said the same thing, surely it must be ok? Right? RIGHT?

It won't sort itself out, it needs leaders of EU countries to discuss how to deal with it, and now they are doing so according to the latest news. Lets hope they come up with the right solution. http://www.itv.com/news/story/2015-04-20/eu-leaders-hold-urgent-talks-over-migrant-deaths/

 

Mr Cameron will be attending the emergency summit on Thursday.

 

 

Most of those migrants are fleeing from great danger and suffering, risking their lives in those unsafe boats because they are desperate, our problems here are nothing compared to theirs.

What's the right solution and what if the right solution turns out to be something you don't like.

 

80% of the worlds population are suffering when compared to us and we don't have the resources to help them. They need to figure out how to help themselves and make their countries better places to live.

Why hasn't anybody thought of that one before? If only these struggling countries had someone like you running them.

They did - and they turfed us (and the French, Belgians etc) out. Many of these countries are rich in resources. Why is Nigeria like it is and not as good, if not better than somewhere like Saudi which oil, sand and very little else?

Because Nigeria has almost tripled its population in forty years. Which is their problem, which they and the rest are now trying to make our problem.

Really? Where is the great danger in Bangladesh? Or Cameroon?

[Dick 10]

Wouldn't it be worthwhile putting advertisements and programs on TV channels in their own home countries showing these rickety boats sinking and that if they do make it to Europe it's not the Eldorado they think it is.

Clever clever, what makes you think all of these people have access to television?

How do you know MOST are fleeing from danger?

Those boats may be full of thieves and rapists for all we know.

And where do they get thousands of pounds from to travel? Don't tell me it's friends and family, if like you say MOST are fleeing danger.

And why havn't the guys on these boats got it into their thick skulls that if they all rush to one side of the boat there's a good chance it will capsize.

If they can find 10k to get over here, then I'm sure they could afford a telly.

[tinfoilhat 11]

76.4% of Nigerian households have a telly. http://www.bbg.gov/wp-content/media/2014/05/Nigeria-research-brief.pdf

 

I don't know about other countries.

Or ISIS fulfilling its threat from February.

 

 

Transcripts of telephone intercepts published in Italy claim to provide evidence that ISIS is threatening to send 500,000 migrants simultaneously out to sea in hundreds of boats in a 'psychological weapon' against Europe if there is military intervention against them in Libya.

 

Many would be at risk of drowning with rescue services unable to cope. But authorities fear that if numbers on this scale arrived, European cities could witness riots.
