He points to the stupidity of the Italians for allowing their Navy to rescue two thirds of these economic wasters. E4.3mill a day cost to the tax payers of Italy for no return. At least ISIS sells the women and children it takes hostage. His complaints and accusations are a serious never ending howl,why? He’s paints the picture for us and the situation is daunting without a doubt. He makes no effort to empathise with the Italians. Why they have chosen this path other than
“The policy change, driven by a perverted mix of human decency and political correctness, was pure folly: it has acted as a green light to wannabe boat people.”

Globalisation has done wonders for China but has it helped Africa and the Middle East all we have done there is grabbed their resources. A cheap take take take is no longer good enough.
