Re: Migrant drownings
I reckon this migrant story is only just beginning.
The EU countries are in complete denial, and the drownings are just going to ensure that more people get through, leading to more people setting off. The governments show no sign whatsoever of facing the fact and doing something.
What's happening now is just a trickle. Give it a couple of months, and it will be a flood.
If they don't remove the incentive, the Med will end up a thick immigrant soup.
It's a good time to be a trafficker.

While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Re: Migrant drownings
I see the governments got together, and decided to ''take action''.
And the so called action? To increase the rescue effort. And ''target'' the traffickers. Ha ha, they don't say how. It's just bollocks. All they have done, is increase the incentive to get on a boat.
Maybe the supply of beat-up old ships will dry up? I doubt it. There are probably thousands heading for the Med from every corner of the world now, to make some easy money.
The governments are doing their best to make the trickle into a torrent.
The only way to stop it is to do what I said. Send in the UN to take over a big patch of Libya.
Take all the boat people back there, and give them enough to eat and protection, but fuck-all else.
Who's going to pay thousands to traffickers, knowing that they will just end up back where they started?
They will have to do it, eventually.
