I was listening to BBC World Service this morning and they interviewed a number of migrants in Greece about the current situation and the new and illegal EU 'plan' to send people back to Turkey. Surprise, surprise, one migrant spokesman said that people would commit suicide or throw themselves off the boats if that were to happen. Already, those groups who're not included in the 'acceptable refugee' category are taking matters into their own hands and disappearing off to take their chances elsewhere. Who on Earth seriously expects anyone to hang around waiting for months in abject conditions for the EU to remove them back to Turkey? What's Tusk going to do about that I wonder? The ineptitude is staggering and it's perfectly clear that the EU has no credible plan. As always they've been slow to react and disunited in both policy and action. Europe has consequently been presented with a migration flood which is irreversible and that's without the impending threat from countless thousands more migrants rapidly building up in North Africa. There's no plan to deal with that either so anyone wondering whether to stay in the EU or not ought to take on board the reality that sooner or later EU members are going to have to absorb huge numbers of migrants. Regardless of any 'agreements', the UK will be pressured to take its 'fair' share regardless of any problems we have dealing with existing asylum claims, unsustainable immigration levels and rapid population growth.
