a very different sort of eye candy. speaking only for myself. a few dead illegal immigrants

Something I would like to see far more of.

The bad news is that some were saved from the deep.

Hey … ok. Reads harsh but I never said I was entirely civilized.
More important tho, Italy does not need any more life forms of this type. They already have a slew of them and they hardly fit in, as many of you will already be aware.  And of course there’s another benefit of this happy event.  There’s now that many fewer ovem that will reproduce.
And that can only be a good thing.
What?  The world needs more?

And for those who survived?

Next stop

There’s the signpost up ahead.

Welcome to Britain !

Around 300 African migrants are now feared dead after their boat capsized off the coast of Italy.

At least 111 bodies have been pulled from the water so far - with another 200 people reported missing.

Today the Italian coast guard released dramatic pictures of some of the lucky survivors of the tragedy, being hauled to safety. 

According to Italy’s Interior Minister Angelino Alfano the ship’s captain, a 35-year-old Tunisian man, had been deported from Italy in April this year. He is currently being held under arrest.

Two pregnant women and three children - including a three-year-old boy and two-year-old girl - are among the victims.

Witnesses described ‘a cemetery in the sea’ as scores of lifeless bodies floated in waters off the Mediterranean island.

According to Interior Minister Angelino Alfano, the ship began taking on water during the night after the motor was cut as it neared Conigli island off Lampedusa, a tiny speck of an island.

Usually smugglers have mobiles or satellite phones to call for help when they near shore or run into trouble, but this time they didn’t.

Instead, someone on board set fire to a piece of material to attract the attention of passing ships, only to have the fire spread to the ship itself.

Oh damn if this doesn’t get funnier by the minute.
Hey … maybe the basis for a new sit-com?
Any ideas for titles?

Ah, haha. LOL! It gets even funnier.

The passengers all moved to one side to avoid the fire, flipping the ship and spilling hundreds of men, women and children into the sea, he said.

About 15,000 reached Italy and Malta - 13,200 and 1,800 respectively - by sea last year, the UNHCR says. Thousands more are believed to have arrived this year.

Calling the deaths of migrants ‘an endless tragedy,’ Foreign Minister Emma Bonino said: ‘The rescue operation began immediately but it is getting more difficult because now the weather is getting colder, they don’t know how to swim, they don’t know where to go.’

Migrants who arrive in Italy are allowed to apply for asylum. Many of them are ordered to leave the country but often slip away to become illegal immigrants in Italy or elsewhere in the European Union.

Italy has pressed the European Union for more help to fight the crisis which it says concerns the whole bloc.

‘This is not an Italian drama, this is a European drama,’ Alfano said. ‘Lampedusa has to be considered the frontier of Europe, not the frontier of Italy.’

In a separate incident today, around 200 migrants were reportedly escorted to the port of Syracuse on the island of Sicily, when their vessel encountered difficulties five miles off the coast.

It is the second fatal shipwreck this week in the area, following the death of 13 migrants who drowned off nearby Ragusa.

Over the past ten years, 6,200 migrants have died during the perilous crossing.

Ruthless human traffickers have been known to force migrants to jump into the sea, to be rescued by passing trawlers.

In this way they save on fuel and avoid the threat of the Italian authorities.

But fishermen have grown tired of abandoning their catch to ferry hundreds of people to shore.

During the summer, calm seas have seen the number of landings on Lampedusa soar, turning the island into an unofficial refugee camp.

  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
