Europe
Italy's Salvini blocks own coastguard ship with migrants on board
2019-07-27
[Saudi Gazette] Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said on Friday he would not let an Italian coastguard boat carrying 135 migrants colonists dock until Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an Union countries agreed to take them in.

The Gregoretti coastguard vessel rescued the migrants colonists on Thursday from two boats off Malta, but was awaiting orders on where it could take them.

"I will not give any permission for them to disembark until Europe commits to accept all the immigrants colonists on board," Salvini, who is head of the far-right League party, said in a statement.

Rome has asked Brussels to coordinate migrant redistribution between member states, a European Commission spokeswoman said on Friday, adding that the EU executive would act to this effect.

Salvini, who is also deputy prime minister, has staked much of his political credibility on a drive to halt migrant flows and has drawn protests by closing Italia's ports to charity rescue ships.

#12  beasts of no nation

I looked up Fela Kuti. What a vile human being, and so typical of the time. Definitely not a saint, Zenobia F.

Incidentally, Malta doesn’t want them either, and probably refused permission to dock and disembark this particular lot of passengers.

#8  What pushes these beasts of no nation
To sashay all over creation?
Some blame public health
Or the building of wealth
Or Big Oil for this dark inundation.
"Lights, seeds, magic soil?
General easing of toil?"
"And the seizure of leisure
To head for the seashore!"
"Meds, mobiles, and mass transportation?"

Shriek sellers of worldly salvation,
"Bosh! Racism! Hate! Exploitation!"

#7  Really is amazing, tens of thousands streaming across our southern border. Contrast that with returning to the United States from overseas and the long lines at US Customs in the Atlanta Airport International Terminal.

#5  Return them to Malta which was the nearest harbour
Charge the captain with endangering people at sea.

#4  Why not use those fabulous machine guns that their coast guard boats come with while they are still in the water instead?

#3  Maybe nations of the world can contribute to setting up floating barges, or unused drilling platforms and structures amid sea, artificial islands etc. Like that stupid Sealand place ? Somewhere to drop off these miserable 'citizens of no country' until their admission is decided. The UN sponsored NGOs and Soros and his blue bleeding heart friends can feed them all they want there.

#2  What happened to Africa? Drop them off there, or within swimming distance.

#1  Devious bastards. Somebody bought off the Gregoretti crew. Why the rescue ? Why not drop 'em off at Malta itself ?
