The Plight Of the immigrant

This happened last year,
More than 200 African migrants are feared dead after their boat capsized off the coast of Libya.
Authorities said there were 20 confirmed deaths with another 200 people missing four days after the accident.
The boat, which a Libyan police official said had a capacity of just 50, overturned Friday in high winds with about 250 on board.

This is what they face,

"Many of the children on the boats from Libya had been forced to travel thousands of miles, often alone, to escape conflict and poverty in countries such as Somalia, Eritrea and Nigeria.
"In ten months we received over 2,000 children entitled to receive protection in Italy. They were often exhausted, hungry, severely dehydrated and terrified after the journey. Many children have recounted harrowing stories, of rape and of having to see dead family members thrown out of the boat.

"Many of the child migrants had been locked up in adult detention centres before boarding the boats for Italy, and we are afraid they may be returned there when they arrive in Libya. Conditions are notoriously bad. Human rights organisations have persistently reported allegations of torture and ill-treatment at the centres in a country which has not signed the Geneva Refugee Convention."

Actually what Nick said was a more humane way of preventing death by stopping this discusting people trafficking market. When you actually think about it in a historical context this statement could actually be used to either vilify or champion the BNP, as has been done. So here we have an argument did he say this, or did he mean that? we all would like to speculate what went on in the minds of our great leaders in the past, however, this will not solve the proplems we face in the present, if people want to call the BNP fascists then let them, in my opinion the word fascist is another one of those politics words like racist, holocaust etc which are frequently used to disarm and nullify this type of debate.

This is actually a comment i made on the democracy forum i felt it would be a good post.
