No matter what we do they will keep on coming, this for them is the land of milk and honey, free money, Patel is at least trying to deter them, but the do gooders, rights lawyers, and scrounging charities, will keep them coming, keep them here, to line their own pockets, they have crossed many safe countries, so broken international law, they are by definition criminals, you try it see what happens to you, just how many are we prepared to take, don’t forget this is only the advance party, once settled it will be the tern of the wives, some will have more than one, the children , mothers farthers,brothers,sisters, millions, no joke, we were full decades ago.

I don't think debating with someone with such an obvious and odious agenda serves any of us any good.

You wouldn't know where Lampedusa is on a map still less have been there or know any of the issues involved. No you're just looking for an excuse to become, again, a frothing red-faced mass of fury. Well fortunate most people on here aren't going to play your little games or give you your cheap thrills.

Yep no debate to be had with the left wing loons ,all they have is you must have an agenda or you're a daily mail reading racist

Yet more irrelevant s##t,I suspect even a lot of Italian's didn't know where Lampedusa is let alone been there,before it became world news and we all found out ,I suppose you've been there eh

I'm sure people in Italy do know where it is, yes. And yes I spent time on the island in September 2018.

Well good for you ,just after they've got over a doddering old socialist visiting they go and get invaded by thousands of sub saharans, jeez it never rains but it pours for those poor islanders
