‘More than 4,000 migrants have arrived on Europe’s shores by boat in the past two days, with the Italian government calling the crisis ‘increasingly glaring’.
The emergency comes days after Italy’s Home Secretary Angelino Alfano warned that more than half a million migrants were ready to set sail from Northern Africa for Europe.
……The traffickers, who reap vast profits from the boatloads, are equipped with satellite phones and send out requests for help just 30 to 40 miles after leaving the Libyan coasts, he said….’
The Camp of the Saints was prophetic and the Prog bleeding-heart critics of the book wrong.
Italy needs to copy Abbott – turn them back. They have far too many of their own to help especially in the south.
I don’t think the political will exists, Mawm. Especially given the chaotic state of Italian politics.
This thing is going to play out to the disastrous end, unless ordinary people decide they’ve had enough.
And don’t forget that the new pope is all for taking in the boat people. He recently said some very nasty things about those who want to stop the drownings.
It’s like some of these people live in an alternate universe. Perhaps when it’s their quarters that are being invaded they might stop and think, oh shit, maybe all this wasn’t such a brilliant idea after all.
Ah yes, the socialist Pope….
Fuck me, but that Jean Raspail was one hell of a prophet!
He surely was.
Gantt, Gecko is all bummed out because the Cape is about to get a Cat.5 cyclone and we don’t live up there any more.
She feels so cheated she’s talking about driving up to Cairns overnight….
My first reaction was “you people from north o’ the border are bat-crap crazy!”
But on thinking about it, even though Vic doesn’t get anything like the fun weather Northern Qld does, I do recall several evenings sitting on my back porch gazing in silent awe at the sheer power of the Aussie weather.
Don’t those ignorant Dings have a Press Council? You can’t have people running around calling asylum seekers immigrants.
“Dings”?
They’re neither asylum seekers nor immigrants–what they are is invaders.
“what they are is invaders.”
Darned right they are.
Wild stuff.
Though when the debt bomb triggers and society grinds to a halt, the bleeding heart Italians are going to see just how “grateful” their new arrivals are.
WTF? Obvious is obscure to those who would not give a sniff for those less fortunate than themselves. Unless, these less fortunate are useful. In which case, they become useful idiots. These people tend to surround themselves with useful idiots. That proves that they are capable of learning from history. Fuc* Me, they’ve learned clever. Where do we run?
Ones they are the majority they won’t be so tolerant with their saviors. This will end in blood lots of it for the simple reason that for them the rest is dirt. For Nasi Germany there were no good or bad jews. They were only inferior dirt.

Yep.
