Tragic Loss of Life
Too many Illegal Migrants on one boat

It's not just the Channel that migrants need to be stopped crossing in small boats, it's obviously also the Med.

Yes I think in Italy Waters they (Africans) use
cheap wood built
boats

So 120 is far too many for one thin wood boat.

and >40 deaths is one too many.

It's outright negligence, or "Depraved Indifference", to misappropriate a term I hear in Law and Order :joker:

The Evil Criminal People Smugglers
in Africa and Turkey make more money
with 120

On their hand built thin wood boat

Around 800 indigenous homeless people die in this country every year.

Yes, they do not get enough help.



The Labour Party has a plan
to house them.


So many assume they will be in power
at the next General Election

I imagine Labour's plan to help them will be similar to the Tories' plan to help them. Someone should remind the homeless of their white privilege.

Death toll now 59


12 of them are Children.


Evil Smugglers
caused this.

Boat set sail from Izmir and ends up near Italy? Really asylum seekers would be happy in Greece. These ones were just greedy and it cost them their lives.

Italian Police have arrested one from Turkey
who did not drown,
believed to part of the Smugglers
that takes the Cash.

63 Dead bodies from the Sea
so far

The Wood Boat, from Turkey (boat used for fishing)
was not able to have over 200 on it.
Evil Criminal Smugglers.

the latest is that its likely over 100 died

Yes they know that now,
Italy blaming Turkey

Migrants, including children, were thrown into the sea from an overcrowded boat by people smugglers, survivors of a deadly shipwreck have said. At least 65 people, including 14 youngsters, died when their the wooden vessel slammed into shoals near the shore of Steccato di Cutro, Italy.

The boat, which sailed from Turkey and carried people from countries including Afghanistan and Iran, broke apart and sank in rough seas early on Sunday.

About 80 survivors have now been accounted for of the 170 people who are reported to have attempted the perilous journey from Izmir last week. The smugglers are alleged to have charged around £7,000 (€8,000) each for the voyage.

Survivors have now claimed the traffickers started to throw migrants, some of whom they said were children, overboard in a bid to lighten the boat's load.

One survivor told Italian newspaper La Stampa: "The traffickers started to throw kids out, they grabbed them by the arm and threw them in the sea."
