They are voting for murdering desperate people
We have laws in Europe. No political party that would allow that would be legal
I pressed the up arrow with the understanding that this is satire. I will retract my feedback in the event I am wrong
Poe’s Law strikes again!
If you switch out “allow” for “say” then it’d be correct.
Wow. The video of the Greek official, denying everything during the official interview (whilst seeing video of a migrant woman and her child, forced onto a boat by armed men, who were then left in a dinghy to float towards Turkey), then caught with a hot mic during the break, talking to a colleague, saying:
“I haven’t told them much, right? It’s very clear, isn’t it. It’s not nuclear physics. I don’t know why they did it in broad daylight… It’s… obviously illegal. It’s an international crime.”
This migrant crisis will only get worse.
“That’s something that happens. The migrants travelling the Aegean Sea, very often they abandon the children. They don’t seem to have the same… affection we have for children.”
The blatant dehumanisation is sickening as well.
Yes that bit caught me off guard. How this dude just said migrants don’t care about their children… Like, my brother in christ, why do you think they’re fighting so hard to migrate somewhere better?
It’s like he’d never seen The Jinx.
When the Right talks about stopping immigration, that’s what they actually mean.
In the UK the far-right often talk about wanting to use the Royal Navy to sink migrant boats. It’s sick.
The fact that this is breaking on the BBC, also should tell you something about the state of press freedom in Mitsotakis’ Greece.
That’s what I hate the most.
If hell is real it won’t be adequate punishment for these assholes
Fun History Fact:
Between 1967 and 1974 a Greek military junta overthrew the government because they didn’t like the election results.
20% of the population still approves of it. 19% don’t have a strong opinion on a fascist takeover of democracy and the suspension of human rights in Greece.
30% of the population has nostalgia for the period.
Fun history fact. The US and UK bombed Greek partisans who helped fight against the Nazis. This was done to ensure a far right dominance in Greece after the Nazis left.

Unsurprisingly the fascist Junta was good buddies with the rest of “civilised” Europe and the US.
Not surprising. ACAB includes these fuckers as well.
According to IOM, 2023 was the
Deadliest Year on Record for Migrants with Nearly 8,600 Deaths in 2023
And BBC talks about 43 deaths in 3 years?
The 15 incidents we analysed - dated May 2020-23 - resulted in 43 deaths.
I’m not denying they analysed 15 incidents, I’m just saying that the number of deaths presented in this article is far to low, to be close to the actual number.
No wonder the EU wanted to give 1 billion to the Tunesian dictator to throw migrants in the desert
Somehow the word illegal is always missed when saying immigrants.
Which other crimes should also be punished by drowning you and your children in the ocean? Shoplifting? Speeding? Littering?
Didn’t wish death on these people. Just saying that the word illegal is always skipped.
Calling people “illegal” is dehumanizing. The fact that this is what outrages you in this story kind of says it all.
It is also factually wrong. The “legality” can only be determined by a lawful process after the people fled. Seeking refugee is a human right and the EU is happy to annihilate it for non white people.
Not calling them illegal makes you the problem.
You heard it here: Refusing to mislabel refugees as “illegal” is the problem, not drowning them.
… You won’t have a name when you ride the big airplane All they will call you will be “deportee”… https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=awKLW7WgGB8&si=uknAHeB2oFiVV5Fv
