Hungary expects to have its big nasty wall in place by the end of this month. And that will close down the Macedonia/Serbia land route into the dear old continent, where the faucets dispense milk and honey, and Mutti, in a vacuum-enclosed box deep inside the gaseous-yellow micro-embryo superchip-gestation plant, gently greets all her subjects with a sweet, dreamless, all-thoughts-of-poverty-forgot kiss good night.<br /><br /> Of course, should any of this sound worrisome to your average asylum-seeker, there's always that famous alternative, the sea route. Migration to Davy Jones' locker might even have its token advantages -- at least there's no next stop.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-78497791205073367632015-08-11T23:21:12.212-07:002015-08-11T23:21:12.212-07:00Over the past ten years, the Greek nation has been...Over the past ten years, the Greek nation has been first stop for thousands of immigrants (and tragically a last stop, as hundreds drowned in the process) and during this time, our northern European "partners" turned a deaf ear and eye to their plight and did little to help the beleaguered Greek state; now that the "problem" is knocking on their front door, will they become sensitized as to the enormity of these poor immigrants' plight? I think not.vazambam (Vassilis Zambaras)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14515165428574974933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-70064451227197282532015-08-11T13:36:37.844-07:002015-08-11T13:36:37.844-07:00This is terrible !
