Hi, Moggsy.I don't think we can begin to imagine the desperation of the migrants. I do believe that one of the reasons that the UK is, on the whole, successful as a multi-cultural society is because it does recognise the good things that immigration can bring to the culture.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-61711853357025353942013-08-12T12:56:32.784+02:002013-08-12T12:56:32.784+02:00Unknown, Malta is a tiney place.

A bit like one of those boats, but thank goodnes it can't sink, so don't be so hard on Malta in your anonyminity.<br /><br />The whole situation is dreadful for the economic migrants claiming they are refugees and for the people in the places they end up. I sort of see Anne's point too tho.Moggsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665497594666463030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-23908151060365775492013-08-12T05:14:03.186+02:002013-08-12T05:14:03.186+02:00It's a world-wide problem; with no easy answer...It's a world-wide problem; with no easy answers. So much heartbreak, sorrow and tragedy.

But I do have sympathy for those whose only "crime" is to seek a better life. <br />Hi, Unknown and thank you for the interesting link.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-73001564912809185132013-08-10T01:43:02.756+02:002013-08-10T01:43:02.756+02:00Malta used to be much friendlier towards migrants:...Malta used to be much friendlier towards migrants: http://andreasmoser.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/saint-paul-in-malta/ But that was a long time ago.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177832299625734844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-71848736989950231922013-08-10T00:58:01.582+02:002013-08-10T00:58:01.582+02:00I am trying to understand the situations ,, and I\...I am trying to understand the situations ,, and I\ know it is sad on parts,, I know that the UK cannot take anymore people , we have stretched beyond belief and yet we are taking more and more next year, I also know that so much more crime has be caused by people coming in to this country, who have no respect for us in England, Pat I am not saying NO ,, but if you come in here respect us , and our country,Anne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.com
