Homeless Europeans should rock up to some African country demanding residency, and when they're denied access they should sue the sh*t out of them.

Since the fall of South Africa, there are now no decent countries left in the entire continent.

It is a crying shame what has happened over there.

'It is a crying shame what has happened over there.'

Yep... not enough organisation to be easily exploitable.! Damn shame for your corp bosses. All that wealth lost to the chaos of human conflict.!
And of course, these same bosses have 'no blame'.
Its a damn shame, but the people displaced have no right to expect any care or succour. RIGHT HICK??

Court rules against 'turn back the boats' policy
Kirsty Needham
February 25, 2012

A EUROPEAN court verdict that Italy breached international law by pushing back asylum seekers at sea highlights the perils of the Coalition's policy to ''turn back the boats'', the Greens and federal government said yesterday. Sad

Italy and Australia are the most prominent countries to have implemented push-back policies to stem asylum seeker boat arrivals. Labor opposes the practice, but it is Coalition policy. Sad

Following the ruling in the European Court of Human Rights, Italy must pay compensation of €15,000 ($18,700) to 24 Somalian and Eritrean asylum seekers who were on three boats carrying 200 people pushed back to Libya in 2009.

Amnesty International called the judgment historic. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said it was ''a turning point''.

''The court's decision is yet another example of why the Coalition's inhumane and illegal policy to push back boats to Indonesia should never be applied,'' Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young said.

A spokesman for the Immigration Minister, Chris Bowen, said: "This yet again confirms the bloody-mindedness of Tony Abbott in arrogantly spruiking a tow-back policy that our own navy says is dangerous and risks lives … and is now found to be a breach of human rights.'' Sad

The opposition's immigration spokesman, Scott Morrison, stood by the policy yesterday.

------

Just have to push back the first half dozen, pay compensation for their return (that will be cheap compared to the alternative, bludging forever more). It will act as a deterrent to the next lot.

These people should have fought for their rights in the first place. I'm not talking about the women and children but the well fed, well-dressed males that arrive in these boats.

We, Australians, might have to be in the same position one day so, are we going to bulldoze our way to countries that have their own problems?

Yep, one of the best Bill of Rights have ruined it for corps to manipulate the population. Shame on you South Africa for putting you people so high.

Hicks, how is your maternal Indian side of the family doing now?
