Of the 900,000 refugees who entered Europe last year most were received –scared, soaked and travelling in rickety boats – by those who live on the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. And have been doing in for many years, as has Italy. In meanwhile we consider the handful who came here as a disaster. We should be ashamed
Let's not forget the Sri Lankans who fled a war that had ceased in their country. Ain't it funny how when they set out on the boat trip they were Sri Lankan but when they arrived they had become Tamils. The war in their country was based on difference and that equals RACISM. These people have the hide to call us racist. It is now safe for all Sri Lankans/Tamils to return to their island and clean up the mess.
My son is heading there to do some volunteer work soon, we are so proud of him. Just had to share that. 🙂
